UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Ludden Lass sets the standard with an official rating of 72 and she showed a bit more on her first start after wind surgery at Newmarket 23 days ago. The Dandy Man filly could take another step forward on this occasion, but a chance is taken on DANCE ANGEL. David O'Meara's charge ran well in defeat on her first two career starts (both on the all-weather), and can be forgiven a below-par Beverley performance. Scramble completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Dance Angel 2nd Ludden Lass 3rd Scramble

FRED BEAR powered clear of his rivals at Salisbury last time out and he appeals as the one to beat once more from a 4lb raised mark. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Victoriano merits respect back on the turf, while Hellenista, who is 3lb lower than when successful at Redcar last June, should also mount a stern challenge. Lord Torranaga is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Fred Bear 2nd Victoriano 3rd Hellenista

In a competitive heat, it might be worth taking a chance on LANGHOLM. Michael Dods' charge landed this prize from a 2lb lower mark 12 months ago and he's drawn well in a bid to repeat the dose. Surprise Picture was able to exploit a drop in the handicap when winning at Wolverhampton last month, but he remains well treated back on the grass and must enter calculations, along with Mutanaaseq. Others to note include Clotherholme and Stripzee.
Prediction : 1st Langholm 2nd Surprise Picture 3rd Mutanaaseq

Paul Midgley has done well with his sprinters lately and has another leading candidate in the shape of DARK CRUSADE, who showed some promise in four starts last season and resumes racing off a workable mark. He seems versatile regarding ground preference and, having already garnered C&D experiences, this son of Camacho has a lot going for him at this level. Jack Of Clubs is feared most in first-time cheekpieces, with Let's Go Hugo completing the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Dark Crusade 2nd Jack Of Clubs 3rd Lets Go Hugo

LIVE IN THE MOMENT had no chance to show his capabilities in the Epsom Dash last week due to his stall not opening at the correct time, so that run can easily be forgiven. The six-year-old likes to race up with the pace, and has all the right attributes to give a good account on a circuit that tends to favour front-runners. Muscika also likes to be on the speed early and is feared most, while Ready Freddie Go is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Live In The Moment 2nd Muscika 3rd Ready Freddie Go

The Sir Mark Prescott stable has hit a rich vein of form of late and ROBUSTO can continue the trend by following up on a taking first win at Salisbury last time out. He remains unexposed at the trip and he should have too much for the likes of A Day To Dream and Cloud Angel (third), who has less than a length to make up with the selection from their latest clash.
Prediction : 1st Robusto 2nd A Day To Dream 3rd Cloud Angel

A determined winner over C&D last time out, LEZARDRIEUX could have been let off lightly with a 2lb rise and he is taken to notch up an 11th career success. That may be at the main expense of fellow C&D scorer Prospect and Astapor, who has won two of his last three around here over 5f. Blackjack and Jupiter Express have the form to get involved as well.
Prediction : 1st Lezardrieux 2nd Prospect 3rd Astapor
