UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Fortunate Star has posted several creditable efforts in defeat since returning to handicap company and he should give another good account. However, the six-year-old may come up just short once more, with MISS RAINBOW edging the vote. Tracy Waggott's mare arrives on the back of a course third over 6f and a drop back in distance may prove fruitful. Tommy McJohn is also of interest on his stable bow for Adrian Keatley.
Prediction : 1st Miss Rainbow 2nd Fortunate Star 3rd Tommy McJohn

A switch to more aggressive tactics saw ROTOKURA BELLE secure a first turf victory over C&D and she gave the impression that there could be more in the locker. A 3lb nudge up the ratings looks workable and she gets the vote over the returning Soca Star, who ended her juvenile campaign with a respectable third at Wolverhampton and looks feasibly treated reverting to handicap company. Naana's Shadow is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Rotokura Belle 2nd Soca Star 3rd Naanas Shadow

Although worn down in the closing stages at Kempton, CRANACHAN lost little in finishing second. The son of Cracksman should have no issue debuting on turf and compensation could be on the cards. Mythical Valentine was a length behind the selection in third and must enter calculations, although a bigger threat may emerge from Lord, who boasts a Listed hurdle triumph at Aintree in December on his CV.
Prediction : 1st Cranachan 2nd Lord 3rd Mythical Valentine

GOT THE BOOTY stepped forward from her debut when runner-up at Kempton in September and she appeared to improve again, despite being turned over, at Southwell earlier in the month. She sets a clear standard and it would be disappointing if Tom Ward's filly couldn't get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Stella Lucente is the obvious threat based on her pair of runner-up efforts on the all-weather, while Borjina is open to progression after her sole juvenile outing when fourth at Newcastle.
Prediction : 1st Got The Booty 2nd Stella Lucente 3rd Borjina

Evocative Spark (first) got the better of VINCE LE PRINCE (second) here in October and did the same a fortnight ago. However, the handicapper left the runner-up alone and a 4lb swing, along with that being his first run of the season, is reason enough to believe that the form can be reversed. Asian Journey had been running with credit on the all-weather before a solid return to turf at Doncaster, while the veteran Roundhay Park is capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Vince Le Prince 2nd Evocative Spark 3rd Asian Journey

Dorney Lake took a step back in the right direction when third at Southwell and will capitalise on his plummeting rating sooner rather than later. Similar comments apply to Aberama Gold, but a chance is taken on the fitness of ROSENPUR. The six-year-old's last two efforts on turf resulted in minor placings here and although most effective at 5f, he is good enough at this trip. The complexion of this sprint will change if Yorkshire Glory and, to a lesser extent, No Return turn up after Tuesday's Pontefract engagements.
Prediction : 1st Rosenpur 2nd Dorney Lake 3rd Aberama Gold

FREE PIC numbered Stellarmasterpiece and Nakatomi among her victims when making a successful return to turf over a mile and a half here. The five-year-old saw out her race really well so can confirm her superiority over this trip off a 4lb higher mark. Rock Armour made the frame in the second division of that contest a couple of weeks ago but the primary threat might emerge in the shape of Regal Glory, who proved her stamina when runner-up at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Free Pic 2nd Regal Glory 3rd Rock Armour
