UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

A chance can be taken on ORDER OF MALTA, who was running on well late over an extended 1m2f at Chester earlier this month. Hugo Palmer's charge has better draw here and a 2lb drop in the ratings looks exploitable after that near two-length defeat. Bearaway looks the biggest danger after being narrowly beaten at Ayr last time and a 1lb rise doesn't appear out of his reach, while Jewel Maker heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Order Of Malta 2nd Bearaway 3rd Jewel Maker

JUNGLE DRUMS ran well when second in Listed company over 6f at Newbury last time and dropped back into these calmer waters, he should take all the beating. Karl Burke does well with his two-years-olds and this appears to be an ideal stepping stone before some bigger targets later on in the campaign. Debutant Sweet Cicely is fancied to pose the biggest threat to the selection, while Mister Sky Blue should benefit for this extra yardage.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Drums 2nd Sweet Cicely 3rd Mister Sky Blue

The hat-trick seeking ZOZIMUS makes most appeal following two wins at Pontefract and he should be difficult to stop. David O'Meara's charge won in decisive fashion on his latest outing and a 5lb penalty doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Carnival Zain arrives here 13lb below his last winning mark and he should not be discounted, while Empire Of Light could also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Zozimus 2nd Carnival Zain 3rd Empire Of Light

A comfortable winner over 2m at Musselburgh on his penultimate start, KNIGHTS AFFAIR wasn't suited by dropping back in trip on his latest outing at Catterick, although he did well not to be beaten far into fourth. Going back up in distance is a big plus, with Achnamara looking best placed to chase him home, having scored on two of his last three starts. A capable sort on his day, Marbuzet can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Knights Affair 2nd Achnamara 3rd Marbuzet

Turned out again quickly after a game performance to land the Grey Horse Handicap at Newmarket last week, ARCHDUKE FERDINAND looks more than capable of following up off a 3lb higher mark. Only worn down late on when second over C&D last month, Soul Singer looks to be the main danger, along with Novello Lad, who was short of room at a crucial stage when attempting to land the double at Thirsk recently. Others to note include Heroism, Kitaab and Marie's Secret.
Prediction : 1st Archduke Ferdinand 2nd Soul Singer 3rd Novello Lad

ATOMISE finished five lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar at Ayr earlier in the month and is only 3lb higher for that performance. Michael Dods' five-year-old sports a first-time visor and may only need to reproduce that effort in order to go one better. Wrath Of Hector struck in commanding fashion at Yarmouth on his latest outing and holds an obvious chance off 4lb higher, while Barnaby can pick up any pieces.
Prediction : 1st Atomise 2nd Wrath Of Hector 3rd Barnaby

Pink Stripes produced a better effort to make the frame in a classified event at Wolverhampton last time and is an interesting contender back on turf in handicap company. However, the vote goes to KYBER CRYSTAL, who wasn't disgraced in third over 5f at Hamilton last month and has since undergone wind surgery. Hard Solution and Mrs Trump are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Kyber Crystal 2nd Pink Stripes 3rd Hard Solution
