UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Thecla shaped with promise on her debut and appeals as a likely improver, but MONETIZE shares a similar profile and is narrowly preferred. The daughter of Mohaather displayed signs of inexperience on her racecourse bow but should fare better now, and, with the Bryan Smart yard in flying form, she looks to hold every chance. Thecoffeepoddotco could progress in first-time cheekpieces, while Callisto Dream appeals most of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Monetize 2nd Thecla 3rd Thecoffeepoddotco

The Feminine Urge overcame traffic problems to record a narrow success at Catterick and while a 3lb rise looks fair, she will need prove to herself on forecast slower ground. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on ZADKIEL. The gelded son of Dark Angel showed some ability in maiden/novice events and does not look overburdened by an opening mark of 62. A switch to nurseries should be more suitable, and pedigree suggests he will have no problem with any cut in the ground. Stirrup Cup is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Zadkiel 2nd The Feminine Urge 3rd Stirrup Cup

An open contest in which only a tentative vote can go to MRS TRUMP. Paul Midgley's charge was rewarded for her consistency when on target at Redcar recently and, given she remains competitively treated from 3lb higher, a repeat bid could be on the cards. Sounds Of Spring and The Gay Blade were both able to exploit sliding handicap marks when winning on their latest starts and must enter calculations. Atomise and Asadjumeirah are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Trump 2nd Sounds Of Spring 3rd Atomise

Eldeyaar made every yard of the running to score in convincing style at Wolverhampton six days ago and he holds an obvious chance under his penalty. However, INANNA looks the way to go. Jim Goldie's four-year-old hit the crossbar at Musselburgh and a repeat of that display may be good enough off a 1lb higher rating. Secret Command is another to consider after his third at Beverley.
Prediction : 1st Inanna 2nd Eldeyaar 3rd Secret Command

South Pole sets the standard with a rating of 82 and sports a first-time visor, but his latest fifth at Kempton was a modest effort. With that in mind, it may pay to side with CATCH THE LIGHT, who produced the best performance of her career so far when runner-up at Salisbury in June. With further progress likely, she could be the one to beat. Christian Bruce might take a step forward from her debut sixth at Goodwood and she completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Catch The Light 2nd South Pole 3rd Christian Bruce

A 4lb rise in the ratings for ISLE OF WOLVES' C&D victory last month looks on the lenient side. The veteran scored with something up his sleeve that day and another bold bid is anticipated. The biggest threat may emerge from fellow in-form rival Makalu, who arrives on the back of runner-up efforts at Ripon and Hamilton. Course scorer William Dewhirst is worth a second look dropping in class, while Strongbowe should appreciate the return to a mile.
Prediction : 1st Isle of Wolves 2nd Makalu 3rd William Dewhirst

MYAL's breakthrough victory at Haydock last month has worked out well and he is one to keep the right side of. Steph Hollinshead's three-year-old looks fairly treated off just a 4lb higher mark and appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to follow up. Having only faltered in the closing stages when fifth at Hamilton, Roach Power is dangerous to discount now 4lb below his last winning mark. Hectic and The Amazon are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Myal 2nd Roach Power 3rd Hectic
