UK Horse Racing Tips: Cartmel

PITTSBURG arrives here on the back of two wins earlier in the month and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those efforts may not be enough to stop him here. Arbennig is another recent winner that is likely to go very well in a race of this nature, while We'll Go Again and King Of Quinta are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Pittsburg 2nd Arbennig 3rd Well Go Again

LANDOFSMILES bounced back to form when accounting for a useful field over 3m2f at Uttoxeter a month ago and Peter Bowen's gelding merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark here. Jony Max has made the frame on his last couple of starts and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Bodhisattva and Tommie Beau.
Prediction : 1st Landofsmiles 2nd Jony Max 3rd Bodhisattva

Jelski has to be respected in his bid for a hat-trick but a 3lb rise for his most recent win will make life tougher for the nine-year-old. With that in mind, preference is for MARSHALLED, who failed to fire last time but is a big player based on his narrow defeat over C&D two starts ago. Others to note are Sword Of Fate and Lermoos Legend.
Prediction : 1st Marshalled 2nd Jelski 3rd Sword Of Fate

Gifted Angel merits respect under a penalty for his recent Stratford success, but MAJESTIC JAMEELA, who receives 14lb from the former, is preferred. Stuart Edmunds' filly has run with credit on both of her starts over timber and any further improvement could see the daughter of Postponed get off the mark. Hooded ahead of his hurdling debut, market support would have to bring Balboa into the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Majestic Jameela 2nd Gifted Angel 3rd Balboa

MY GIFT TO YOU made an immediate impact when switched to handicaps last month. A comfortable hurdles winner at Southwell, he went on to strike over fences next time out and James Owen's progressive five-year-old looks well placed to bring up his hat-trick now back over timber. Coal Fire and Prince Nino must enter calculations following their recent victories, while Camilla's Choice and Sir Canford are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st My Gift To You 2nd Coal Fire 3rd Prince Nino

BLENDED STEALTH made a highly encouraging first start for the Lizzie Quinlan stable when he managed to hit the frame at Uttoxeter over 2m4f and the son of Walk In The Park now goes in a first-time tongue-tie, which could eke out the improvement needed to score now back up in trip. Last-time-out victor Unwanted Attention is a live threat after he accounted for his nearest rival by a length and he should go well off a 5lb higher mark. Any market support for Tip Top Tonto on his handicap bow would be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Blended Stealth 2nd Unwanted Attention 3rd Tip Top Tonto

SHANTOU SUNSET just missed out by a short head in a fierce battle to the line over an extended 3m1f around here last time and despite being raised 3lb for that effort, the nine-year-old can cope with the drop back in distance to score on only her second start for the James Moffatt yard. Jumping Susie makes her handicap bow after hitting the crossbar on both of her outings this year and she could get involved off what looks a workable opening mark of 108. Belles Benefit returns from a layoff but could prove the pick of the remainder if fully wound up for her reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Shantou Sunset 2nd Jumping Susie 3rd Belles Benefit
