UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Now that FIDDLERS GREEN has regained the winning thread with a determined performance at Kempton last week, the six-year-old should have no issue with going back up in trip and he can notch up a fifth career victory. Runner-up on each of his last three starts, all as favourite, Made All is expected to be thereabouts again. Stellarmasterpiece has strong claims on last month's success over C&D.
Prediction : 1st Fiddlers Green 2nd Made All 3rd Stellarmasterpiece

Narrowly denied on her nursery debut over 5f here last week, GILLALI LASS has the potential to improve for going up in trip and she can break the maiden off the same rating. Shetakesthegold produced a career best on her return from a short break when second at Lingfield and she is of interest, along with Maasai Mata, who could be off a reasonable mark on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Gillali Lass 2nd Shetakesthegold 3rd Maasai Mata

Fresh off Group 1 success at the weekend, the Richard Hughes stable is in top form and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for ROSE OF SPAIN to get off the mark following a second on debut at Wolverhampton. A taking winner first time out at Redcar before finishing down the field in the Queen Mary, Miss Yechance should appreciate this drop in class. Havin A Flyer is another open to improvement following a creditable third at Musselburgh.
Prediction : 1st Rose Of Spain 2nd Miss Yechance 3rd Havin A Flyer

Equally effective on turf as he is on the all-weather, HERAKLES has a big chance of backing up his game win at Newcastle last month. A 4lb higher rating is manageable and the top-weight looks the way to go. Irish Dancer, a C&D winner under Zak Wheatley in May, has held his form well and can play a big part with the 3lb claimer back in the saddle. Mrs Bagerran and Masterclass are other notable contenders.
Prediction : 1st Herakles 2nd Irish Dancer 3rd Mrs Bagerran

WHEELS OF FIRE looks a key player and the Richard Hannon-trained colt has a decent chance of making the journey up from his Wiltshire base worthwhile. A respectable third at Goodwood most recently, the son of Mehmas is well worth another try over 6f, having been dropped 1lb. The in-form Ancient Times is another must for consideration as he runs off just 2lb higher than for a C&D triumph on his penultimate start. Chuti Manika also merits a betting check.
Prediction : 1st Wheels Of Fire 2nd Ancient Times 3rd Chuti Manika

FINBAR'S LAD justified favouritism with a ready success at Chelmsford and could be hard to deal with from just 4lb higher. Bellarchi has winning form over this trip and can get competitive from a potentially lenient current rating. Ed Bethell sent out the winner of this race last year and his still-unexposed Native Instinct, who gets a 7lb weight-for-age allowance, is another who could have a big say.
Prediction : 1st Finbars Lad 2nd Bellarchi 3rd Native Instinct
