UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

The Dancing Poet won this in both 2021 and 2022 and although only fourth last year, he is likely to have been laid out for another shot this season. However, LIBERATED LAD arrives in excellent form after wins at Nottingham and Wolverhampton last month and an added 3lb for his latest success may not stop the hat-trick, with his jockey claiming 5lb. She's A Novelty is another danger after a return to form when second at Windsor.
Prediction : 1st Liberated Lad 2nd The Dancing Poet 3rd Shes A Novelty

Trainer Nigel Tinkler is as capable as any given the ammunition and he won this in 2021 with the well-backed Woodlands Charm, so it will be interesting to see where GO ON ROSIE sits in the market. She made all to comfortably justify favouritism at Beverley last week and if she tries the same tactics over this trip under a penalty, she should go well. Almanjoor, who chased the selection home on the Westwood, looks her biggest danger again, followed closely by course winner Wondrous Ways.
Prediction : 1st Go On Rosie 2nd Almanjoor 3rd Wondrous Ways

One Of Our Own is the only recent winner in this field after scoring over C&D last time out. She clearly gets on with Kaiya Fraser and can go well again off 5lb higher, while Oneforsue showed signs of an imminent return to form when fifth at Haydock, but a chance is taken on DREAM DEAL. Third to One Of Our Own last time, he meets her on 5lb better terms in a first-time visor and looks to have every chance of repeating his victory of 12 months ago.
Prediction : 1st Dream Deal 2nd One Of Our Own 3rd Oneforsue

L'EAGLE AID failed to fire when sent off favourite at Hamilton, but he steps back out of handicap company and boasts plenty more experience than his rivals. Charlie Johnston's three-year-old sets the standard with a rating of 67 and looks to have lots in his favour to get off the mark. Vinny's Dream finished fourth over 1m2f at Chelmsford on debut and could improve for this step up in distance, while any market confidence behind Delay would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st LEagle Aid 2nd Vinnys Dream 3rd Delay

Macanudo has hit the crossbar on three of his last four outings and should remain competitive off 1lb higher than his most recent second at Lingfield. However, GLORY FIGHTER looks the way to go. Paul Midgley's eight-year-old made most of the running to be victorious at Musselburgh earlier in the month and could prove very hard to beat again. Birkenhead may bounce back and get into contention.
Prediction : 1st Glory Fighter 2nd Macanudo 3rd Birkenhead

Coconut Bay was a three-length victor in a classified event over track and trip earlier in the month and has to be taken seriously on her return to the handicap ranks. However, she could come out second best to BULMER BANK. The son of National Defense has run to a solid level on all four starts in 2024, including when runner-up at Newcastle last time, and he may go one better. Sir Garfield completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bulmer Bank 2nd Coconut Bay 3rd Sir Garfield
