Here is an analysis of the TimeWise top two rated horses for each race at Catterick, presented in chronological order, along with an assessment drawing on all available source information for races on 9 September 2025:

2.10 Racing To School Reaches 250,000 Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap

• TimeWise Top Two:
  1. Stellarmasterpiece (Tdy Total: 247)
  2. Twoforthegutter (Tdy Total: 225)
• Assessment for Stellarmasterpiece:
  • Stellarmasterpiece (5yo, 11-2p) is the highest TimeWise rated horse in this race. This horse is a Catterick specialist with four wins over 1m4f, including a recent win from a 2lb lower mark where she edged out an in-form rival. While her stamina reserves at 1m6f are inconclusive, she ticks plenty of other boxes and must be considered. Trainer M D Hammond has an 80% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. The spotlight verdict notes there are “questions to answer” regarding her trip, but she is a last-time winner. Her OR is 65.
• Assessment for Twoforthegutter:
  • Twoforthegutter (5yo, 10-8b) is the second highest TimeWise rated horse. He kept on well to score at Hamilton (1m4f, good) four weeks ago. A 5lb rise in weight will make it tougher for him to win away from Hamilton for the first time. He previously finished sixth behind Stellarmasterpiece over 1m4f at Catterick in April. His trainer, C Kellett, has a 100% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. The spotlight verdict also highlights “questions to answer” regarding his track performance. His OR is 57.

2.40 ROA Supporting Racing To School’s Milestone Handicap

• TimeWise Top Two:
  1. Albegone (Tdy Total: 289)
  2. Betweenthesticks (Tdy Total: 263)
• Assessment for Albegone:
  • Albegone (7yo, 9-12p) is the top TimeWise rated horse. He boasts a fine record over C&D and was winning for the fourth time at Catterick when narrowly defying a 3lb lower mark in May. He finished a good third in a stronger race at Hamilton 12 weeks ago. Although drying ground is not ideal, he is capable of a big run back at Catterick. His trainer, T Easterby, has a 50% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. His OR is 75. The spotlight considers him “greatly respected”.
• Assessment for Betweenthesticks:
  • Betweenthesticks (5yo, 9-7p) is the second highest TimeWise rated horse. He has three wins this season, including over C&D. He has recently run into the thriving Another Baar on his last two starts, having beaten him at Pontefract three runs back. He is still feasibly weighted. His trainer, Mrs R Carr, has a 50% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. The spotlight notes that he is in form and feasibly weighted but “lots of pace on here and that may count against” him, potentially leading to him getting “trapped out wide”. His OR is 70.

3.10 Bet At racingtv.com Nursery Handicap

• TimeWise Top Two:
  1. Looks Likely (Tdy Total: 213)
  2. Maasai Mata (Tdy Total: 201)
• Assessment for Looks Likely:
  • Looks Likely (2yo, 9-8p1) is the highest TimeWise rated horse. She ran green but took a step forward when switching to handicapping, chasing home Highlighting at Chepstow (5f, good) a fortnight ago. She is now equipped with cheekpieces and steps back up in trip, making her a “strong contender”. Her trainer, H Palmer, has a 54% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. The spotlight verdict notes she is “on an upward trajectory and rates as a serious contender in a race lacking strength in depth”. Her OR is 54.
• Assessment for Maasai Mata:
  • Maasai Mata (2yo, 9-8) is the second highest TimeWise rated horse. This pacy filly has gone well for Jack Nicholls at Thirsk (6f, runner-up) and Beverley (5f, third). She seemingly hung her chance away at Beverley, but returning to this sharper track (even over 6f) could prove a better fit, and she is “likely to give her running and have a say”. Her trainer, A Nicholls, has a 29% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. Her OR is 54. The spotlight indicates that Spartacus Force “could turn the tables on Maasai Mata”.

3.40 Racing TV Club Day Restricted Maiden Stakes

• TimeWise Top Two:
  1. U Sure Do (Tdy Total: 252)
  2. Gennadius (Tdy Total: 232)
• Assessment for U Sure Do:
  • U Sure Do (3yo, 9-7) is the top TimeWise rated horse. He has been in the frame in five of his six starts, with the only exception being when attempting 7f at York. He finished fourth of 11 in a 0-85 handicap at Carlisle (6f, good) eight days ago, and a repeat of that form would give him “every chance in this uncompetitive maiden”. His trainer, T Easterby, has a 50% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. His OR is 78. The spotlight explicitly states, “U SURE DO… brings the better form and given the nod ahead of his frustrating rival”.
• Assessment for Gennadius:
  • Gennadius (3yo, 9-5) is the second highest TimeWise rated horse. He has been “frustrating,” having been placed in eight of his ten starts. His latest effort was a second of three in a Brighton maiden (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago. He “has a bit to find with U Sure Do on these terms and another runner-up spot seems likely”. His trainer, R Hannon, has a 60% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. His OR is 70.

  • Crocodile Power (7yo, 9-12) is the highest TimeWise rated horse. He is yet to score in 2025 but is “knocking on the door,” having finished runner-up over C&D 48 days ago. He won this race 12 months ago and is “very much one to consider after a break”. His trainer, S Spencer, has a 38% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. His OR is 64. The spotlight calls him the “second choice” and a “main danger”.
• Assessment for Flowstate:

• Assessment for Law Degree:
  • Law Degree (3yo, 9-9p) is the highest TimeWise rated horse. He won twice as a juvenile but has dropped down the handicap due to a losing run. He almost ended that drought when second at Musselburgh (7f, good) two weeks ago. He “should run well but soft ground would be beneficial”. His trainer, T Easterby, has a 50% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. His OR is 59. The spotlight notes he “has plummeted in the handicap and should be thereabouts”.
• Assessment for Lima Sierra:

She got off the mark at Catterick (6f, good) in June and was awarded a race at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) the following month. She “should be suited by the step up in trip and holds place claims at least”. Her trainer, N Tinkler, has a 56% success rate with runners performing to form in the last 14 days. Her OR is 57. The spotlight lists her among the horses that “cannot be discounted”.

He had today’s rivals One More Bottle (third) and Homer Stokes (fourth) behind when winning by a neck over C&D (soft) on his penultimate start.

She made it 15th-time lucky (fifth start for Ruth Carr) when overcoming a wide draw in a C&D classified contest (good) 13 days ago. Although she carries a 6lb higher weight and faces a stronger contest, “it’ll be interesting to see if he can build on that breakthrough success; don’t discount”.
