UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

ITHAKA won in this grade at Market Rasen earlier in the month and he is only 5lb higher for that triumph. The booking of Patrick Mullins catches the eye and if he remains in the same form, then he will prove very difficult to beat. You Some Girl has filled the top two places on each of her last five outings and it would be no surprise to see her have a say. Be The Difference completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ithaka 2nd You Some Girl 3rd Be The Difference

Game Management made a successful hurdling debut over track and trip last month and the three-year-old could have plenty of improvement in him. However, he might find it tough to give 7lb away to HOSAAMM. Adrian Keatley's charge is rated 91 on the level and Brian Hughes is booked for his first start in this sphere. Any market confidence behind Bust A Move would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Hosaamm 2nd Game Management 3rd Bust A Move

NATURAL ABILITY made a victorious start for the Chris Grant stable when scoring in good style over an extended 2m at Sedgefield last month and he only has a 5lb higher mark to contend with. The step up in distance could prove to be a good move and he can record a double. Hawkseye View occupied the runner-up berth in a stronger event at Newcastle last time and has to be respected. Of the remainder, She Has Notions makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Natural Ability 2nd Hawkseye View 3rd She Has Notions

This would appear to be between the two penalised runners WISE EAGLE and Serious Chat, of which the former is preferred. A talented stayer on the Flat, the seven-year-old made a belated return to hurdles at Musselburgh last month and proved far too strong for them. Given his ability on the level, that could be the case once again. Point winner Frisby hasn't been seen since filling the runner-up spot in a bumper at Ayr in February and he requires a market check.
Prediction : 1st Wise Eagle 2nd Serious Chat 3rd Frisby

APPLES MOON made it two wins from three in handicaps when on target at Sedgefield last month and, given the manner in which she won that day, a subsequent 5lb rise might prove lenient. Vanilla Dancer, who finished behind the selection in third that day, could get closer on these revised terms, while handicap debutant Rhiannon Ring is another to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st Apples Moon 2nd Vanilla Dancer 3rd Rhiannon Ring

FLAMELCO did himself no favours by jumping left when runner-up at Hereford last month. He should be better suited by this track and the six-year-old looks capable of opening his account over fences. A dual chase winner in France, Delpotro has steadily improved since joining Charlie Longsdon's yard and can feature in the finish, while Langton Wold has placed over hurdles recently and is worthy of consideration back over the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Flamelco 2nd Delpotro 3rd Langton Wold

A winner between the flags in Ireland, KOSAC D'OUDAIRIES debuted under Rules with a fifth at Newton Abbot in October. A winner has come out of that race, and Jamie Snowden's charge will likely be thereabouts at the finish with that experience under his belt. Cobbler's Boy has joined Dan Skelton's yard since finishing second in a point-to-point in March and could go well, while last month's Sedgefield runner-up Moonbow is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Kosac Doudairies 2nd Cobblers Boy 3rd Moonbow
