UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

PARK THIS ONE was far-from disgraced in a Grade 2 at Sandown last month and the son of Walk In The Park ought to take plenty of beating back down in grade. Lady Mendoza finished second on her hurdling debut and she must be of interest in receipt of weight, along with Swallows Song, who landed a bumper at Sedgefield in November.
Prediction : 1st Park This One 2nd Lady Mendoza 3rd Swallows Song

JUST JESS hit the frame over an extended 2m7f at Newcastle in November but she could improve for the step up in trip and is a tentative selection. Punta Prima hasn't been at his best in two handicap starts but he still has time to do better and the addition of first-time blinkers could help. Tartan Cookie bolted up from a 4lb lower mark in February and a revival isn't out of the question on his second start following wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Just Jess 2nd Punta Prima 3rd Tartan Cookie

Bardenstown Lad was a smart hurdler but he's yet to shown his best form over fences, so preference is for GIT MAKER. The unexposed seven-year-old finished a half-length second at Kelso on his latest outing and from an unchanged mark, he could go one better. Tupelo Mississippi has the ability to feature if he's fully wound up following a 338-day absence.
Prediction : 1st Git Maker 2nd Bardenstown Lad 3rd Tupelo Mississippi

Legendary Day made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when winning at Sedgefield in November and, with further improvement a distinct possibility, a second win isn't out of the question. However, he must concede weight to WHITEHAVEN, who proved a useful stayer on the Flat. The Donald McCain-trained gelding looks the type who could pay his way in this discipline and gets the vote. Matchless is another to consider but must prove as effective on these underfoot conditions.
Prediction : 1st Whitehaven 2nd Legendary Day 3rd Matchless

A 3lb rise for winning at Sedgefield should see Skyhill remain competitive, although today's sharper test may leave him vulnerable. TOM CREEN looked ahead of the handicapper when making all to win on his chase debut in November and could prove tough to beat over this longer distance. The lightly-raced Maid Of Houxty showed promise when runner-up at Kelso 38 days ago and the mare may prove the chief threat.
Prediction : 1st Tom Creen 2nd Maid Of Houxty 3rd Skyhill

Heritier has been in fine form of late with two wins over fences but he may be vulnerable now switched to the smaller obstacles. Henry Daly has his string in great shape and MILTIADES could gain a first career success on his return. Bashful is now 10lb higher than his win at Uttoxeter in November, but he cannot be ruled out and is likely to be involved once more.
Prediction : 1st Miltiades 2nd Bashful 3rd Heritier
