The 13.20 at Catterick is a cracking handicap to get the day started and contains a few runners that we have traded on in the past in the form of Rusty Rocket & Half A Billion. Both have successfully traded for us whenever they have been put up however last time out Rusty Rocket did not run as expected, he still traded from the price advised but lacked the enthusiasm that he’s shown in his other races this season. It may have been that he didn’t like the heavy conditions at Nottingham that day but as consistency is something we value when looking for a trading horse it makes the selection for this race Half A Billion.
Half A Billion has been available to trade in 9 of his last 10 races due to the positive tactics employed on him where he gets out & attempts to make all. Lesser-known jockey Connor Nichol has retained the ride after a good effort last time out where the partnership finished 2nd on the all weather at Southwell. Another bold display from the front should see his price shorten up enough to give us a trade.
Half A Billion is available to back now for 2 points at 8.0 at the books (betfred, boyles, Ladbrokes) & on betfair. If you want 30% profit then lay off 2.6 points at 6.6 or if you want 50% profit they lay off 3.05 points at 5.1 to give you a 1 point all round profit.
Best of luck.

Keep an eye on that apprentice Connor Nichol, he's useful to say the least.
