UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Mark Johnston's 80-rated Night Moment lost little in defeat when beaten a length into fourth over this trip at Yarmouth and should be thereabouts again. Rishworthian makes some appeal on his Thirsk victory in July and is also expected to show up well. In receipt of weight from the aforementioned pair, though, ALTALUNE looks the one to be on as she bids to improve on her recent fourth at Deauville.
Prediction : 1st Altalune 2nd Night Moment 3rd Rishworthian

REBEL SOLDIER BOY struck over C&D on his penultimate outing and although he needs to leave behind his subsequent run at Musselburgh, a first-time visor may help focus his energies. Twin Appeal has been knocking on the door and wouldn't be winning out of turn, while recent track-and-trip scorer Made For All and the consistent Redrosezorro could also make their presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Rebel Soldier Boy 2nd Twin Appeal 3rd Made For All

OSO RAPIDO shaped with an abundance of promise when beaten just half a length on his seasonal return at Beverley and wouldn't need to find a great deal of improvement in order to defy this 1lb higher mark. Soaring Star has been given wind surgery since finishing third in a novice heat at Redcar and is worth a market check now going handicapping, while it will be interesting to see if a first-time visor can sharpen up Lion Tower.
Prediction : 1st Oso Rapido 2nd Soaring Star 3rd Lion Tower

David O'Meara's COMETH THE MAN improved from start number one to two, and is the sort to progress again now moving into a nursery off an opening mark of 67. Beverage has been eased 2lb for her handicap debut effort at Yarmouth and could have better to offer, though bigger dangers to the selection may be Mokaman, who landed a 5f novice contest here last month, and Imperial Fora in the first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Cometh The Man 2nd Mokaman 3rd Imperial Fora

Pearl Of Qatar picked up minor money off this mark at Ayr and should be thereabouts, over the same trip, with a repeat performance. For win purposes, however, preference is for RAPID RUSSO, who served notice a return to winning ways was imminent when runner-up off this rating at Ayr recently. He landed a 5f novice contest here last term and appears to be getting his act together again after being gelded. Hat-trick seeker Lady Nectar cannot be left out of calculations either.
Prediction : 1st Rapid Russo 2nd Lady Nectar 3rd Pearl Of Qatar

ICE STATION ZEBRA knuckled down well to beat Vitare on her introduction at Windsor earlier this month and is expected to confirm the form, even though she's now reopposing with a penalty. What Is Life hasn't been sighted since debuting at Nottingham last summer but is interesting if the market vibes are positive on her return. Refuge and Raadea would be surprise winners.
Prediction : 1st Ice Station Zebra 2nd Vitare 3rd What Is Life

Gorgeous Gobolina had plenty in hand when landing a minor event at Musselburgh last time, but has more on her plate now moving back into handicap company. It may be worth taking a chance on SAMBUCCA SPIRIT bouncing back to form. He was denied a hat-trick when disappointing on the soft at Ayr last time but the return to better ground should suit. Grandma and Rockley Point complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sambucca Spirit 2nd Gorgeous Gobolina 3rd Grandma

Do You Love Me weakened in the closing stages over an extended 1m3f at Hamilton and will need to see her race out better if she's to get home over this longer trip. Preference is for ALPIN KING, who is closely matched with Karl Burke's filly on official figures and shaped like a step up from 1m2f would suit when finishing an outpaced fourth at Newbury latest. Bumper winner Beholden and Mark Johnston's newcomer Citronella are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Alpin King 2nd Citronella 3rd Beholden

DANCE KING posted a solid effort in defeat when third over C&D last time out and should remain competitive off an unchanged mark. Be Perfect has winning C&D form in the book and has dropped to a workable rating, though his recent efforts leave a little to be desired. Sulafaat has a break to overcome, so perhaps the main danger to the selection may be George Mallory, who went close off this figure at Hamilton.
Prediction : 1st Dance King 2nd George Mallory 3rd Sulafaat
