UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

After going close when unconsidered in the betting on her Pontefract debut, HARSWELL DANDY proved it was no fluke when occupying the runner-up berth again at Ayr. The winner of that race then acquitted himself well at the Dante meeting, and the daughter of Dandy Man can make it third-time lucky. Brazilian Belle offered encouragement in fourth at Thirsk, as J Street did when filling the same position at Beverley. Sybaris Jewel was a place ahead of her there, but struggled in the Marygate at York last week.
Prediction : 1st Harswell Dandy 2nd Brazilian Belle 3rd J Street

Polam Lane is the most interesting contender on his return from the sidelines, but RESILIENCE is preferred. Craig Lidster's sprinter is also back from a break, albeit a much shorter one, and shaped like his turn in the winner's enclosure was imminent during a progressive winter campaign on the all-weather. One For The Ladies has been performing well on ground that probably wasn't quick enough for her. Turf maiden Golden Rainbow shouldn't be far way, while Irish Dancer beat Birkenhead to the runner-up berth over C&D last week but is again out of the handicap.
Prediction : 1st Resilience 2nd Polam Lane 3rd One For The Ladies

The experience Belcamo brings to the table will stand him in good stead, while Yurinov showed ability when runner-up at Ripon on his belated debut. Positivia didn't do badly at Newcastle on his Flat bow, nor did Epidavros when fourth at Bath. Owen Burrows doesn't send many runners to Catterick, though, and the hint must be taken. His SEE THE GREEN took a step forward from his introduction when finding only one too strong at Ripon and only a bit more improvement may be enough.
Prediction : 1st See The Green 2nd Belcamo 3rd Yurinov

MACARONE could give weight and a beating to his rivals. He is entitled to improve for his comeback third at Pontefract, form which took a boost when the winner followed up on Monday, and forecast quicker ground should also suit. Wichahpi usually breaks well and could be dangerous from stall one, while Tim Easterby looks to have a couple of solid chances with Marie's Secret and Queens Road Revue.
Prediction : 1st Macarone 2nd Wichahpi 3rd Maries Secret

An open-looking contest could go the way of WHITE UMBRELLA, who won her only previous visit here and ran right up to her best when scoring comfortably at Wolverhampton last time. If her outside draw in stall 11 proves too much to overcome, Ghathanfar, who is 1lb well-in, could be the one to take advantage. A Pint Of Bear, Dazy Mazy and Canaria Queen all arrive in winning form and add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st White Umbrella 2nd Ghathanfar 3rd A Pint Of Bear

LOKANA was an impressive all-the-way winner of a Thirsk maiden earlier this month and, with improvement likely, she gets the vote to follow up on her handicap debut. Cue's Beau looks an obvious danger, having struck at Ayr last time and being Ed Dunlop's only runner on the card. Happier is creeping down to a dangerous mark but has her stamina to prove, while a hooded Taygar also deserves a mention.
Prediction : 1st Lokana 2nd Cues Beau 3rd Taygar

Having overcome a wide draw at Musselburgh earlier this month, WITHOUT DELAY was value for further than the narrow winning distance that day. A 3lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable for Tracy Waggott's mare and she's taken to complete a double. The biggest danger could be Key Look, who posted her best effort of the year when third over C&D recently, while Homer Stokes is likely to benefit from this drop into a 0-55 event.
Prediction : 1st Without Delay 2nd Key Look 3rd Homer Stokes

Recent solid form is thin on the ground and this looks a suitable opportunity for LANGHOLM to get back on the scoresheet. The eight-year-old's last victory was recorded over C&D almost two years ago and a return to this trip could prove fruitful. Six-time course winner Mr Strutter is still 3lb above his last winning mark, but he always warrants respect at this venue and may put up the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Elladora.
Prediction : 1st Langholm 2nd Mr Strutter 3rd Elladora
