UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

CONDARCIA arguably put in a career best over hurdles when finishing second in a similar event to this at Sedgefield last month and she appears to be the one to beat today, despite a 3lb rise in the ratings. Cougar Kid is capable of making the frame in a race of this nature, while similar comments apply to Just Call Me Al and Goldslinger.
Prediction : 1st Condarcia 2nd Cougar Kid 3rd Goldslinger

ARTISTIC LANGUAGE bumped into a decent prospect when finishing second on his hurdling debut at Wetherby last month and that experience over obstacles could prove to be vital this afternoon. Extreme Force was a bit disappointing on the Flat this year but he displayed some promise as a two-year-old and should not be underestimated today. Others to note are Fume, Sea Art and Bullion Boss.
Prediction : 1st Artistic Language 2nd Extreme Force 3rd Sea Art

MAH MATE BOB arrives here on the back of two victories last month and a 3lb rise in the ratings for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Pogue, who won between the flags, was consistent over hurdles and shouldn't be underestimated today, while Empire De Maulde merits a market inspection on his seasonal return.
Prediction : 1st Mah Mate Bob 2nd Pogue 3rd Empire De Maulde

In a moderate contest the marginal preference is for BHUTAN, who is not the most reliable of performers but he did return to winning ways at Ludlow last time out. Reve won a maiden hurdle here in February and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection this afternoon, ahead of last year's winner Too Many Chiefs and Little Millie.
Prediction : 1st Bhutan 2nd Reve 3rd Too Many Chiefs

Irish raider DECOR IRLANDAIS didn't quite stay the trip at Cartmel when last seen in August and should appreciate this slightly less demanding task after a break. Noel Kelly's charge also reverts to novice company after being tried in handicaps the last twice and is expected to be seriously competitive. Mercian Prince was deemed good enough to run in the BetVictor Gold Cup and makes some appeal back over hurdles, while Champagne Noir, who was disappointing at Aintree five weeks ago, is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Decor Irlandais 2nd Mercian Prince 3rd Champagne Noir

Sue Smith chasers are usually a joy to watch around here and it wouldn't be a surprise to see MAXED OUT KING build on his recent Sedgefield success. The 11-year-old isn't getting any younger, but he showed a nice attitude under a prominent ride to score three weeks ago and has been located another fair opening. Casual Cavalier appeared to need his reappearance at Newcastle last month and will appreciate this drop in trip, while Las Tunas may prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Maxed Out King 2nd Casual Cavalier 3rd Las Tunas

BLUESKYANDSUNSHINE is related to a few nice types and can make a winning debut under Rules for Keith Dalgleish. A half-brother to the 131-rated Printing Dollars, he cost 90,000 euros as a store and represents a trainer who is 1-2 in bumpers at this venue since 2014. Show Promise did exactly that when second on two separate occasions at Newcastle earlier in the year, while Cockney Beau was third over C&D last month and should be competitive once more.
Prediction : 1st Blueskyandsunshine 2nd Show Promise 3rd Cockney Beau
