UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

The normally consistent PHOENIX OF DREAMS can be forgiven a substandard effort on the heavy going in a handicap at Chester last time. He'll likely prove a warm order on his return to maiden company and should have little trouble dispatching both of today's opponents if running anywhere near his handicap mark of 77. Sheriff's Call makes a belated reappearance partnered by a 7lb claimer and may prove more of a threat than Kranjcar.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Of Dreams 2nd Sheriffs Call 3rd Kranjcar

DAN TUCKER found the competition too hot in the Listed Two Year Old Trophy here last time. He finished a commendable second to the 88-rated Huscal at Thirsk before that and a repeat effort can see the son of Dandy Man open his account. Native Instinct failed to see out the 7f trip at Thirsk back in August but is not easily dismissed if a subsequent gelding operation helps him to settle, while both Maelstrom and Jungle King should be noted with improvement likely.
Prediction : 1st Dan Tucker 2nd Native Instinct 3rd Maelstrom

THE TRICKSTER conjured up a late rally to make a winning debut over the stiff extended mile at Beverley last month. He will have learned plenty from that experience and is taken to defy a penalty. Novelista was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Pontefract on his latest start, although he can make his presence felt once again. It would be no surprise to see Anglophile post an improved effort on his first start on the turf.
Prediction : 1st The Trickster 2nd Novelista 3rd Anglophile

FAST FRED is unexposed over this trip and, having run creditably when third over C&D most recently, this lightly-raced four-year-old could be tough to beat if building on that effort. Prince Hector has been freshened up since a Wolverhampton disappointment and is feared most. Recorwoman has winning form over this trip and needs a betting check now turned out quickly after a third-placed finish, despite fluffing the start, at Nottingham on Thursday.
Prediction : 1st Fast Fred 2nd Prince Hector 3rd Recorwoman

NO RETREAT, who cost 1.2m euros at the Arqana breeze-up in May of last year, should be hard to beat if he has learned enough from a controversial effort when pipped at the post at Windsor. Greenness cost him that day but a more focused display could see him get off the mark at the third time of asking. Lasting Love has ability but is vulnerable to more progressive types, so perhaps well-bred newcomer Java Raja can give the selection the most to think about.
Prediction : 1st No Retreat 2nd Java Raja 3rd Lasting Love

DEBORA'S DREAM enjoyed an excellent summer, winning at Nottingham and Sandown, and has left Roger Varian since being snapped up for 80,000gns following a solid Ripon third. She can make an immediate return on the investment, with drying ground very much in her favour. In contrast, Titian would prefer more rain but is still capable of throwing down a challenge, while Revich showed more signs of life at Ayr.
Prediction : 1st Deboras Dream 2nd Titian 3rd Revich

Stormy Pearl, Travel Candy and Deputy made the frame at the last meeting here, with the latter pair performing above market expectations. All three have to be taken into account but a safer option might be OSO RAPIDO, who has picked up minor money on his last couple of appearances and had Stormy Pearl well adrift when runner-up at Ripon. King Of The Jungle could also make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Oso Rapido 2nd King Of The Jungle 3rd Stormy Pearl
