UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

There was far more encouragement to be taken from HAWKSEYE VIEW's recent third-placed finish over C&D and he looks to hold every chance of gaining a breakthrough victory in this sphere. Penalised French hurdle winner Jiair Madrik has some fair form to his name and Donald McCain's charge could give the selection plenty to think about on his UK debut, while Rumble B boasts plenty of experience in this discipline.
Prediction : 1st Hawkseye View 2nd Jiair Madrik 3rd Rumble B

Belle Na Bann capitalised off a career-low mark when landing the spoils at Newcastle recently. A 3lb rise in the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from the mare and she must enter calculations. However, RESTANDBETHANKFUL has been in good form over fences of late and switches to hurdles off a 10lb lower rating. The eight-year-old just shades the verdict, with Calevade completing the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Restandbethankful 2nd Belle Na Bann 3rd Calevade

NOT WHAT IT SEEMS had a nice spin over hurdles on his seasonal bow at Newcastle last month, which should have put him spot on for this return to chasing. The eight-year-old does need to prove his stamina now upped to 3m1f, but he is bred to relish it. Ideal Du Tabert has operated at a fair level in Ireland of late and Cian Collins' inmate is feared most ahead of Conquredalofeurope.
Prediction : 1st Not What It Seems 2nd Ideal Du Tabert 3rd Conquredalofeurope

JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA sets a fair standard in this contest with a rating of 124 after he hit the frame over 2m4f on heavy ground at Hexham on his latest outing. He looks to have been found a golden opportunity to get his head in front. The main danger is Iorangi De L'isle, who makes his debut over hurdles after just one bumper start when beaten two lengths into third at this track. Ravanelli is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa 2nd Iorangi De Lisle 3rd Ravanelli

EVENT OF SIVOLA had Gibberwell (second) and Dark Duomo (fourth) behind when scoring by just under two lengths over 3m at Hexham last time. He looks to have lots in his favour to confirm that form. Skyhill made a solid return to action when finishing third over 3m3f at Sedgefield in November and could get involved off a 1lb lower rating, while The Electrician is better than his latest effort at Carlisle.
Prediction : 1st Event Of Sivola 2nd Skyhill 3rd The Electrician

HOWZAT HIRIS produced a much better performance to fill the runner-up spot over 2m7f at Market Rasen last time and the handicapper raised her just 1lb for that display. The daughter of Al Namix looks well placed to go one better and record her second career victory. The main threat is Just Jess, who was beaten into fifth here over an extended 2m3f last time and could appreciate the step back up in distance. Of the remainder, Brasingaman Bella makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Howzat Hiris 2nd Just Jess 3rd Brasingaman Bella
