UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Trainer Stuart Crawford landed this contest last year and he ran repeat the feat with the returning GOLD CUP BAILLY, who was last seen finishing down the field in a valuable handicap chase on Aintree Grand National day last year. Going back over hurdles should not inconvenience the son of Turgeon and he is preferred to The Big Jetaway and Milcree, who should be suited by the step up in trip, having stayed on to go very close over 2m1f at Newcastle last month.
Prediction : 1st Gold Cup Bailly 2nd Milcree 3rd The Big Jetaway

Now that TRAC has regained the winning thread with a taking performance at Newcastle last month, there should be plenty more to come from Micky Hammond's charge and a 7lb rise in the weights may not be enough to halt him here. Netywell arrives on a four-timer but will find life tougher off a career-high mark, while Travail D'Orfevre (second) has six lengths to make up with him from their recent clash at Ayr but the latter enjoys a huge swing in the weights with that rival today.
Prediction : 1st Trac 2nd Netywell 3rd Travail DOrfevre

A winner of two of his last three starts here and an impressive winner at Newcastle on his latest outing, HELLO JUDGE continues to improve and a 7lb rise for that latest victory may still underestimate him. Jet Legs won over further here on his penultimate start and could be suited by dropping markedly in trip, whereas Carrigeen Castle arrives on the back of an easy success at Wetherby for which he has been raised a hefty 10lb. Others to note include Coolkill, Deep Charm and William Of York.
Prediction : 1st Hello Judge 2nd Carrigeen Castle 3rd Jet Legs

Heritier De Sivola completed his hat-trick when repelling the challenge of a game Camp Belan (second) at Hexham 16 days ago and both must enter calculations today, but WHOSMYDADDY shades preference. Sandy Thomson's gelding has made a seamless transition to the larger obstacles, winning both starts with relative ease, and a 7lb rise for the latest of those might not be enough to stop him. Others to note include Breeze Of Wind and O'Connell.
Prediction : 1st Whosmydaddy 2nd Heritier De Sivola 3rd Camp Belan

Two For Gold posted a much-improved effort when filling the runner-up spot in a first-time tongue-tie at Ascot a fortnight ago and, though he merits respect from 2lb higher, genuine heavy ground might not be what the veteran wants nowadays. With that in mind, ASK ME EARLY, who struggled in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter having bolted up over 3m at Exeter on his previous start, might be the answer now eased in trip. Omar Maretti can chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Ask Me Early 2nd Two For Gold 3rd Omar Maretti

Having been on target at Uttoxeter on his racecourse bow, Gamesters Guy was far from disgraced under a penalty at Aintree next time. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's charge ought to be on the premises once again, but in receipt of 7lb, HELSGETAWAY might prove too strong. The son of Getaway was only denied by half a length when runner-up at Newcastle in December and this represents a fine opportunity to go one better. Any market support should be noted for the Nicky Richards-trained Robby ahead of his debut.
Prediction : 1st Helsgetaway 2nd Gamesters Guy 3rd Robby
