UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

ASMUND was only beaten a length into fourth on his seasonal return at Southwell a month ago and the seven-year-old merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance. Langholm was a close second over C&D two starts ago and has to be of interest as a result, while Shotley Royale and Rockin Rosa also merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Asmund 2nd Langholm 3rd Shotley Royale

ENGLEMERE displayed plenty of promise when second on her debut at Bath 11 days ago and the daughter of Goken could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience behind her. That said, Solid Bond should not be discounted having also shown plenty of promise on her racecourse bow at Thirsk, while Cheerleader edges out Big Bug to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Englemere 2nd Solid Bond 3rd Cheerleader

STOLEN ENCOUNTER was third on his return to this trip at Wolverhampton last time and the son of Cracksman just gets the vote off a 1lb lower mark here. Prince Hector has the form to go well but does have to prove that he stays this far, so the main threat to the selection may prove to be Lord Torranaga on this occasion.
Prediction : 1st Stolen Encounter 2nd Lord Torranaga 3rd Prince Hector

Object appeals from an unchanged mark after his success in an apprentices' race over C&D last week, while High Opinion has been threatening to get back to winning ways lately and rates a player off a competitive rating. LATIN FIVE also has rock-solid claims based on his peak form and, with ground conditions in his favour, he looks worth chancing on his first turf start of the current campaign. Dream Deal tends to go well here and is another notable contender.
Prediction : 1st Latin Five 2nd Object 3rd High Opinion

Run This Way disappointed when a strong fancy on her first run back after wind surgery at Thirsk but appeals with her match-fitness topped up. However, HIGHFIELD VIKING, a winner at the same venue on his penultimate start, shades the vote as he drops back to this more suitable trip after being stretched by a mile at Pontefract. Still of low mileage, the four-year-old has more to offer from just 4lb above that winning mark. Showtime Mahomes completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Highfield Viking 2nd Run This Way 3rd Showtime Mahomes

Cash In changed hands for 28,000 pounds as a yearling and is related to a 5f winner, so it would be no surprise if he could go close on debut. However, the vote goes to KODI LION, who was sent off co-favourite on his return to action but could only manage sixth at Kempton, although he was way too free on the day. It's possible that effort could have blown away any cobwebs and he can bounce back to score. Moral Standards is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Kodi Lion 2nd Cash In 3rd Moral Standards

SLAINTE MHATH was beaten under a length by Trilby over track and trip earlier in the month and she renews rivalry on 7lb better terms. Katie Scott's six-year-old can overturn that form and get her head back in front. Trilby was also victorious at Haydock on Friday and he ought to go close again under his penalty. Jungle Charm wasn't beaten far into fourth at Lingfield last time and is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Slainte Mhath 2nd Trilby 3rd Jungle Charm
