UK Horse Racing Tips: Cartmel

A game winner over C&D in May, Ubetya can go close off a 6lb higher mark, but the reopposing MARSHALLED is 1lb better off with his rival here for a nose defeat and is fancied to reverse the form of the aforementioned contest. Ben Haslam's inmate has been fairly consistent of late and, despite racing off a career-high mark, looks the one to beat. Quoi De Neuf adds further spice to the race off the same mark following a cosy win at Fakenham last month.
Prediction : 1st Marshalled 2nd Ubetya 3rd Quoi De Neuf

A case can be made for several of these, but Irish raider BANKS BOY gets the vote following a pleasing second at Cork in May. Although he has gone up 11lb for that, there is likely more to come from Gordon Elliott's inmate and the unexposed son of Getaway could benefit from a drop in distance. Castel Gandolfo secured a comfortable success over 2m at Kelso most recently and is feared most now 4lb above that mark, while Fiveonefive completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Banks Boy 2nd Castel Gandolfo 3rd Fiveonefive

This could go the way of the hat-trick seeking LATINO FLING, who has gone up 5lb following a comfortable success over 2m4f at Worcester last month. A rise of the aforementioned amount may not be enough to stop her adding to her tally and she is fancied to get the better of Presenting Pete, who was going well when coming to grief at the last at Southwell most recently. City Derby is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Latino Fling 2nd Presenting Pete 3rd City Derby

CLASSIC LADY has proved a different proposition since making the running and a 7lb penalty for her 11-length romp at Hexham last Sunday may not be enough to prevent Mark Walford's eight-year-old from completing a hat-trick. Strike Of Lighting appears fairly treated on his victory here in May and is feared most off 6lb higher in the ratings, while Shantou Sunset also arrives in good heart and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Classic Lady 2nd Strike Of Lighting 3rd Shantou Sunset

Titanium Moon recorded a double when coasting home at Stratford recently and can't be ruled out in her current form. However, Donald McCain's mare may struggle to concede 9lb to last-time-out winner NEW YEAR HONOURS. The four-year-old justified strong support in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last month and that looks the best form on offer. Hard As Nails makes her hurdling debut on the back of two triumphs in bumpers and shouldn't be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st New Year Honours 2nd Titanium Moon 3rd Hard As Nails

A Mere Bagatelle won with something in hand when recording a first success over the larger obstacles at Kilbeggan last month. Nevertheless, Shark Hanlon's gelding may be worth taking on now racing off a 16lb higher mark on these shores. COPPER FOX shaped better than the beaten distance when weakening into third at Market Rasen in June and this sharper track might see the six-year-old to better effect. The in-form Follow Your Arrow drops in trip and is a viable alternative.
Prediction : 1st Copper Fox 2nd Follow Your Arrow 3rd A Mere Bagatelle
