UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Mauna Loa shaped with promise when finishing fourth at Thirsk on her racecourse bow and must be taken seriously with improvement in the offing. However, it might pay to side with MISSTERIOUS, with Kevin Ryan's yard beginning to find form with their juveniles. Karl Burke has also enjoyed a fruitful start to the new campaign with his two-year-olds, so Petra Celera must be respected.
Prediction : 1st Missterious 2nd Mauna Loa 3rd Petra Celera

Having finished a good third in the Brocklesby in April, CHARGED UP was desperately unlucky not to win at Beverley later that month. Ollie Pears' charge was repeatedly short of room that day, but given a clear run here he must hold every chance of opening his account. Dawn Charger and Arc Shadowfax merit respect under their penalties, while Night Safari, who disappointed having been well supported ahead of his Redcar debut 10 days ago, might take a step forward.
Prediction : 1st Charged Up 2nd Dawn Charger 3rd Arc Shadowfax

KEEPONBELIEVING was no match for the exciting Covey at Newcastle on her penultimate outing, before going on to finish third on her handicap debut. The daughter of Make Believe is able to compete from an unchanged mark and would not need to step forward much further to open her account. Purple Lady didn't show much across her three qualifying runs but is a potential improver now pitched into handicaps, while recent Bath-scorer Obama Army ought to remain competitive from a 1lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Keeponbelieving 2nd Purple Lady 3rd Obama Army

Therapist was beaten just over four lengths by Infinite Cosmos last time at Newmarket and she sets the standard for the others to aim at. The one fancied to better that level is the James Tate-trained FLYING FRONTIER. The three-year-old shaped with plenty of encouragement on debut at Newcastle over a mile and, with the likelihood of much more to come, he could be the one to beat. Golden Move also warrants plenty of respect after his runner-up effort at Ayr last time.
Prediction : 1st Flying Frontier 2nd Therapist 3rd Golden Move

Detective is an interesting contender after just being denied by a neck over a mile at this track on his latest outing. He has proven competitive over this trip previously, so could get in contention, but NOTIMEFORANOTHER just shades the vote. The four-year-old was third in this grade last time at Musselburgh, which was only his second start in handicap company, and he could be well up to the task off the same mark. Highlighter is another to consider as he tries this trip for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Notimeforanother 2nd Detective 3rd Highlighter

B ASSOCIATES won at Musselburgh last time out and there should be plenty more to come from the son of War Command. He gets the vote ahead of Bernie The Bear and Holloway Girl, who put in a career best when second at Redcar and should be suited by going up in distance. George Lodge (fourth) has ground to find with the selection from Musselburgh but cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st B Associates 2nd Holloway Girl 3rd Bernie The Bear

The Keith Dalgleish stable can do little wrong at present and BELLE OF ANNANDALE must hold every chance if building on a strong runner-up effort at Musselburgh a month ago. The drop in trip is another plus and she can finally get off the mark, with the recent Ayr third Coconut Bay and Billy Bathgate looking best placed to chase her home.
Prediction : 1st Belle Of Annandale 2nd Coconut Bay 3rd Billy Bathgate
