UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

Collateral Damage fetched 280,000 euros at the sales in September and merits the utmost respect for a team that typically do well with their youngsters, but experience can win the day for WILBUR. The son of Kingman was far from inexpensive himself when bought for 160,000 euros, and his Newbury introduction was full of promise. A step up in trip is sure to benefit and he is expected to progress. Leave The Bag In heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Wilbur 2nd Collateral Damage 3rd Leave The Bag In

Despite having to shoulder a penalty, a confident vote goes to NURSIA. Kevin Ryan's charge never figured on his debut at Ayr, but he took a big step forward to score at Newcastle in January. The runner-up has since won twice and is now rated 77, so he should be more than capable with that in mind. Two Commanders and Lady Gormire are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Nursia 2nd Two Commanders 3rd Lady Gormire

Powernap has struck the woodwork on her last couple of starts and looks unlikely to remain a maiden for much longer, but she might have to play second-fiddle to BRAIN FREEZE on this occasion. Michael Dods' filly dug in to record a narrow success at Redcar latest and has an excellent chance to follow up from her low berth. Handicap debutant Gwen Tennyson should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Brain Freeze 2nd Powernap 3rd Gwen Tennyson

The lack of a recent run caught up with ISLE OF LISMORE on his reappearance at Haydock. In contention until fading in the closing stages, Robert Cowell's sprinter has slipped to a tempting mark and drops in class with every chance. Equity Law had the measure of Le Beau Garcon (second) when scoring over track and trip last autumn and could bounce back at any time, while Glory Fighter could also be on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Isle Of Lismore 2nd Equity Law 3rd Glory Fighter

SIXPACK won over 1m4f at Doncaster prior to finishing a gallant third, despite losing a shoe, on slower ground at Goodwood. This extra yardage holds no fears for the son of Sea The Moon and he gets another chance with James Owen's string in fine form. Lightning Tiger has more to prove over this far, although his close fourth at Lingfield last time suggests he may prove a bigger danger than Baileys Khelstar.
Prediction : 1st Sixpack 2nd Lightning Tiger 3rd Baileys Khelstar

Tattie Bogle usually runs his race at this level and finished just in front of Habrdi (third) when runner-up at Ayr last month. That pair could make their presence felt once again, but UPPERCASE looks set to run a big race. The son of Showcasing finished a resolute third at Yarmouth last time and the handicapper has taken a chance dropping the unexposed four-year-old 2lb for this. Vince Le Prince is another worthy of respect back at this venue.
Prediction : 1st Uppercase 2nd Tattie Bogle 3rd Habrdi
