UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Point-to-point winner JOHNNYWHO was sent off favourite for his debut under Rules in a Taunton bumper and made no mistake, sauntering clear to score by over five lengths. The well-related six-year-old can make a victorious start over timber for his powerful connections before going on to better things. Whistle Stop Tour was an impressive 18-length victor at Hexham and won't go down without a fight in his attempt to defy a penalty. Irish raider Moon D'orange could collect minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Johnnywho 2nd Whistle Stop Tour 3rd Moon Dorange

TRELAWNE recorded victories in three of his four hurdling starts, defying a mark of 130 with ease at Uttoxeter in March, which makes him a fascinating recruit to the chasing ranks. Brandy Mcqueen couldn't have done it any easier over an extended 2m7f at Kelso on his fencing bow and has to be considered off a 6lb higher rating, while Conkwell Legend is capable of getting involved as well.
Prediction : 1st Trelawne 2nd Brandy Mcqueen 3rd Conkwell Legend

Noble Affair was only denied by half a length at Hexham last month and she should remain competitive off just 1lb higher, but the drop in distance could work against her. For that reason, the vote goes to MALANGEN, who has struggled most recently but struck in this sort of company at Perth in September off only a 1lb lower rating and he should relish conditions. Gavin has put in some solid displays this year and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Malangen 2nd Noble Affair 3rd Gavin

If Monbeg Genius and 2022 winner Beauport both run at Ascot on Saturday as expected, this may fall the way of MAHLER MISSION, officially the highest rated horse in the field and clear when falling two out in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. He can make the journey over from Ireland worthwhile, assuming a clear round, with the improving Bill Baxter and Ayr Grade 2 second Thunder Rock likeliest to follow him home.
Prediction : 1st Mahler Mission 2nd Bill Baxter 3rd Thunder Rock

Baron De Midleton struck over fences on his first two starts following wind surgery last season, and he races off a lower mark over the smaller obstacles. Carcaci Castle might get involved if he can recapture his better Kelso form at this track, but preference lies with FINGAL'S HILL. The seven-year-old only does enough to win narrowly, making him hard to handicap, and he might make it four in a row if ready to roll after a six-month break.
Prediction : 1st Fingals Hill 2nd Baron De Midleton 3rd Carcaci Castle

Venetia Williams' representatives are always worth a second look here and LASKALIN could be up to defying top weight. The eight-year-old hasn't been sighted since a below-par effort at the Cheltenham Festival, but he's a confirmed mudlover who was produced to score readily on last year's reappearance. Yes Indeed remains well treated on his best French form and has to be considered along with Mario De Pail, who ran well for a long way at Chepstow on his comeback.
Prediction : 1st Laskalin 2nd Yes Indeed 3rd Mario De Pail

The money arrived for Panhandle Slim at Bangor last month and he showed a fair amount of promise in finishing second. It would be no surprise to see him go one better but newcomer MISTER MEGGIT appeals from a profile perspective, not least because of Jonjo O'Neill's fine strike-rate with bumper runners at this track. Point-to-point scorers Askmore and Denemethy would also be interesting if attracting market support.
Prediction : 1st Mister Meggit 2nd Panhandle Slim 3rd Denemethy
