2.20 Catterick Ghafeer 9/4 (WON -0.75 - the market gave us no confidence as he drifted out to 9/2. But Tom rode a perfect race and won by half a length but a further 5 clear of third)
On the official ratings only Whitcobe Flyer gets near Ghafeer at todays weights, and the former has only had one run on turf before - on Good to Firm. Tom Eaves hasn't ridden a winner for a while but I expect him to notch one here and 9/4 seems a better than fair price.

3.50 Catterick Grand Opera 7/2 (6th -1.75 - finished four lengths back of the winner. Robert Winston had to stop and start on him a coupel of times as the gaps didnt open up he had prayed for)
Ran an excellent race last week at Redcar only to lose by a head. The yard haven't normally run him so soon after a run which suggests there is a win to be had this time. Howard Johnson's horses have had a spot of seconditis as we found yesterday but lets go with this one to overcome that.

7.45 Arsenal v Liverpool Draw 21/10 (WON +0.35 - It looked ominous when Arsenal took the lead, but all credit to Liverpool and they, like I do, will feel thye can now go through)
Bound to be a cagey affair this one. Will be interesting to see if its played like a Premiership game or a European game, but neither side will want to give anything away. Liverpool will be keen to try to nick a goal, as will Arsenal - an away goal could be valuable. But for me there is little between these sides at the moment and with two more matches to come in the next seven days, honours even in the first one for me.

4am India v South Africa 2nd Test Draw 11/10
The first test was dominated by the batsmen with thousands of runs and few wickets, even on day five. This wicket apparently has a fair amount of grass on it, and with three out the last four tests played here ending in a draw, I expect this one to go the same way.
