UK Horse Racing Tips: Cartmel

COME ON DU BERLAIS, who won a bumper at Ayr last May, ran three good races in defeat over hurdles for Gordon Elliott during her time in Ireland and, given this looks a little easier than some of those events, she rates a prime candidate to come out on top today. She debuts for an in-form yard and, with the trip and ground to suit, another bold showing is expected. Titanium Moon and recent Stratford winner Forever A Dove appeal most from the rest.
Prediction : 1st Come On Du Berlais 2nd Titanium Moon 3rd Forever A Dove

Having proven his stamina and effectiveness on ground similar to what is forecast today, SCRUM DIDDLY is a key player in his bid for a quick-fire hat-trick. The Oliver Sherwood-trained gelding got off the mark over hurdles in good style when upped to 3m at Ludlow 15 days ago, before following up in a bloodless manner at Ffos Las last week. The fitting of cheekpieces (retained) has aided his cause and more success could be imminent. Mr Yeats and I Spy A Diva look the pick of the opposition.
Prediction : 1st Scrum Diddly 2nd Mr Yeats 3rd I Spy A Diva

DUC DE BEAUCHENE is on a roll after following up last month's Wincanton success with a commanding performance to get up late and win the Norfolk National at Fakenham 20 days ago. A 4lb higher mark looks lenient in the context of this race and David Pipe's long-distance traveller looks the one to be on here. Stylish Moment is another last-time-out winner who is respected, even though he needs another personal best off 7lb higher. Chirico Vallis and Dee Star complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Duc De Beauchene 2nd Stylish Moment 3rd Chirico Vallis

AND THE NEW made all to bolt up by 18 lengths over 2m3f at Market Rasen in a class 4 event earlier in the month and he now carries 7lb extra, which is highly unlikely to stop him on that evidence and the veteran can cope with the step back in distance to make it a double. The main threat might be Whodini, who was also an impressive victor last time by seven lengths at Ayr and he is likely to be on the premises again, despite a 6lb rise. Return Ticket makes the most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st And The New 2nd Whodini 3rd Return Ticket

MARSHALLED has improved with every appearance since joining the Ben Haslam team and got back on the scoresheet at Newcastle recently. He showed good determination to go in then and is taken to defy a 6lb rise. De Barley Basket will be fresh from a break and has a good strike-rate over fences. He has to be considered a big threat, with Gaelik Coast possibly the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Marshalled 2nd De Barley Basket 3rd Gaelik Coast

SO BE IT seemed to throw away his race when idling badly on the run in and getting touched off by a short head at Perth last time out, and he is taken to gain compensation on this occasion. The seven-year-old can get off the mark at the 10th time of asking, with Walkin Out looking best placed to chase him home, along with point-to-point winner The Creadan Rogue.
Prediction : 1st So Be It 2nd Walkin Out 3rd The Creadan Rogue

A promising runner-up on his handicap debut at Ffos Las, KARAVOMYLOS must hold every chance if building upon that effort for his in-form connections. The drop in trip is another plus as he looks to see off the likes of Benito and Colonel Manderson, who looked as though he was going to finish second when unseating his rider at the last at Perth.
Prediction : 1st Karavomylos 2nd Colonel Manderson 3rd Benito
