In the Book Now For New Year’s Day
Handicap (2.40) at Catterick on Tuesday, Ingleby Hollow returned
to form, in a first-time tongue tie, over 1 mile 6 furlongs at Redcar
11 days ago and remains well treated on the pick of his form last
season. David O’Meara’s 5-year-old won off today’s mark of 67
at Ayr last July and followed up at Thirsk ten days later off a mark
of 73 so, from a handicapping perspective, his chance is there for
all to see. It’s fair to say that the Beat Hollow gelding isn’t a
prolific winner, but he does have winning form over 2 miles, and
on soft ground, under Daniel Tudhope, so he must have a decent
chance of following up in another run-of-the-mill handicap. He was
notably ridden with much more restraint at Redcar than had previously
been the case and, if that’s the key to him, a 4lb rise in the
weights is hardly prohibitive. Despite his moderate wins-to-runs
ratio, he looks a potential ‘good thing’ at today’s weights.
Selection: Catterick 2.40
Ingleby Hollow to win 8/1
