CATTERICK punters should adopt a philosophical view on the racing by lending their support to Nietzsche.

The three-year-old son of Poet's Voice has been well tried this season but now looks as good a time as ever to get back involved.

Brian Ellison's inmate has posted some fine efforts during the course of the year, the most noteworthy of which came in April when he won back-to-back races at Nottingham and Beverley.

He was also deemed sharp enough to go to Royal Ascot, where he did not do too badly at all in finishing seventh in the King George V Stakes.

Next up was a visit to Ayr, where he was sent on his way a well-backed 3-1 favourite in a tight mile-and-a-quarter handicap.

Nietzsche was a little too keen for his own good in Scotland but he made significant late gains to finish fourth behind Robinnielly, beaten under two lengths.

To that end, the return to a mile and a half for the Betfred Goals Galore Extra Handicap looks a shrewd piece of business as today's nap selection.

His cause will probably be aided by a little more rain but, in any event, he should still be smart enough to win a race like this, with claimer Callum Shepherd in the saddle.

TREVISANI can prevail from the summit of the weights as George Baker rides in the 32Red Handicap at Kempton's evening meeting.

David Lanigan's lightly-raced four-year-old had a whale of a time at Haydock earlier this month when he stretched nearly two lengths clear in a decent mile-and-three-quarter handicap.

That was his first try over that distance and he responded with a hint of panache on ground that was very quick.

Trevisani was, if anything, not stopping as the line approached, so the decision to step up in trip to two miles appears a wise manoeuvre.

An easy winner at Kempton back in October, there is probably a good bit more to come from a horse who only went up 4lb for his comprehensive victory at Haydock.

MR ROCK might go well at a fair old price under Pat Cosgrave in the Danny Traynor Memorial Handicap on the Lingfield turf.

The George Baker-trained five-year-old put in some pleasing late work on his seasonal debut at Windsor last month and should be a great deal fitter for that blow-out.

A small race like this should be comfortably within reach – despite being burdened with joint-top weight.

LA BACOUETTEUSE looks the one to be on in the Gloria Roche Handicap as Garry Whillans rides at Musselburgh.

Iain Jardine's old-timer was forced to sit and suffer from the rear at Ripon last time out but still emerged with credit in third spot.

Five times a Musselburgh winner, the stamina-laden La Bacouetteuse must hold ever chance on a 3lb lower mark off which he last struck the back of the net.
