UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

The Sam Thomas stable has been in terrific form of late and they could have a smart sort on their hands in the shape of VINCENZO. Runner-up at Chepstow when last seen in April, the five-year-old should be well primed for his hurdles debut and he is preferred to Impatient and Blue Ridge Hill, who was runner-up here on each of his three starts in bumpers.
Prediction : 1st Vincenzo 2nd Impatient 3rd Blue Ridge Hill

This can go the way of MELLIFICENT, who was last seen in a Listed bumper at Market Rasen in February, which has worked out very well since. Jonjo O'Neill's charge is better judged on her penultimate effort at Uttoxeter and the step up in trip looks a big plus on her hurdles bow. Tom Cody is one to note for market support on his first run for new connections, while Tommy Johnson rates best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Mellificent 2nd Tom Cody 3rd Tommy Johnson

READYSTEADYBEAU was getting the hang of things over fences towards the end of last season and he can start this campaign on the right note. A mark of 114 still looks manageable and, with conditions in his favour, he should have too much for chase debutants Jet Legs and Jipcot, as well as Mulberry Hill, who was very unlucky when falling two out at Ludlow when last seen over fences in May.
Prediction : 1st Readysteadybeau 2nd Jipcot 3rd Mulberry Hill

Thereisnodoubt made a perfect seasonal debut when scoring at Perth last month and Lucinda Russell's veteran shouldn't be far away now shouldering 4lb more. However, he may prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival, with GOLDEN GLANCE making most appeal. The four-year-old signed off her last campaign with a respectable seventh in a premier handicap at Cheltenham in April and she merits respect representing a stable in fine form. Gardener and Holly are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Golden Glance 2nd Thereisnodoubt 3rd Gardener

Unbeaten hurdler GIOVINCO looked a smart prospect last season, as seen when capping off a fine campaign with a 12-length romp in a Listed event over hurdles at Perth in April. The six-year-old boasts a pointing background and he may have too much class for these rivals on his chase debut. Alaphilippe was last seen finishing a cracking second in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival 588 days ago and is feared most on his return, ahead of Good Risk At All.
Prediction : 1st Giovinco 2nd Alaphilippe 3rd Good Risk At All

Inis Oirr shouldn't be judged too harshly on his 10th-fence blunder when unseating his rider at Kelso earlier this month, as the six-year-old had jumped with plenty of verve prior to that mishap. The son of Ocovango likely has more to offer in this sphere and isn't taken lightly, but slight preference is for CARLO DU BERLAIS, who should relish this stiffer test of stamina. The Fergal O'Brien-trained gelding can put his experience to good use, with chasing debutant Anti Bridgie of interest too.
Prediction : 1st Carlo Du Berlais 2nd Inis Oirr 3rd Anti Bridgie

A chance is taken on ZWICKY, who won in ready fashion over 2m4f at Sedgefield last time and is taken to follow up. Philip Kirby's charge has been raised 3lb for that success but the six-year-old won more cosily than the winning margin suggests. Rajjamataz is feared most after running well when second over the extended 2m3f at Chepstow in April, while better can be expected of So Many Roads.
Prediction : 1st Zwicky 2nd Rajjamataz 3rd So Many Roads

COOLMOYNE returned from a break in good style last time when only collared late on at Sedgefield, and this looks a decent opportunity to go one better. The first two pulled clear on that occasion and a 2lb rise in the weights could prove lenient. Travail D'Orfevre is also entitled to respect should he return to the track in similar form to his third over C&D in March, while Cudgel makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Coolmoyne 2nd Travail DOrfevre 3rd Cudgel
