UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Having found only a subsequent Grade 2 winner too strong at Ayr in January, ADMIRAL STEWART is unlikely to bump into anything of that class here. Jamie Snowden's gelding is likely to take all of the beating if handling the undulations of this track and he's preferred to recent C&D winner Bel Amigo. The son of Jeu St Eloi boasts plenty of experience and another bold bid is forecast. Supreme George is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Admiral Stewart 2nd Bel Amigo 3rd Supreme George

Captain Ivan relished a step up in distance when scoring over 2m3f at Market Rasen last month and he's dangerous to discount in his current form. However, a 5lb higher mark and drop in trip may scupper the veteran's chances and preference is for RAFFLES WONDER. Rebecca Menzies' inmate has undergone a wind operation since his 10-length romp at Sedgefield in late January and he could make light work of a 6lb rise. Five Dollar Fine also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Raffles Wonder 2nd Captain Ivan 3rd Five Dollar Fine

EMOTIONAL ROLLER lost little in defeat when bumping into a subsequent winner at Wetherby 25 days ago. The introduction of first-time cheekpieces could prove just the trick for the seven-year-old and a second career victory could be imminent. The biggest threat is the hat-trick seeking Red Happy, who boasts a recent C&D triumph, while Busty Boy and One More Stroke are other in-form chasers to consider.
Prediction : 1st Emotional Roller 2nd Red Happy 3rd Busty Boy

YEALAND, who was the beneficiary of a walkover at Haydock on Wednesday, has a good chance of completing a hat-trick if he posts a similar display to the one that saw him justify favouritism off 3lb lower at Newcastle last month. Ganapathi and Half Shot have reasonable claims based on their peak form. However, a bigger danger might be the versatile Sean Og, who had plenty in hand when winning over 3m1f at Catterick latest.
Prediction : 1st Yealand 2nd Sean Og 3rd Ganapathi

DUBAI DAYS represents last year's winning yard and boasts the most convincing recent form with two wins from his last three starts. He could take full advantage of receiving weight all round, though this does represent a step up in class and it would be dangerous to underestimate Credo, who is a previous winner at this level. Does He Know and Cloudy Glen need to find more.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Days 2nd Credo 3rd Does He Know

Follow Charlie is back on a winning mark and is noted given the drop in trip a possible source for improvement. Balranald is another to seriously consider, but it could be worth chancing that TRAFALGAR SQUARE can build on a handful of solid efforts since he switched codes and the four-year-old's younger/fresher legs could be a big advantage against these generally more exposed opponents.
Prediction : 1st Trafalgar Square 2nd Follow Charlie 3rd Balranald
