William Hill Epic Boosts Handicap (Div II)

Catterick · 16:10 · Saturday, 17 October 2026 · 7f6y · Good To Soft · Class 4

🤖 AI race preview

Classy Clarets leads the pace appeal with a strong recent form, consistent RPR of 84, and a clean win at Southwell under headgear, showing ability to set a tempo and ride through the field despite a 137lb weight — a figure that reflects a well-balanced effort across multiple runs. The horse’s recent performance at Catterick, where it took keen hold and led under pressure, combined with a favourable draw of 2 and a solid course record, makes it the standout in this field, particularly given its ability to maintain position and stay in contention over the final furlong. Indefensible presents a notable danger with a strong RPR of 86, a recent first-place finish at Southwell, and a clean run in soft ground, while It Just Takes Time, making its first appearance in a 7f6y handicap, offers a value each-way player at the forecast price due to its recent form and ability to press leaders despite a heavy 139lb weight.
