UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

Ali Shuffle, Maaleezmagic and Piccalina all have something to recommend them on paper and are notable options for a shortlist. However, SUCKING DIESEL showed up well for a long way in the Brocklesby at Doncaster and is entitled to be a lot wiser with that experience to draw upon. Assuming the daughter of Aclaim handles the stalls procedure a little better, a more accomplished performance can be expected.
Prediction : 1st Sucking Diesel 2nd Ali Shuffle 3rd Maaleezmagic

Being fitted with a visor helped HASHTAGNOTIONS win two of his last four starts on all weather and as he reverts to turf on a workable rating, Richard Fahey's gelding can play another strong role if the application continues to keep him focused. Flamborough Head has also shown enough to suggest he can be a player if handling the step up from 7f to a mile. Groundhog and Keats House complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hashtagnotions 2nd Flamborough Head 3rd Groundhog

PALLAS LORD won the penultimate staging of this race in a gutsy manner and the seven-year-old, who has enjoyed a profitable all-weather season, can repeat the feat despite running off 4lb higher. Admittedly, there are several others who can have a big say, including handicap-debutant Toralou, whose recent second in a novice stakes at Newcastle has a solid appearance. Stratocracy, Roaring Ralph and Ahamoment are other each-way options.
Prediction : 1st Pallas Lord 2nd Toralou 3rd Stratocracy

BAREFOOT WARRIOR chased home a couple of useful rivals home on his debut and is unbeaten in two starts since, the latest of those coming at Newcastle in September. The son of Saxon Warrior has a layoff to overcome but, if ready to roll, an opening mark of 87 looks well within range. Good Morning Alex has gone well fresh previously so is considered, along with the George Boughey-trained Classic Encounter.
Prediction : 1st Barefoot Warrior 2nd Good Morning Alex 3rd Classic Encounter

CONVERGENT was a comfortable winner over a mile here on debut but Karl Burke's colt, who holds an entry in the 2000 Guineas, should be even better now upped in trip and is expected to prove difficult to beat. Debutant Colinski is related to a couple of winners and could pick up some minor money, while Without Burlington should relish a switch to turf.
Prediction : 1st Convergent 2nd Colinski 3rd Without Burlington

LECHUGA LAD finished a creditable third at Wolverhampton last month considering he failed to settle. James Fanshawe's inmate has plenty of scope for improvement having only his second outing in a handicap, and could be bang there at the finish on his turf debut, with an apprentice's 3lb allowance further helping his cause. Titainium ran well for second here last autumn and returns to action with a shout, while Capla Lazarus should be noted making his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Lechuga Lad 2nd Titainium 3rd Capla Lazarus

HAWKESBURY LEGEND came up against a progressive sort when runner-up at Wolverhampton on his handicap bow. This looks less competitive and the son of Nathaniel is fancied to launch a serious challenge off his current mark. Salaria went close over today's distance at Newcastle on her penultimate start and rates a threat if reproducing that effort, while Aurelius Maximus will likely appreciate this extra test of stamina now handicapping and it would be no surprise if he proves competitive.
Prediction : 1st Hawkesbury Legend 2nd Salaria 3rd Aurelius Maximus
