UK Horse Racing Tips: Catterick

MINZELLE was a beaten favourite when third on her racecourse bow at Haydock behind Sea Venture, who wasn't disgraced in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, and the drop to 5f appears to be the right move for Karl Burke's filly. Roots In Touche has to be respected based on her second in the Hilary Needler at Beverley, while Calef and Miss Tuite appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Minzelle 2nd Roots In Touche 3rd Calef

Wen Moon has been knocking on the door with placed efforts at Carlisle and Ripon and is expected to be competitive once again off the same mark. Tees Aggregates' recent form has also been fairly consistent, but the unexposed POLKA appears the one to side with. Julie Camacho's filly caused a surprise when scoring as the outsider of the field at Newcastle in February and an opening figure of 69 looks very workable.
Prediction : 1st Polka 2nd Wen Moon 3rd Tees Aggregates

Rivera Queen wasn't at all disgraced on her first start in a handicap when fourth at Brighton and is likely to step forward from that display. Long Shot drops back to 6f following a brace of solid efforts at Redcar, but this might be the time to catch BATTENBURG BELLE. After three seconds, the booking of Cieren Fallon might just help to make the difference required to see her get off the mark.
Prediction : 1st Battenburg Belle 2nd Rivera Queen 3rd Long Shot

YORKSHIRE QUEEN finished a length and a place behind Homestrait when third at Musselburgh and reopposes on 2lb better terms. With Clifford Lee booked, the daughter of Inns Of Court could overturn that form to strike. Velvet Rhythm has gone off the boil slightly since completing a double at the chief expense of Homestrait over C&D in May and needs to bounce back.
Prediction : 1st Yorkshire Queen 2nd Velvet Rhythm 3rd Homestrait

VALLEY OF FLOWERS ran a lot better than the market suggested she would when taking the silver medal home in a stronger event at Thirsk and is just 1lb higher. This step back up in distance shouldn't pose her any problems and she is the one to beat. Course winner Arrange was well beaten into sixth at Thirsk on her most recent start, but she will find this easier and needs considering. Twilight Safari looks up against it.
Prediction : 1st Valley Of Flowers 2nd Arrange 3rd Twilight Safari

Sanditon won nicely in a classified stakes at Wolverhampton at the start of the month and has to be considered back in handicap company. C&D winner Emerald Army is another to note, but CAPTAIN CESS suffered a troubled passage when a close third at Wetherby on his first outing for Declan Carroll and, if getting a smoother run, he could be the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Captain Cess 2nd Sanditon 3rd Emerald Army
