UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

REMEMBER THE DAYS has made up into a useful dual-purpose performer and Jedd O'Keeffe's five-year-old is backed to build on his recent Ripon second to play a leading part off a 1lb lower mark. Zihaam was slightly disappointing over this trip when fancied to run well at Beverley last time but the course winner is respected off a fair rating, while Sempre Presto ran well at long odds in a competitive York handicap last month and could have more to come in what looks an easier contest.
Prediction : 1st Remember The Days 2nd Sempre Presto 3rd Zihaam

AMBER STAR has shown snippets of ability on her two outings so far and it would be no surprise if David O'Meara's well-bred Lope De Vega filly takes a leap forward here to play a leading part having performed respectably in a useful Thirsk contest last time. Highcastle enjoyed the drop in trip when third at Chester on his first start for Lisa Williamson and may have more to come for his new handler, while Key Choice and Taaldara could fight it out for the final podium spot.
Prediction : 1st Amber Star 2nd Highcastle 3rd Key Choice

ALABAMA WHITMAN could prove hard to beat following her Albany Stakes fourth at Royal Ascot and Richard Spencer's youngster could thrive on her first try at seven furlongs in what will be a much easier contest. Archie Watson's Secret Passion cost 72,000gns and is a half-sister to Rabiosa Fiore, who was placed in two Listed contests in Italy, while Mark Johnston's Golden Horn filly Tulip Fields is closely related to some top performers.
Prediction : 1st Alabama Whitman 2nd Tulip Fields 3rd Secret Passion

OLIVIA R has been much improved the last twice and can build on her recent Redcar second off a 1lb lower mark having kept on well at the finish on that occasion. Summer Bride should be much more comfortable back down at seven furlongs and is respected, while Ifton's Haydock third looks a strong piece of form and he has a win in him on fast ground providing all the pieces fall into place.
Prediction : 1st Olivia R 2nd Ifton 3rd Summer Bride

ONLY SPOOFING was back to his best when striking at Beverley last weekend and could still have a bit in hand despite a 5lb penalty. Jedd O'Keeffe's charge beat some useful yardsticks there and could have too much pace for the hat-trick seeking Jack The Truth. Spirit Of Wedza is in good form and looks sure to be ridden prominently, while Followthesteps is usually thereabouts in such contests and also warrants a second glance.
Prediction : 1st Only Spoofing 2nd Jack The Truth 3rd Spirit Of Wedza

CAUSTIC LOVE makes plenty of appeal having won her last two at this venue and could claim a hat-trick for Keith Dalgleish. The three-year-old has a further 6lb rise to deal with, but has shown that she handles varying ground conditions and won't be deterred by this drop back in distance. Lady Calcaria scored on heavy ground at this venue off 6lb lower in May, while Kindly needs a market check on stable debut for Mick Easterby following a 258-day absence.
Prediction : 1st Caustic Love 2nd Lady Calcaria 3rd Kindly

ROUND THE ISLAND found himself in a pocket a furlong out when fifth at Pontefract 10 days ago and could strike here now 10lb below his last winning mark. The six-year-old usually reserves his best for the West Yorkshire venue, but is too well treated to ignore and could account for Ninjago, who has rediscovered his form in recent weeks for Paul Midgley. Ghost Buy was third of 17 at Doncaster two weeks ago and could also go close.
Prediction : 1st Round The Island 2nd Ninjago 3rd Ghost Buy

QUEEN OF KALAHARI travelled stylishly before launching her winning challenge at Hamilton four weeks ago and could follow up off just 2lb higher for Les Eyre. Second on three consecutive occasions before that overdue success, it would be a surprise if there wasn't more to come from the four-year-old. The Bull looked an unlucky loser when finding one too good in Scotland last time and is respected, while recent C&D scorer Tarnhelm is another who could be involved given that she hasn't been penalised for that effort.
Prediction : 1st Queen Of Kalahari 2nd The Bull 3rd Tarnhelm
