UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

The Lucinda Russell stable can do little wrong at present and GIOVINCO must hold every chance after bolting up at Ayr on his Rules debut. A 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him, and he can get the better of Largy Shark, who got off the mark in fine style last November. A winner of three of his last four in point-to-points, Busty Boy cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Giovinco 2nd Largy Shark 3rd Busty Boy

GANDHI MAKER's winning run came to an end behind a well-handicapped sort at Kelso, but the form of his previous wins gives him strong claims here. As long as the progressive seven-year-old handles the ground, he can uphold his latest effort with Travail D'Orfevre (third), while Netywell is a leading player based on the pick of his form. Getaway Luv and Rocco Storm are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Gandhi Maker 2nd Netywell 3rd Travail DOrfevre

This can go the way of SAWPIT SIENNA, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Wincanton earlier in the month. This appears to be a very winnable race on paper and she can see off the attentions of the consistent Esme Shelby, who is still a maiden after 13 starts. Toughasoldboots may be suited by dropping back in trip following creditable efforts the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Sawpit Sienna 2nd Esme Shelby 3rd Toughasoldboots

CAPTAIN QUINT is open to further progression over fences and dropped a hint of future possibilities when running away with a match-race at Ayr 15 days ago. A 3lb higher mark shouldn't be too much of an issue for the seven -year-old and is taken to extend his run of consistent form. Storm Tiger is dangerous to underestimate despite being set to race from out of the weights, while Fever Roque is also considered at this level.
Prediction : 1st Captain Quint 2nd Storm Tiger 3rd Fever Roque

Carrying top weight isn't an insurmountable burden for PIAFF BUBBLES and, given that he's still only lightly raced over hurdles, he could prove to be a step above this lot in due course. The seven-year-old has made good progress since returning from a break last October and a 3lb rise for a near miss at Hexham 10 days ago underestimates him. Shantou Moon, a winner at Kelso on his penultimate start, rates as the main danger, with Sadler's Bay suggested as the best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Piaff Bubbles 2nd Shantou Moon 3rd Sadlers Bay

A 5lb raised mark following a game winner over 3m3f at Sedgefield may not be enough to stop Court At Slip having a say in proceedings here, but the Henry Daly-trained BRETNEY bounced back to form when sporting first-time blinkers at Bangor last month. That choice of headgear has been retained for this outing and he commands respect off 7lb higher. Creative Control and Onestepatatime add further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Bretney 2nd Court At Slip 3rd Creative Control

Cannock Park made a pleasing start when bolting up over 2m in a point-to-point bumper at Alnwick last month and must command respect on his Rules bow. However, FOXWOOD kept on to finish a fair second over an extended 1m7f at Catterick on his racecourse debut and is entitled to go one better here. Rob Roy Macgregor and Reggae De Baune are a pair of newcomers to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Foxwood 2nd Cannock Park 3rd Rob Roy Macgregor
