UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

BRAVE EMPIRE displayed a willing attitude when holding on to triumph at Windsor earlier in the month and a similar level of performance may be enough to shrug off a 7lb penalty in this contest. Indivar offered plenty of encouragement when runner-up on his recent debut at Ayr and the David O'Meara-trained colt isn't taken lightly. Karl Burke introduces two interesting newcomers in Destiny Maker and Dark Encounter, with the market likely to guide.
Prediction : 1st Brave Empire 2nd Indivar 3rd Destiny Maker

MIRRIE DANCERS proved a different proposition when gaining a breakthrough success on his stable debut at Wetherby earlier in the month and the five-year-old won with enough authority on that occasion to believe that a 4lb rise won't prevent him from going in again. Pound Off You chases a hat-trick in this sphere and looks the obvious threat, ahead of Marbuzet, who returned to form when staying on into third at Leicester last time.
Prediction : 1st Mirrie Dancers 2nd Pound Off You 3rd Marbuzet

ZAFAAN found the combination of a switch to turf and drop in class to his liking when recording a first career success at Doncaster last month and is hard to oppose off only 2lb higher in the ratings. Jazz Samba arrives in good heart and may emerge as the chief threat now returned to a mile. Hidden Code also looks capable of landing a race of this nature off his current mark and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Zafaan 2nd Jazz Samba 3rd Hidden Code

Alethiometer gained a first success of the season when winning a small-field affair at Ayr earlier in the month. A 6lb rise, however, may be enough to prevent Michael Dods' filly from completing a double, with GIOIA CIECA making slightly more appeal. The five-year-old returned to form when runner-up at Musselburgh three weeks ago and he looks capable of defying a 3lb nudge in the ratings. Hickory and Woven shouldn't be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Gioia Cieca 2nd Alethiometer 3rd Hickory

It was hard not to have been impressed by the manner of Match Play's recent Haydock win but a 7lb rise may leave him vulnerable. Zuffolo, who won well over C&D (6lb lower mark) before not appearing to act at Epsom next time, is one alternative, but Newmarket raider RUSSET GOLD may throw up better value. Roger Varian's chestnut got no sort of run when attracting market support on his reappearance in the Dash at Epsom and he remains feasibly treated if able to reproduce the sort of sparkle which saw him streak home in a Pontefract novice event last summer.
Prediction : 1st Russet Gold 2nd Zuffolo 3rd Match Play

Hard to rule anything out of this with confidence, including the filly Boniato, who was a victim of interference when keeping on at Catterick on her debut. Sidney's Son probably sets the overall form standard, but this drop back in trip may not be ideal which could leave him vulnerable to Grant Tuer's improving ROOSKA, who wasn't far off over this course and distance on his second start last month.
Prediction : 1st Rooska 2nd Sidneys Son 3rd Boniato

A wide-open finale in which a decent case could be made for giving another chance to AURORA GLORY, who was backed to open her account at Beverley last time. The stiff 7f found her out on that occasion, but she'd earlier finished a solid runner-up over this trip at Ripon and her present mark remains exploitable. Bryce showed improvement when third at Wetherby last time and remains one to be interested in, whilst any market move for handicap debutant Senate Queen could be significant with Graham Lee taking over in the plate.
Prediction : 1st Aurora Glory 2nd Bryce 3rd Senate Queen
