UK Horse Racing Tips: Cartmel

Dressedforsuccess makes his hurdling debut following a string of comfortable wins chasing. His latest outing at this course saw him well beaten over 2m5f and it's uncertain how he will perform over timber. Therefore, preference is for BRIGHT SUNBIRD, who looks primed for a step up in trip given the nature of her latest run. Zumbi is another to note having scored on his latest outing over this course and distance.
Prediction : 1st Bright Sunbird 2nd Dressedforsuccess 3rd Zumbi

EL BORRACHO recorded an encouraging second over half a furlong shorter at Aintree last month. A further step up in trip could aid his cause, given he previously recorded a double last summer over this trip at Sedgefield and Kelso, albeit over fences. Battle Of Toro is feared on his handicap debut over timber, having recently performed with credit over this course and distance to finish second. Well Planted is another to note.
Prediction : 1st El Borracho 2nd Battle Of Toro 3rd Well Planted

The four-timer seeking JOHNSON'S BLUE defied a 4lb rise to win by seven lengths on his latest outing over 2m7f at Hexham, and a further 7lb rise does not look set to stop him in his tracks. Charlie Uberalles makes the switch back to hurdling following a good win in a chase at Perth last month and is feared, along with Largy G in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Johnsons Blue 2nd Charlie Uberalles 3rd Largy G

POST NO BILLS wasn't done any favours by the winner when runner-up over further here last month. The drop in trip on this occasion is likely to suit and he can get off the mark over fences at just the second attempt. Nefyn Point would be a big player on the form of his penultimate win at Market Rasen, while Glan Y Gors has ground to find with the selection. Captain Cobajay and Rann Of Kutch can also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Post No Bills 2nd Nefyn Point 3rd Glan Y Gors

BRELAN D'AS won with plenty in hand here last month and the step back up in trip looks a good move as he looks to continue his resurgence in form. A disappointment over further at Perth last time out, Exit To Where should be better suited by coming back in trip and he is likely to be thereabouts along with Raecius Felix, who wasn't beaten far over C&D in May.
Prediction : 1st Brelan DAs 2nd Exit To Where 3rd Raecius Felix

DEE STAR arrives in fine fettle having won over course and distance on his penultimate start before returning to finish runner-up here at the end of last month. His rider's 7lb claim will definitely be in his favour and he may prove to be a tough nut to crack. Kiltorcan Boy produced his best effort to date when runner-up over hurdles at this track last time and he is respected on his chasing bow, while Mah Mate Bob may benefit from a change of headgear.
Prediction : 1st Dee Star 2nd Kiltorcan Boy 3rd Mah Mate Bob

MILLIE THE MINX won this contest 12 months ago in comfortable fashion and the mare, who has had a couple of runs on the Flat in recent months, gets the vote to make it back-to-back victories. Simply Red has been running consistently well of late and the filly is likely to be in the mix once again. Fire Lake, who carries a 7lb penalty for her Stratford win, and Redwood Queen appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Millie The Minx 2nd Simply Red 3rd Fire Lake
