UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Liberty Breeze has won two of his three starts over this C&D, with the latest of those wins coming off this mark in July last year, but he will need to step up on a disappointing run (last of 11) at Thirsk on his return to have a say. Two Summers was only beaten a neck at Doncaster last time but has an added 4lb now and a chance is taken on RAIN CAP, who was only beaten a length at Wolverhampton last month and has winning form on a similar surface.
Prediction : 1st Rain Cap 2nd Two Summers 3rd Liberty Breeze

SPECIFIC TIMES showed some promise when fifth on her Newmarket debut, despite becoming unbalanced at a crucial stage, and if she has learned from that experience, then she may be able to come out on top in this small field. Majestic Beauty looks the better of the two newcomers on paper, as a half-sister to Mr Wizard, and she may be good enough to pick up second place, although Harvanna is also a daughter of Havana Grey and might have a say as well.
Prediction : 1st Majestic Beauty 2nd Specific Times 3rd Harvanna

Zoom Star has won twice over C&D on ground with plenty of cut in it and he is one to take seriously now, but if GOLDEN GAL improves at all for her first start after a wind-op, when fourth here last month, then she could be well handicapped. A comfortable winner on soft ground off 2lb higher here last summer, she may win for the fourth time, with the ex-Irish Laakhof one to watch in the market in a first-time tongue-tie.
Prediction : 1st Golden Gal 2nd Zoom Star 3rd Laakhof

Laura's Breeze, a half-sister to three-time 5f winner Peerless, is respected after she made a pleasing start over this trip in hot-looking Newbury maiden last month. She should be wiser for the experience and rates a key player today. However, FINAL CREDIT, who cost 100,000gns as a yearling, also has a striking pedigree and looks a tad more appealing given this sort of distance appears to be an ideal staring point on paper. Opera Legend is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Final Credit 2nd Lauras Breeze 3rd Opera Legend

Cold Henry finished last season with a couple of C&D wins and is high on the shorlist resuming from just a 4lb higher mark. Quercus Robur also warrants consideration given he still has scope to improve over the trip and might find it easier to give weight away now he drops in class. However, the vote goes to ROBERT JOHNSON, who has proven his stamina over hurdles and looks progressive enough to defy the 5lb penalty for winning over 1m4f at Thirsk last week.
Prediction : 1st Robert Johnson 2nd Cold Henry 3rd Quercus Robur

Lezardrieux won over C&D off 1lb lower last September and is respected after returning with a good second on the all-weather last week, while Redrosezorro is a seven-time course winner who can never confidently be ruled out back at his seemingly favourite course. However, slight preference is for LANGHOLM, who is versatile regarding the trip and ground, and, having gone close over 7f here in both of his last two outings, dropping back in distance can prompt a return to winning ways today.
Prediction : 1st Langholm 2nd Lezardrieux 3rd Redrosezorro

Turbulent Power has filled the runner-up spot on her last three starts, including twice over C&D last month, and another bold bid is expected following her most recent effort at Thirsk on Thursday. Jamih was in fine fettle last season, winning twice and placing on three occasions from seven outings, and has to be of considerable interest, but a chance is taken with SICARIO. The eight-year-old has mostly been a consistent performer since joining Mick Appleby last autumn and it would be no surprise if he returned to winning ways, especially having his first run on turf for the East Midlands handler.
Prediction : 1st Sicario 2nd Turbulent Power 3rd Jamih

JAMIL shaped better than the distance he was beaten suggests when placing at Thirsk on Thursday and this appears to represent a fine opportunity for the eight-year-old in a contest that lacks depth on paper. Tiberio Force is likely to step forward from his return at Doncaster last month, while Visitant's second at Thirsk last month earns him a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jamil 2nd Tiberio Force 3rd Visitant
