UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

The key to this race could be the recent clash over C&D between TOMMYTWOHOOTS (second) and Birdie Bowers (third), with preference for the former, who is now 4lb below his last winning mark. Dapper Man did it well at Southwell last time out and is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Spanish Angel, who was somewhat unlucky when short of room in that aforementioned contest over C&D.
Prediction : 1st Tommytwohoots 2nd Birdie Bowers 3rd Dapper Man

HIGH OVATION is bred to go on the turf being a son of Harry Angel, and recent efforts over further on the all-weather suggest that dropping back in trip could be just what the doctor ordered. Changeofmind had Erosion Risk (third) behind when scoring on debut at Chester last June, but he has not been in action since and this is a tough ask on his return.
Prediction : 1st High Ovation 2nd Changeofmind 3rd Erosion Risk

This can go the way of SERA DAWN, who proved her liking for soft ground when scoring narrowly at Nottingham recently and a mark of 70 could prove lenient on her handicap debut. Premier Option ran a fine race on his return over C&D and he is likely to be a key player, as well as the hat-trick seeking Doctor Mozart.
Prediction : 1st Sera Dawn 2nd Premier Option 3rd Doctor Mozart

FORGETMENOTBLUE (third) had Turbulent Power (sixth) well held over this trip on her latest outing at Thirsk on soft ground and, even though she is 3lb worse off at the weights this time, she ought to go very close to getting her head in front. The main danger is Breguet Boy, who showed up well at Southwell on his latest outing when beaten four lengths into third.
Prediction : 1st Forgetmenotblue 2nd Breguet Boy 3rd Turbulent Power

Westmorian (third) had Newyorkstateofmind (fourth) a neck behind last time at Wolverhampton, and that form could be reversed with the latter getting a 1lb pull at the weights. However, the vote goes to SPECIAL MAYSON, who should relish conditions once more and was only beaten a length and a half at this track over 7f earlier this month. The son of Mayson won over this trip off a 4lb lower mark in October at Leicester and holds very strong claims.
Prediction : 1st Special Mayson 2nd Newyorkstateofmind 3rd Westmorian

LANGHOLM was only beaten a length into second over C&D on his seasonal return two weeks ago and, with the benefit of that run, the seven-year-old could go one better off the same mark. Milbanke was in good form on the all-weather when last seen in November and merits respect, while Barney's Bay and Miss Britain are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Langholm 2nd Milbanke 3rd Barneys Bay

MR JETMAN has shown some promise in novice/maiden company and Grant Tuer's gelding merits plenty of respect on his handicap debut now upped in trip. Smile And Pay was third in a similar event over 6f at Redcar two starts ago and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Capofan edges out Centerstage to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mr Jetman 2nd Smile And Pay 3rd Capofan
