UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Narrowly beaten in a bumper at Lingfield last month, ITSINTHENAME has switched yards since. Placed between the flags last year, there is good reason to believe Nick Scholfield's new inmate will improve now hurdling and he gets the nod, with Sean Bowen's presence another positive. Southwell third Myrighthandman could shape well on his second start after wind surgery, while Emerald Time is no forlorn hope if improving his jumping.
Prediction : 1st Itsinthename 2nd Myrighthandman 3rd Emerald Time

A winner at Southwell in November, SECRET VINO was beaten less than a length when upped in trip at Sedgefield last time. He looks worthy of another chance in this company off an unchanged mark. Merry Shuil found only one too good over just short of 2m here recently and Jennie Candlish's mare can make her presence felt if lasting home. Wind Your Neck In posted a better effort at Carlisle and could also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Secret Vino 2nd Merry Shuil 3rd Wind Your Neck In

EL MUCHACHO still had a chance of making the frame when falling at the last here on his latest start. Only 3lb higher than when successful over these fences on New Year's Day, another bold bid is not out of the question if putting in a clear round. Dixie Cowboy returns to a shorter trip with a solid chance having found the extended 2m3f at Sedgefield beyond him. Forcetoreckonwith has place claims.
Prediction : 1st El Muchacho 2nd Dixie Cowboy 3rd Forcetoreckonwith

Bathgate has hit another level over track and trip and is unlikely to be far away in his current vein of form. However, a 7lb hike for his latest victory, as well as a rise in class, demands another career best, which could leave the door open for INTO THE PARK. The seven-year-old wasn't disgraced when finishing third at Taunton and a 2lb drop in the ratings may prove lenient. Inedit D'amour and Medieval Gold are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Into The Park 2nd Bathgate 3rd Inedit Damour

A 2lb nudge up the ratings for IMPATIENT's narrow defeat at Market Rasen looks workable and this slight step up in trip could see him back in the winner's enclosure. The eight-year-old shades the vote over Chasingouttheblues, who should appreciate this ease in class. The hat-trick seeking Paddy O'Mahler and Wincanton runner-up Not A Light add further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Impatient 2nd Chasingouttheblues 3rd Paddy OMahler

Dillarchie followed a second over C&D when finishing a respectable third at Sedgefield earlier this month and she rates as one of the likelier winners. However, it could be worth taking a chance on SMART BUCKS, who may have found his latest sixth at Wetherby coming too soon after a respectable runner-up effort behind a progressive rival at Hereford. It's Maisy and Edgewell could have a say as well.
Prediction : 1st Smart Bucks 2nd Dillarchie 3rd Its Maisy
