UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Hawthorn Street arguably took a step backwards when fourth at Windsor last month, but it's way too soon to write off the point-to-point winner. Frisby is of interest on his first start for the Ben Haslam stable, but the vote goes to SOLID PERFORMER. Donald McCain's gelding made the frame over an extended 2m4f at Ayr on his latest outing and this step up in distance might bring out the improvement required to strike.
Prediction : 1st Solid Performer 2nd Hawthorn Street 3rd Frisby

The eye is immediately drawn to Florita after readily making it two wins from her last three appearances at Market Rasen earlier in the month, but she will need prove as effective over this longer trip. With that in mind, ASA gets the vote. The seven-year-old finished a close-up third over the smaller obstacles at Wetherby latest and can repeat last year's success. Overabottleofred sports a first-time tongue-tie and is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Asa 2nd Florita 3rd Overabottleofred

KINGSTON NARCISSUS benefitted from the application of a tongue-tie when scoring by just under three lengths in this grade at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. This is just his fifth start in a handicap and the seven-year-old could have a lot more to offer. Born In The West and Bathgate both won on their most recent outings, but the main danger might be Forest Blaze after his runner-up effort at Wetherby.
Prediction : 1st Kingston Narcissus 2nd Forest Blaze 3rd Born In The West

IMPERIAL BEDE showed up well at Haydock before fading in the closing stages on his first outing for over a year. That run should have blown any cobwebs away and, given his only win over fences so far came on heavy ground, these conditions will suit the eight-year-old. Onesoc is 10lb higher than when successful in this contest last year, although he won with plenty left in the tank and could still feature, as could the recent C&D winner El Muchacho.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Bede 2nd Onesoc 3rd El Muchacho

VOODOO ANGEL failed to prevent the progressive Kazar Forez from landing a hat-trick when runner-up over C&D last time. Donald McCain's charge looks to face an easier assignment on this occasion and she gets another chance to open her account. Vanilla Dancer ran her best race for some time when narrowly beaten over a longer trip at Doncaster. She could prove the main threat on that form, ahead of Adaay Dancing.
Prediction : 1st Voodoo Angel 2nd Vanilla Dancer 3rd Adaay Dancing

Last year's winner HAARAR arrives at the top of his game. The seven-year-old is penalised for his recent victory at Carlisle, but Sam England's charge looks worth sticking with in his current mood given the ease of that success. Three Dons has plenty of scope for improvement on his handicap debut over timber, while top-weight Demoiselle Kap will have likely come on for last month's reappearance at Ludlow and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Haarar 2nd Three Dons 3rd Demoiselle Kap
