UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

The King's Men has gone the closest from those with previous experience and might well eclipse his promising debut second at Newcastle now switched to turf, while Flight Plan's racecourse bow was an encouraging performance and he can be expected to be a lot wiser this time around. However, it might be worth chancing a small investment on Newmarket raider YEOMAN, whose dam won on soft ground before going on to be placed in a Listed race in Italy. The gelding is an interesting contender for a race such as this and is notably James Fanshawe's only runner on the card.
Prediction : 1st Yeoman 2nd The Kings Men 3rd Flight Plan

OVERRULE finished a respectable fourth on debut at Doncaster 11 days ago and might well have done better had he not lost ground when short of room near the finish. With a step forward, he could be hard to beat here. Opera Legend can also be expected to be sharper after his introduction at Chelmsford last month, even though that form has taken a few knocks since. Campaign Trail completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Overrule 2nd Opera Legend 3rd Campaign Trail

Cantora is a good starting point after a much improved effort to get off the mark at Leicester last week. George Boughey's filly was a comfortable winner that day, but a 6lb penalty makes things a little bit tougher. With that in mind, it can pay to side with EDWINA SHEERAN, who looked progressive with a respectable third on her handicap debut here last month. Her rider's 5lb claim more than compensates for the 1lb nudge up the ratings and she looks well worth another try over this distance. Indication Rocket was just behind the selection in fourth in that encounter and can also be fancied to be on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Edwina Sheeran 2nd Cantora 3rd Indication Rocket

GORDONSTOUN arrives here looking to land his hat-trick after two wins at Leicester over a furlong shorter and the son of Gleneagles is unlikely to have an issue stepping back up in trip. Bashful has his measure on official ratings at these weights but is proving hard to win with, while Divine Connection is capable of being in the mix on his return from a break.
Prediction : 1st Gordonstoun 2nd Bashful 3rd Divine Connection

Give It Some Teddy warrants plenty of respect having won here five times, and the eight-year-old is beginning to look well handicapped for the stable who won this in 2018. He could run in to a place along with Trumble, who found the opposition too strong in a better race at Chester last time out. Both can go well, but KAPONO won very easily on heavy ground over shorter here last month and races here unpenalised, with Jonny Peate's 5lb claim an added bonus.
Prediction : 1st Kapono 2nd Trumble 3rd Give It Some Teddy

Dubai Souq won this last year when sent off favourite, but he has not been at the same level in three starts since, and has 5lb more from the handicapper. The five-year-old can still go well on ground he appreciates more than most, but MILLEBOSC may be the one. He has his first start for the William Haggas stable after coming home last at Chantilly when beaten less than four lengths in a Group 3 contest and the son of Le Havre may outclass his rivals. Eeetee and Scotch Mistress appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Millebosc 2nd Dubai Souq 3rd Eeetee

A determined winner at Doncaster last time out, the admirable RED DEREK can follow up here off a 3lb higher mark. The step back up in trip is another plus, having finished runner-up at Haydock over this distance on his penultimate start. The resurgent Captain Haddock and comfortable Ayr winner Clansman look best placed to chase him home. Others to note include Allemande, Havaila and Sociologist.
Prediction : 1st Red Derek 2nd Captain Haddock 3rd Clansman

A tentative vote goes to PRINCE HECTOR, who has steadily improved since joining new connections and soft ground should be of no concern, having been placed under such conditions in Ireland. Star Of St James is one of the most consistent in this line-up and must be considered along with Dougies Dream, and Little Jo, who is now 8lb below his last winning mark. Do I Dream and Mabre cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Prince Hector 2nd Little Jo 3rd Star Of St James
