UK Horse Racing Tips: Cartmel

It might just be worth backing RAINS OF CASTAMERE to give this a good go as he was rated in the 80s on the level at his best. He ran poorly on his debut for this yard on the Flat at Carlisle 16 days ago, but he could go well at a big price back over timber. Saywhatyouwant could be on the premises after wind surgery and Star Vantage is another to consider on his first run over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Rains Of Castamere 2nd Saywhatyouwant 3rd Star Vantage

CATCHMEIFYOUCAN, a previous C&D winner, bounced back to form at Uttoxeter recently when getting his head back in front. A 2lb rise looks manageable for that and he could go close if continuing in that form. Bintheredonethat could be the main danger if building on his victory here last month, while Dalkingstown is another to consider in pursuit of a hat-trick.
Prediction : 1st Catchmeifyoucan 2nd Bintheredonethat 3rd Dalkingstown

Plenty with chances here, but THATBEATSBANAGHER runs off the same mark as when only beaten a head at Sedgefield in April. He's disappointed over fences at Hexham since, but this return to hurdles should hopefully see him bounce back to form. Forever Forward won't be far away if building on his second here in May, while Ange Endormi could still be improving and is another to consider in an open-looking race.
Prediction : 1st Thatbeatsbanagher 2nd Forever Forward 3rd Ange Endormi

Donald McCain has two live chances here in the shape of Zamond and Simply Red. Both finished second on their latest runs and will be looking to go one better here, but they might be fighting for the runner-up spot once again with JACKHAMMER in the field. Dianne Sayer's eight-year-old has been in rude health of late, winning three of his last four starts, including back-to-back successes over timber at Perth.
Prediction : 1st Jackhammer 2nd Simply Red 3rd Zamond

LERMOOS LEGEND won this contest last year off 20lb lower and he arrives here this time around in fine fettle, with the form of his most recent second at Uttoxeter working out well. Dr Sanderson bounced back to form when successful over further here last month and he is likely to be thereabouts again, along with Stratford scorer Sir Tivo.
Prediction : 1st Lermoos Legend 2nd Dr Sanderson 3rd Sir Tivo

LARRY LOOBY is in the form of his life at present and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards for Micky Hammond's gelding. A comfortable winner here last time out, the selection is preferred over Game Line, who hinted at a return to form when runner-up at Worcester, and the consistent Dee Star, narrowly beaten here on Saturday.
Prediction : 1st Larry Looby 2nd Dee Star 3rd Game Line

It is difficult to look past RAPID FLIGHT in this match race, having won three of his last four at this track, including his last two over C&D. The six-year-old has been a revelation since joining the James Moffatt stable and a further 8lb rise for his most recent success looks manageable. All About Joe is not without a chance if bouncing back to the form that saw him win here on his penultimate start.
Prediction : 1st Rapid Flight 2nd All About Joe 3rd null
