UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

The penny dropped late on for ICE MAX on his debut, as he hit the line well to finish fourth at Haydock in what was a highly-promising start to his career. The son of Dark Angel should have plenty more to come and he could prove tough to beat. His stablemate Respectful could be the biggest threat after finishing fifth behind subsequent winner Vandeek, who took the Richmond last week. Any market support for the 50,000gns purchase Veiled Illusion should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Ice Max 2nd Respectful 3rd Veiled Illusion

RUM RUNNER has been unlucky to fill the runner-up spot on each of his last three starts, with the latest of those efforts coming at Beverley in a class 6 handicap and he should be more than capable of taking a race of this nature in his current mood. Doomsday won't make it easy for the selection after finishing second in a similar event at a big price in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh, while last-time-out Wolverhampton winner Tea Garden could have a say if transferring her recent form to the turf.
Prediction : 1st Rum Runner 2nd Doomsday 3rd Tea Garden

HELLENISTA ran very well in this grade on her penultimate start when she was beaten just under a length into second by a subsequent winner. The daughter of Nathaniel is only 1lb higher now, following her fourth at York in a class 4 event, and she looks capable of making the most of this drop in class. Spantik was over four lengths clear of the third when second over C&D last time and he has to be considered off the same mark. Of the remainder, Easter Icon makes the most appeal as he drops back to his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Hellenista 2nd Spantik 3rd Easter Icon

DOCTOR MOZART posted a respectable second on the all-weather at Wolverhampton on Friday and David Evans' inmate must hold every chance now reverting to turf off a 4lb lower mark. Yazaman ran his best race yet for new connections when runner-up at Pontefract recently and is another to consider on this quick turnaround off 1lb lower in the ratings. The in-form Shark Two also looks capable of succeeding at this level and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Mozart 2nd Yazaman 3rd Shark Two One

JAMIL appeared to win a shade cosily here in late July and a 4lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent the eight-year-old from landing a fifth C&D success. Valley Of Flowers was behind the selection in second that day and is feared most off the same mark in this contest, while Trusty Scout, who likely found 1m3f at Hamilton on the sharp side last month, is likely to find this 1m4f more suitable.
Prediction : 1st Jamil 2nd Valley Of Flowers 3rd Trusty Scout

Shesadabber recorded a first success of the season when making all and holding on by a neck at Bath recently, but the daughter of Heeraat could be worth taking on now burdened with a 4lb penalty. MRS BAGERRAN has been in fine form of late and a reproduction of her latest C&D second may be good enough for Tracy Waggott's five-year-old to regain the winning thread. Last-time-out winner Golden Gal and Zoom Star also enter the equation.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Bagerran 2nd Golden Gal 3rd Zoom Star
