UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

WATCH AND SHOOT displayed plenty of promise when a close third on his racecourse bow over 7f at Newcastle earlier in the month and George Scott's gelding could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Highfield Sunshine has filled second place in two of her last three starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Champion Again Ole looks next best.
Prediction : 1st Watch And Shoot 2nd Highfield Sunshine 3rd Champion Again Ole

In a moderate event marginal preference is for HYPE MERCHANT, who placed twice on the all-weather in April and was not disgraced when fifth at Ripon last Sunday. On the pick of her form, Wondrous Ways could prove to be the main danger, but she was disappointing last time. Yellow Dream remains unexposed and may improve with a first-time visor fitted.
Prediction : 1st Hype Merchant 2nd Wondrous Ways 3rd Yellow Dream

ZEPHLYN arrives here having won two of his last three starts and a 3lb rise for the most recent of those victories over C&D may not be enough to stop him. Quercus Robur also scored on his latest outing and the six-year-old could give the selection plenty to think about. Captain Potter edges out Zooks to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zephlyn 2nd Quercus Robur 3rd Captain Potter

RESERVARDO is entitled to be a little rusty on his first outing since last October, but the Profitable colt is 9lb and upwards ahead of those that have earned an official rating and this represents a decent opportunity for him to open his account. Nad Alshiba Snow has been off the track for a further two months but is respected having posted a solid runner-up effort at Lingfield when last sighted. Zubaru and Farandaway also have chances, but Memphisatmidnight appears up against it.
Prediction : 1st Reservardo 2nd Nad Alshiba Snow 3rd Zubaru

Irish Dancer defied odds of 28/1 when winning over C&D recently and hopefully he can prove that was no fluke, but DANDY FITZ looks the most solid option. Tim Easterby's charge ended last season with a string of solid win and placed efforts and, although he has fitness to prove on his first outing in 240 days, another bold bid is expected. Betweenthesticks was successful at this level three starts ago and he cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Dandy Fitz 2nd Irish Dancer 3rd Betweenthesticks

SYNERGISM put his underwhelming starts in novice company well behind him when scoring on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month. Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-old could have any amount of improvement to come and can defy his 7lb rise. Salaria made the frame at Beverley on her latest outing and would be foolish to dismiss, while Call Me Audrey can beat Grizzieblanca home for third.
Prediction : 1st Synergism 2nd Salaria 3rd Call Me Audrey

ANCIENT TIMES failed to supplement his victory at Doncaster when hitting the woodwork at Goodwood earlier in the month, but that was still a good effort. The seven-year-old is off an unchanged rating and he looks the one to beat. Beauzon outran his odds when filling the runner-up spot at Leicester and is just 2lb higher, so he has to be considered. Of the remainder, Ramon Di Loria makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Ancient Times 2nd Beauzon 3rd Ramon Di Loria
