UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

MILITARY GIRL didn't do herself any favours when slowly into stride on debut at Leicester, but the way she finished her race was highly encouraging, and the third has come out and since won impressively. With normal improvement expected, Michael Dods' youngster can break the maiden at the expense of Harswell Dandy and Sonic Si, who have gone well on all three career outings. Henry's Rose is one to monitor for market support, hailing from a yard that can ready one first time out.
Prediction : 1st Military Girl 2nd Harswell Dandy 3rd Sonic Si

The key to this race could be the recent clash at Nottingham between DANDY FITZ (second) and Piper's Fort (third), with Tim Easterby's charge taken to get off the mark now. The son of Dandy Man has since run with credit at Redcar and it may be Tees Douge who gives him the most to think about on his return to the turf. Unexposed handicap debutant Port And Starburd is capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Dandy Fitz 2nd Tees Douge 3rd Pipers Fort

LORD TORRANAGA may not exactly be a winning machine on the turf but his most recent effort over C&D, when third behind a winner who has scored again since, sets the standard. The evergreen nine-year-old was highly consistent last year and he gets the vote ahead of old rival Sugarpiehoneybunch. Perfect Arch could find improvement on his first start for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Lord Torranaga 2nd Sugarpiehoneybunch 3rd Perfect Arch

SEANTRABH was not beaten far when fourth in a similar event at Thirsk last time and the son of Tasleet merits plenty of respect off a 1lb lower mark here. Glory Fighter, who claimed this prize last year, should appreciate an ease in grade and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Punchbowl Flyer and Albegone are others who can go well.
Prediction : 1st Seantrabh 2nd Glory Fighter 3rd Punchbowl Flyer

DUSK DAME was second in a similar event over C&D in April and it would be no surprise to see Alice Haynes' filly go one better here. Rapido Girl took a step forward when fifth at Doncaster last time and remains open to further progression, while Obligatory is another with valid form claims. Any market support for Hachiko would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Dusk Dame 2nd Rapido Girl 3rd Obligatory

LANGHOLM has been running well in defeat all year and was only beaten a head into second over 7f at this venue last week. The veteran is 3lb well-in here and is hard to oppose as a result. Mister Sox has also been knocking on the door of late so has to be of some interest. Wreck It Ryley and Harry's Halo complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Langholm 2nd Mister Sox 3rd Wreck It Ryley
