UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

SECRET EQUITY got off the mark under today's jockey in a similar event at Thirsk a month ago and that form gives the five-year-old a big chance here. Polam Lane was only a short-head second behind the selection on that occasion and is an obvious threat once again on 1lb better terms. Others who make the shortlist are Hot Scoop, Monsieur Fantaisie and Golden Gal.
Prediction : 1st Secret Equity 2nd Polam Lane 3rd Hot Scoop

LET'S GO HUGO, who won a novice race over C&D in July, was only beaten a length in a competitive heat on his nursery debut at Beverley last month. He could be hard to beat off the same mark if reproducing that level of form. Dark Crusade has shown promise on his last couple of starts and should not be underestimated, while Castan and Lola's Moment are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lets Go Hugo 2nd Dark Crusade 3rd Castan

WAITING ALL NIGHT will not find many better opportunities than this to return to winning ways. Richard Spencer's colt has been highly tried this season, finishing fifth in both the Coventry and July Stakes, and he should be a class above his rivals. Mahalik was third over C&D at the beginning of August but hasn't matched that level of form in two subsequent starts, while Slingsbytoo edges out Blue Jay Way to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Waiting All Night 2nd Mahalik 3rd Slingsbytoo

Denied by the narrowest of margins at Ascot on his latest outing, SUNNINGDALE is fancied to make amends and go one better. Mohammed Tabti's 7lb claim could prove invaluable as the son of Gleneagles seeks to repel Chepstow scorer Little Edi, who appears to be the biggest danger. True Statesman ought to fare better in these calmer waters, but Family Ties will need more if she is to feature.
Prediction : 1st Sunningdale 2nd Little Edi 3rd True Statesman

A step up in trip looks set to benefit OH SO CHIC as she bids to regain the winning thread. Ed Bethell's mare proved suited by the stiff nature of Carlisle's run-in when successful over 1m6f last month, which she followed up with a good second at Redcar, and the greater emphasis on stamina can eke out further improvement. Lady Shanawell returned to form at Ripon last time out and is considered along with Witham River, who is too well treated to ignore.
Prediction : 1st Oh So Chic 2nd Lady Shanawell 3rd Witham River

Although the drop in trip is a slight concern, DESERT DREAM won in good fashion here over 7f and he's fancied to go well again, with a 3lb rise unlikely to inconvenience him. Stablemate Jet Set Go went close off this rating at Ayr three starts ago and she's worth another look, while Portelet Bay looks set to give it a good go following his C&D triumph off a 3lb lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Desert Dream 2nd Jet Set Go 3rd Portelet Bay

ARCLIGHT has been well supported ahead of her last few starts and although she slightly disappointed last time, the application of cheekpieces could do the trick. It's hard to know what to expect from Auntie Margaret, but if she's on a going day as she was when winning at Leicester earlier this month, she could go well off just 3lb higher. Two Brothers went close over C&D last time and looks set to be involved once again.
Prediction : 1st Arclight 2nd Auntie Margaret 3rd Two Brothers
