UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

There was plenty to like about the debut run from DUSKAURA at Yarmouth last month, where she finished second to an expensive purchase and was well clear of rest. Based on the limited evidence available, the daughter of Twilight Son is the safest option here. Yellow Diamonds was well adrift in fourth in that race but can do better now she holds experience. However, Chalice Beauty, a half-sister to four winners, won't need to be out of the ordinary to fill the runner-up slot.
Prediction : 1st Duskaura 2nd Chalice Beauty 3rd Yellow Diamonds

There is little to split VIBRANT PEARL and Radio Star based on their encounter at Pontefract last month. The former had the latter's measure entering the final furlong and was unlucky to be pipped late on. Compensation for that narrow defeat is attainable here. Ziggy's Triton is the pick of the rest with experience, while Right And Exact won't need to anything special to have an impact on his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Vibrant Pearl 2nd Radio Star 3rd Ziggys Triton

Paper Doll showed enough ability during her time in Ireland to suggest she could fit in at this level, while Laudable hinted at a revival with a good second over an inadequate trip at Ayr last month. He can do better with the return to 1m4f very much in his favour. However, this probably won't take much winning and a chance is taken on STELLARMASTERPIECE being up to the task now first-time cheekpieces are added. Already a dual C&D winner, the headgear could be the prompt for further success.
Prediction : 1st Stellarmasterpiece 2nd Paper Doll 3rd Laudable

NOVAMAY remains unexposed and is taken to confirm the promise of her recent second at Wetherby. Beaten less than a length on that occasion, Michael Dods' filly finished clear of the rest and has the scope to rate higher than her current mark. Lima Sierra has a bit to find with the selection on their meeting at Ripon last month, but has subsequently finished closer at the same track. She can feature again, along with Baby Rover.
Prediction : 1st Novamay 2nd Lima Sierra 3rd Baby Rover

Jenni made every yard when returning the emphatic winner at Musselburgh last month. However, she will need to be quickly away from her outside draw, if adopting the same tactics here, and HIGHFIELD SUNSHINE makes more appeal. The daughter of Mehmas found only one too good over course and distance last time and looks on an attractive mark now handicapping for the first time. Crown's Lady and Little Keilee are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Highfield Sunshine 2nd Jenni 3rd Crowns Lady

Zephlyn bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins raised a further 3lb. He narrowly beat the reopposing Cosmic Soul last time, but the latter's stablemate MORANDI SECOND is of more interest on his return to this code. Patrick Neville's six-year-old has twice placed over hurdles since bolting up on soft ground over 1m6f here last autumn, and there looks to be plenty more to come over this longer trip with an apprentice's allowance also helping his cause.
Prediction : 1st Morandi Second 2nd Zephlyn 3rd Cosmic Soul

Runner-up on two of his last three outings, KALGANOV narrowly sets the standard and as long as he handles some cut in the ground, the six-year-old may be able to gain a first success since December 2023. Stepped markedly up in trip after a comfortable win over 5f at Thirsk on Friday, Miss Rainbow is of interest under a 5lb penalty, while Evoluir is next best.
Prediction : 1st Kalganov 2nd Miss Rainbow 3rd Evoluir

This can go the way of RAIN CAP, who has been knocking on the door of late and is on a workable mark. Coconut Bay has strong claims if bouncing back to the form that saw her finish runner-up over 7f at Musselburgh on her penultimate outing, while Sunny Orange is capable of much better than what he has shown on both starts this season.
Prediction : 1st Rain Cap 2nd Coconut Bay 3rd Sunny Orange
