UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Collingham has the ability to go well in a race of this nature but his lack of a recent run just gives the edge to HONNEUR D'AJONC. James Owen's gelding was a well-held third in handicap company last time, but the drop in grade and application of a visor could see a much-improved effort here. Matchless is another who makes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Honneur DAjonc 2nd Collingham 3rd Matchless

MAGICAL ANNIE took a big step forwards when getting off the mark over hurdles at Wetherby last month and the six-year-old is the one to beat on that evidence, despite a 7lb penalty. Assorda won on her final start in France earlier this year and has to be of some interest on her UK debut, while Uokhun is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Magical Annie 2nd Assorda 3rd Uokhun

TREATY BOY appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over C&D eight days ago and even a 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop the son of Well Chosen from following up. Ensel Du Perche failed to fire last time but is a player based on his track-and-trip victory the time before. Cases can be made for Beny Nahar Road and McGrath From Clune, but the former is the pick of the pair.
Prediction : 1st Treaty Boy 2nd Ensel Du Perche 3rd Beny Nahar Road

EDGEWELL supplemented his Southwell triumph when scoring with something in hand at Fakenham 19 days ago. Although Rebecca Menzies' charge is a further 6lb higher in the ratings, he still looks ahead of the handicapper and a hat-trick may beckon. The biggest threat may emerge from Hostile Hotelier, who showed a bit more when runner-up at Musselburgh last month. Ridin Solo is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Edgewell 2nd Hostile Hotelier 3rd Ridin Solo

A return to 3m proved just the tonic for last month's Musselburgh winner Evenwood Sonofagun and a 3lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, this extended 2m3f distance may not suit the seven-year-old and it could be worth taking a punt on REHILL RELIC. Sam Allwood's charge hasn't proved the most consistent this season, but he lurks on a dangerous mark and first-time cheekpieces may spark his interest. Lahire and Born In The West are noted too.
Prediction : 1st Rehill Relic 2nd Evenwood Sonofagun 3rd Lahire

EVA'S OSKAR put a below-par sixth at Warwick behind him when rallying to land the spoils at Bangor last month. Tim Vaughan's veteran beat a competitive field that day and he can go in again. Presentandcounting was somewhat underwhelming at Fakenham 19 days ago, but a return to the scene of his last triumph may help. The son of Presenting shouldn't be far away, with Ask A Honey Bee the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Evas Oskar 2nd Presentandcounting 3rd Ask A Honey Bee
