UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

MARINA GROVE cost 110,000 pounds at the Goffs UK Premier sale and makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, with her dam a half-sister to Group 1 heroine Mabs Cross. Tim Easterby's string have been amongst the winners recently and she gets the vote over the more experienced pair of Mighty Spirit, who has achieved a fair level of form without getting off the mark, and The Bell Conductor.
Prediction : 1st Marina Grove 2nd Mighty Spirit 3rd The Bell Conductor

TRULOVE benefited from the return to soft ground when scoring for the first time in her career at Hamilton last month and with similar conditions underfoot on this occasion, she could handle a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Burmese Blazer can enter the reckoning having placed in two of his last three outings, while The Grey Zebedee, a C&D winner in August, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Trulove 2nd Burmese Blazer 3rd The Grey Zebedee

WHERE'S JEFF has enjoyed a fine campaign, winning three of his last five outings, and Mick Easterby's gelding appears to have more to offer having gone up only 3lb for his Thirsk success. Bo Samraan gained his first victory at Pontefract last Monday and must enter calculations under a 6lb penalty, while Jabbaar could bounce back on softer ground with first-time cheekpieces fitted.
Prediction : 1st Wheres Jeff 2nd Bo Samraan 3rd Jabbaar

TUKHOOM has been in good heart of late and can bounce back from a slightly below par effort at Goodwood last time. The six-year-old has won three times since the beginning of August and could strike again. Magical Effect shaped on his latest start over 6f at the track as though a step back up in trip would benefit him, while Zip and Casement appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tukhoom 2nd Magical Effect 3rd Zip

TOR impressed on his first start for Marjorie Fife at Musselburgh two weeks ago when fourth and could take advantage of this fair mark under James Sullivan. Slightly hampered in the closing stages last time, he could get more luck here and appeals most. Cornerstone Lad was in good form before his break and merits respect, while Miss Ranger is interesting after her course success over a couple of furlongs shorter 10 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Tor 2nd Cornerstone Lad 3rd Miss Ranger

Quick Look claimed an overdue success at Chester in June, although plenty went his way on that occasion and a 136-day absence makes life tough here. Gabrial The Devil is well drawn and doesn't mind these conditions, but the suspicion is that AIRGLOW is better treated. Second at Southwell eight days ago, he was previously fifth of 15 here over 7f and could take some stopping now tackling this shorter distance from a low draw.
Prediction : 1st Airglow 2nd Quick Look 3rd Gabrial The Devil

MY VALENTINO has won two in a row for Dianne Sayer and should remain competitive at the very least despite a further 5lb rise. The six-year-old is versatile and shouldn't mind this drop to 6f, while soft ground won't pose any issue either. Moonlit Sands represents an in-form yard and has had a wind operation since last seen, while Isabella Ruby, third on Tapeta 17 days ago, could pick up the pieces for third.
Prediction : 1st My Valentino 2nd Moonlit Sands 3rd Isabella Ruby

VALLARTA scored at Hamilton before finding one too good on Fibresand two weeks ago and could regain the winning thread returned to turf. The nine-year-old remains on a workable mark of 51 and is taken to dispose of Cuppacoco, who was a neck second at Newcastle last time. Night Law probably needs to drop a few more pounds in the weights, while Chickenfortea could prove good enough to collect some minor money.
Prediction : 1st Vallarta 2nd Cuppacoco 3rd Chickenfortea
