UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

DAHILLS HILL was out of her depth on her first start since March 2018 when pitched in against a trio of quality mares at Wetherby on her chasing bow. However, she had been progressive over hurdles prior to her absence and, in a contest lacking depth on paper, the eight-year-old can take advantage of the switch back to timber. Flanagans Field is 3lb lower than his last win at Plumpton in November and can enter calculations, while a change of stable could aid the cause of Pepper Street as she wears a tongue-tie for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Dahills Hill 2nd Flanagans Field 3rd Pepper Street

DJANGO DJANGO returned from a break to win in decent fashion at Newbury in January and the seven-year-old remains open to further progression on just his fourth outing over fences. A pair of cheekpieces could aid the cause of Coole Hall as he arrives on the back of a couple of decent efforts, including when second to subsequent Grade 2 winner Two For Gold at Kelso, while the step back up in trip promises to suit Stradivarius Davis after a solid performance on his chasing bow at Newcastle in January.
Prediction : 1st Django Django 2nd Coole Hall 3rd Stradivarius Davis

ZOUTOISE has improved with each outing over timber and her second to a useful mare of Dan Skelton's at Ludlow in November appears good enough for her to shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. A half-sister to top performer Whisper, she is likely to get better over time and can prove too strong for Ilaya, whose victories have come in handicap company, and Lightening Dance.
Prediction : 1st Zoutoise 2nd Ilaya 3rd Lightening Dance

Barring a trip to Newcastle for a jumpers' bumper recently, Niven has campaigned exclusively at Wetherby this season and it will be interesting to see if a move away from the West Yorkshire venue can see him back to his best off what is a dangerous looking rating. However, preference is for PULL TOGETHER, whose last victory came on heavy ground off a 3lb higher mark and he offered encouragement when third at Fakenham in November. Las Tunas and Ringaringarosie are other solid operators to consider.
Prediction : 1st Pull Together 2nd Niven 3rd Ringaringarosie

MAMOO made it two course-and-distance victories in his last three starts when getting his head in front last week and Sam England's course specialist rates as the one to beat once again under a 7lb penalty. Fresh New Dawn wasn't beaten far off this rating at Market Rasen last time and is respected, while Craig Star was a silver medallist at Carlisle recently and Brian Hughes takes over in the saddle. Scottish Accent and Brotherly Company are others in the line-up who could cause a surprise.
Prediction : 1st Mamoo 2nd Fresh New Dawn 3rd Craig Star

It will be disappointing if WISHING AND HOPING doesn't do the business. He brings a rating of 137 to the table and has been in great nick of late, supplementing a success between the flags in December with win and second-placed efforts under Rules at Taunton and Haydock. He should prove too good for the likes of Waterloo Warrior and Light Flicker.
Prediction : 1st Wishing And Hoping 2nd Waterloo Warrior 3rd Light Flicker

ANYTHINGFORLOVE is penalised for her debut success at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve but still gets weight from fellow scorer Pennine Cross because of her weight-for-sex allowance and is taken to go in again. Philip Kirby's C&D winner struggled under a penalty at Wetherby, so perhaps the main danger to the selection is Frascato Bello, who represents a top yard, is related to a couple of winners over obstacles and fetched 52,000 euros.
Prediction : 1st Anythingforlove 2nd Frascato Bello 3rd Pennine Cross
