UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

There has been little stopping LET HER LOOSE in recent months, with the six-year-old making it three wins from her last four starts at Ayr on Thursday, and Archie Watson's mare could prove tough to stop once again, despite a 5lb penalty. Jamil is a four-time C&D winner who went very close to enhancing that record here earlier this month and another bold bid is expected. Just Hiss and A La Francaise are others capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Let Her Loose 2nd Jamil 3rd Just Hiss

CRACK THE KODE took a decent step forward on his nursery debut at Pontefract when potentially finding the stiff finish a bit too much in the closing stages. This track shouldn't pose as much of an issue in that regard and Kevin Ryan's gelding is expected to have more to offer. Battleofbaltimore disappointed when dropped to 5f at Lingfield latest but is better judged on his first two performances over this trip and is likely to enter calculations, while others to note include Hooray For Hazel and Chat Up Line.
Prediction : 1st Crack The Kode 2nd Battleofbaltimore 3rd Hooray For Hazel

HARAPPAN made a promising debut when outrunning his odds to finish third at Newcastle before getting off the mark at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, having been sold for 150,000gns at the Newmarket sale in between those efforts. Iain Jardine's gelding is likely to be too strong for this opposition, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Mass Consumption is capable of better following a below-par effort on his handicap debut at Newcastle, while improvement appears to be likely from A Poet's Secret.
Prediction : 1st Harappan 2nd Mass Consumption 3rd A Poets Secret

This could turn into a burn up with plenty in here wanting to be on or near the lead, which gives the in-form BOROUGH an advantage with his draw on the rail. Iain Jardine's charge should enjoy conditions and he can make it three wins in his last four starts, with Thursday's determined Beverley scorer Soul Seeker looking his main danger under a 5lb penalty. Fortunate Star is another who goes well on soft ground and must enter calculations, along with Albegone.
Prediction : 1st Borough 2nd Soul Seeker 3rd Fortunate Star

It is difficult to look past course specialist QUERCUS, who has won his last three attempts over this C&D, including victories on his last two starts, and softer ground conditions should not pose too much of an issue as he looks to strike again off a career-high mark. That may be at the main expense of recent C&D scorer Wade's Magic and the in-form Giselles Izzy, who is unproven on this ground.
Prediction : 1st Quercus 2nd Wades Magic 3rd Giselles Izzy

A winner on this card last year over shorter, RAIN CAP looks like the one to be with here having scored over C&D on his penultimate start and run very well at Hamilton since. Course regular Mr Strutter is a key player against him, along with Langholm, whose losing streak dates back to May 2022 when triumphant over C&D but he only missed out by a short head over 6f here last time. Completing the shortlist are Coaxing, Darbucks and Magical Effect.
Prediction : 1st Rain Cap 2nd Mr Strutter 3rd Langholm
