UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

FUNKY TOWN PINKIE returned from a break to finish second at Nottingham at the end of last month and the four-year-old, who remains unexposed on turf, has been found an excellent opportunity to go one better. Marbuzet has finished runner-up on his last three starts and is expected to be competitive once again, while Turner Girl is capable of going close following her second at Catterick.
Prediction : 1st Funky Town Pinkie 2nd Marbuzet 3rd Turner Girl

KNEWONE appears to be the standout contender on paper, with his dam an unraced half-sister to a Group 2 juvenile winner, and the booking of Oisin Murphy is another notable positive. Haya Taal may have finished closer at Newbury but for being hampered in the closing stages and the return to 7f is likely to be in his favour, while others to note include Consoling and Havana Sky.
Prediction : 1st Knewone 2nd Haya Taal 3rd Consoling

CLIMATE CHANGE stepped forward when third on his handicap bow at Southwell in February and Julie Camacho's gelding makes plenty of appeal on his turf debut. Fortuitous Star has run with credit on both starts this season, finishing third at Newcastle and Ripon, which gives her every chance of another decent showing. Slippin Jimmy, Nightout and Highfield Viking appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Climate Change 2nd Fortuitous Star 3rd Slippin Jimmy

Violets Star was allowed to start at 150/1 on her Thirsk debut, but outran her odds to be beaten less than a length into second. If she improves for the run she could be a force to be reckoned with here, yet SIDNEY'S SON is narrowly preferred. A six-race maiden, he has been running on over six furlongs and weakening late over the seven he faces here, but this flat track may well see him at his best. Chico Dulce showed some promise at Newcastle and he could be the one for third.
Prediction : 1st Sidneys Son 2nd Violets Star 3rd Chico Dulce

Greycious Anna ran on well over a furlong shorter at Catterick last time and is well worth another try at the mile, but if top-weight DORA MILAJE can set her own pace at the head of affairs, she may win for the third time on only her fourth start. Bear On The Loose might do a lot better returning to this trip after fading rapidly over further, while Five Towns sports a tongue-tie and could also get into the mix.
Prediction : 1st Dora Milaje 2nd Greycious Anna 3rd Bear On The Loose

Tim Easterby won this in 2018 with a three-year-old and lightning may strike twice with RIBKANA in 2023. She was headed close home when second over a furlong further at Beverley last time out and, if she can be held up and produced late on, she may go one better. Quoteline Direct has been running well without winning on the all-weather recently and he could go well, though Calcutta Dream might make it an Easterby family one-two if he can get away on level terms.
Prediction : 1st Ribkana 2nd Calcutta Dream 3rd Quoteline Direct

Narrowly denied over further at Nottingham last time out, IRV can gain compensation on this occasion off a mark that is 1lb lower than his last victory. The seven-year-old may just have too much for easy Salisbury winner Portoro, who is bound to find life much tougher off a 13lb higher perch. The relatively consistent Star Of St James and Codswallop are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Irv 2nd Portoro 3rd Star Of St James
