UK Horse Racing Tips: Cartmel

Formerly a capable sort on the Flat for Jessica Harrington, IRISH LULLABY improved from first to second start over hurdles when scoring comfortably at Warwick earlier in the month. The five-year-old should be able to handle a 7lb penalty, and she gets the vote ahead of Spit Spot, who has finished second on three of her last five starts. Disco Annie is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Irish Lullaby 2nd Spit Spot 3rd Disco Annie

An eye-catching second on his first run for new connections at Kilbeggan recently, LISNAMULT LAD looks to have been laid out for this contest and a further rise in distance should suit the son of Court Cave. Take No Chances has an 8lb rise to overcome for a taking success at Uttoxeter, while El Jefe steps markedly up in trip after success in a valuable handicap at Aintree.
Prediction : 1st Lisnamult Lad 2nd Take No Chances 3rd El Jefe

This can go the way of MILL GREEN, who shaped encouragingly over the smaller obstacles at Exeter on his penultimate start and may be suited by this extreme distance going back over fences. Nicky Henderon's charge may have too much for Welsh Saint, who ran his best race for some time when second at Downpatrick latest. Punitive is a player based on the pick of his form too.
Prediction : 1st Mill Green 2nd Welsh Saint 3rd Punitive

There was plenty to like about BOOMBAWN's chase bow when scoring a shade cosily at Warwick earlier this month. The gelded son of Dylan Thomas enters handicaps in this sphere off what looks a workable mark and he's taken to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from recent Kempton runner-up Onemorefortheroad, who races off 3lb lower in the ratings. C&D scorer Al Zaraqaan is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Boombawn 2nd Onemorefortheroad 3rd Al Zaraqaan

A creditable third at Ffos Las last month, LINE OF DESCENT looks ready to return to the winner's enclosure. The Warren Greatrex-trained gelding has tasted success at this course in the past and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Fellow track scorer Arthur's Quay could also get competitive dropping in class and isn't taken lightly, while chase debutant Will Carver may improve for going over a fence.
Prediction : 1st Line Of Descent 2nd Arthurs Quay 3rd Will Carver

A dual winner between the flags, GREAT COLEWOOD made a promising debut over regulation fences when fifth at Chepstow last month. This shorter trip should suit and a bold bid is expected. Ultra Viers has bits of form under Rules and could be in the mix, while the likes of Bellaney Lord, Buy Some Time, Willewonga and the unexposed Unexpected Edge have all been in winning form in point-to-points recently.
Prediction : 1st Great Colewood 2nd Unexpected Edge 3rd Bellaney Lord

Show No Fear is a recent winner on the Flat looking for a first success over hurdles, while Hobb's Delight has won two of his last three starts and should be in the mix once again. Attitash travels over from Ireland with a shout, though SEAN OG may prove the one to side with back over the smaller obstacles following his runner-up effort in a chase at Sedgefield earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Sean Og 2nd Hobbs Delight 3rd Attitash
