UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Emotional Roller was no match for an improving chaser at Sedgefield last week, but still beat the rest fair and square. There will be races in him off this mark, although it might not be this one because WASTHATOK is able to compete off the same figure as when running out an easy victor over hurdles at Newcastle. His one previous attempt at fences didn't go well, but he is more seasoned now. Karavomylos apparently improved for wind surgery to claim second at Fakenham, and Dunworley could be dangerous on his return.
Prediction : 1st Wasthatok 2nd Emotional Roller 3rd Dunworley

Genbu already has plenty of experience and a Wetherby win under his belt, while Turenne was beaten less than six lengths in Listed company on his final appearance in France. They have to concede weight to a couple of interesting newcomers to jumping, though, one of which is EXPLODE, who couldn't justify market support on his first appearance for Faye Bramley but is rated 84 on the level and that gets him the nod. Indian River showed ability in a couple of Irish maidens, form which makes him of considerable interest too.
Prediction : 1st Explode 2nd Indian River 3rd Turenne

Having regained the winning thread on her chase bow at Newcastle, You Some Girl merits respect given her upward trajectory. However, the eight-year-old is 7lb higher than her fourth-placed defeat over the smaller obstacles at Perth in late September and she could be worth taking on. PRINCESSE MILANIA is only 6lb higher than her ready triumph at Wetherby and a hat-trick may beckon, while Heather Honey also makes some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Princesse Milania 2nd Heather Honey 3rd You Some Girl

SILVER HILL should have learned plenty from his fifth-placed hurdling bow at Fontwell and he's entitled to strip fitter for that first appearance after a 264-day layoff. He just gets the nod over penalised Wexford winner Ring Of Kerry, who is likely to have more to offer. Mary Stanford had excuses when pulling up at Perth and has since joined a new yard.
Prediction : 1st Silver Hill 2nd Ring Of Kerry 3rd Mary Stanford

NEIGH BOTHA hasn't looked back since making a winning reappearance at Southwell in early October and a hat-trick could be on the horizon. Although fortunate to be left in the lead at Bangor, a 2lb rise in the weights looks workable and he can confirm form with the reopposing runner-up Sleeping Satellite. The seven-year-old finished nine lengths behind the selection and needs this longer distance to help. C&D winner Master Breffni may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Neigh Botha 2nd Sleeping Satellite 3rd Master Breffni

PEEJAYBEE has been found a very winnable opening as he attempts to supplement his Southwell success. Assertive close home at the Nottinghamshire venue, Mickey Bowen's charge shaped as though there are more races to be won with him, and he might even take a step forward for that first outing since May. Almazhar Garde, like the selection, has won two of his last three starts and heads the list of dangers from Aboutdamntime.
Prediction : 1st Peejaybee 2nd Almazhar Garde 3rd Aboutdamntime

TRIGG represents the in-form Dan Skelton yard and there was a lot to like about the way he went through the field to score on his Worcester debut. He certainly falls under the 'could be anything' bracket and Harry Atkins' 7lb claim negates the penalty incurred for that success. Expect another bold showing, while good cases can be made for Hexham scorer Tony Joe and point-to-point winner Nimba.
Prediction : 1st Trigg 2nd Tony Joe 3rd Nimba
