UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

FRISBY showed ability when making the frame on his hurdling debut over an extended 2m3f at this venue in December and this step up in trip could be a good move. Patrick Neville's seven-year-old sports a first-time tongue-tie and might find the improvement required. The Clonmel Kid finished a respectable third on his first start over timber here last month and could take a step forward, while Tigerbythetail completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Frisby 2nd The Clonmel Kid 3rd Tigerbythetail

ASA finished 16 lengths clear of the third when taking the silver medal home in this grade at Market Rasen six days ago and competes off an unchanged mark. The six-year-old makes only her fifth chase start and could have more to offer. Northern Reel hasn't finished outside of the top two home on each of her last three outings, winning once, and should remain competitive, while Baby Chou is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Asa 2nd Northern Reel 3rd Baby Chou

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU justified favouritism in ready fashion over an extended 2m3f at this track on New Year's Day and he now makes his first start in a handicap in this sphere. Jennie Candlish's five-year-old should have no issues with this drop in trip and an opening mark of 118 looks manageable. Bathgate is in brilliant form after scoring over C&D last month and has to be respected. Nowmelad is next best.
Prediction : 1st Its All About You 2nd Bathgate 3rd Nowmelad

IDEALLKO continues to go from strength to strength and is turned out quickly following a 22-length victory at Southwell last Monday when making it a hat-trick. The seven-year-old is expected to be a tough nut to crack with a 7lb penalty unlikely to make any difference. Tanking Along appeals as the type who can improve for the switch to chasing, while the application of cheekpieces might help As Tears Go By.
Prediction : 1st Ideallko 2nd Tanking Along 3rd As Tears Go By

FOSTER'S FORTUNE ran out a comfortable winner at Sedgefield in December before going close off a 7lb higher mark on Boxing Day at the same venue, and this represents a fine opportunity for Chris Grant's progressive gelding to strike again. Hajey is 3lb lower than when finishing second in this contest 12 months ago and is respected following a wind operation, while Not A Light and Saligo Bay are noted too.
Prediction : 1st Fosters Fortune 2nd Hajey 3rd Not A Light

Sedgefield winner COUNT OF VENDOME backed that performance up when third in a Listed contest at Cheltenham in November and the son of Getaway sets a decent standard based on the evidence of that display. American Empire may step forward from his third on debut at Lingfield, while Jet Approach is related to several winners and isn't one to discount.
Prediction : 1st Count Of Vendome 2nd American Empire 3rd Jet Approach
