UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

THEME PARK only found a subsequent Group 3 winner/Breeders' Cup second too good on debut and he confirmed that promise when getting off the mark on his second start. The son of Lope De Vega was subsequently sold for 200,000gns and merits the utmost respect on his debut for new connections. Freedom Day showed potential on both starts last year and he should not be underestimated. Others to note are Mahanakhon and Old Smoke.
Prediction : 1st Theme Park 2nd Freedom Day 3rd Mahanakhon

Hurt You Never and Kraken Florida both merit respect having won classified events on the all-weather recently, but marginal preference is for TWO SUMMERS. The daughter of Acclamation won her final start in 2022 at Catterick in October and she should remain competitive off a 3lb higher mark here. Bonito Cavalo and Slainte Mhath are others who are capable of making the frame.
Prediction : 1st Two Summers 2nd Hurt You Never 3rd Kraken Florida

IRELAND'S EYE was only beaten by a couple of lengths over 6f at Southwell a month ago and he merits the utmost respect off a 1lb lower mark here. Zegos Surprise has hit the crossbar twice in classified events in recent months and could make the frame once again, while Hard Solution and Rainbow Rain also merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Irelands Eye 2nd Zegos Surprise 3rd Hard Solution

ZEPHLYN appeared to appreciate a step up in trip when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 2m at Newcastle last month, and he could go one better if able to transfer that form back on the grass. Tiger Spirit, who won over C&D from a 4lb lower mark last year, must enter calculations. Zuckerberg has race fitness on his side following a spell over fences and he should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Zephlyn 2nd Tiger Spirit 3rd Zuckerberg

Gorak won well on soft ground at Doncaster eight days ago and merits the utmost respect under a 5lb penalty, with conditions set to be similar here. However, a chance is taken on ANOTHER BATT, who ran with great credit in some hot contests last season. He's won following a similar break in the past and is now 4lb below his last winning mark if the return to turf can help him rediscover some spark. Others to note include Wobwobwob and The Cookstown Cafu.
Prediction : 1st Another Batt 2nd Gorak 3rd Wobwobwob

BIELSA hasn't tasted success since his win in the Ayr Gold Cup in 2021, but this is arguably his easiest task for a while and he could regain the winning thread from 4lb below that mark. Blind Beggar has been in good form recently and he would hold every chance if replicating his latest Doncaster second, while Rathbone was a creditable sixth in this last year and it would be folly to write him off ahead of his stable debut.
Prediction : 1st Bielsa 2nd Blind Beggar 3rd Rathbone

EDMUND IRONSIDE was consistent in nurseries at the back end of last season, with his final effort seeing him finish second over C&D, and his pedigree suggests he could have more to offer going forward. Camacho Star has the benefit of a recent run under his belt following a second-placed finish at Newcastle last month, while any market support for Concorde would make him of interest.
Prediction : 1st Edmund Ironside 2nd Camacho Star 3rd Concorde

Smile And Pay is turned out quickly before the handicapper gets the chance to reassess him, having finished third behind two well-bred types at Doncaster in a novice event last Sunday. Craig Lidster's gelding warrants respect, despite the fact he was likely flattered on that occasion, but the vote goes to CHEYENNE NATION. Second at Thirsk on Tuesday, he clearly showed improvement from last season and the return to 6f is unlikely to be an inconvenience. Bridge Water and Smooth Red complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Cheyenne Nation 2nd Smile And Pay 3rd Bridge Water
