UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

HITMAN FRED held on for a fifth success over fences at Ayr last month and, with Dylan Johnston now on board claiming 10lb, he could make light work of a 4lb rise in the ratings. Midnight Moss has posted two creditable efforts in defeat since returning in early December and ought to give his running once more, while the Tim Vaughan-trained Trixster, who should appreciate this return to a left-handed track, is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Hitman Fred 2nd Midnight Moss 3rd Trixster

SUPREME GIFT put his Newcastle mishap behind him when recording a second win over hurdles at Huntingdon on Boxing Day, and he could be up to the challenge of shouldering a double penalty. Howlingmadmurdock remains unbeaten after winning on his hurdling bow at Plumpton last month and, with more improvement a distinct possibility, the six-year-old may pose the biggest threat. Perculator ran with more encouragement when last seen finishing runner-up and is another to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st Supreme Gift 2nd Howlingmadmurdock 3rd Perculator

Bolsover Bill chases a fourth successive victory over fences after winning over 2m at Ffos Las earlier in the month, but he may prove vulnerable now 10lb higher in the handicap. MCGARRY appeared to blow up on his chasing debut after a 416-day absence and compensation could await with that run under his belt. Roccowithlove won here recently and, while not looking overburdened by a 6lb rise in the ratings, he is another who could go well.
Prediction : 1st Mcgarry 2nd Bolsover Bill 3rd Roccowithlove

A taking winner over C&D last time out, HAPPY AND FINE continues to go from strength to strength and an 8lb rise for that victory may not be enough to stop him from landing the hat-trick. Will Victory arrives in a similar vein of form and she must enter calculations, along with Hajey, who has just under four lengths to find with the selection.
Prediction : 1st Happy And Fine 2nd Will Victory 3rd Hajey

Now that the penny has dropped for GIT MAKER over fences there should be plenty more to come from the son of Saddler Maker as he looks to follow up on an easy win over C&D. Conquredalofeurope didn't quite see out the trip at Haydock, but he should be much more at home over this distance, while Not What It Seems is entitled to have come on for his chase debut at Wetherby.
Prediction : 1st Git Maker 2nd Conquredalofeurope 3rd Not What It Seems

An eye-catcher when staying on from off the pace to finish a respectable fourth over C&D last time out, BELLE NA BANN is entitled to improve on her first start for new connections. The seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of the unexposed handicap debutant Teasing Georgia and Misty Mani, who prefers better ground and has not tasted success since September.
Prediction : 1st Belle Na Bann 2nd Teasing Georgia 3rd Misty Mani
