UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Denied by just a nose in a novices' hurdle at Newcastle last month, DOUBLE DIGITS is the obvious starting point and a repeat of that performance would make the son of Mastercraftsman the one to beat. Kabuki has something to find on a literal reading of the official ratings and was well held on his return from wind surgery at Sedgefield 28 days ago. Therefore, recent point-to-point winner, Kimjoy, rates a bigger danger to the selection now he is back under Rules.
Prediction : 1st Double Digits 2nd Kimjoy 3rd Kabuki

New Invention ran promisingly when introduced in a Newcastle maiden in February and is one to keep an eye on in the betting. Similar comments apply to point-to-point winner Theatre Light, who makes her Rules debut at a realistic level and could have a big say if she adapts to hurdles. Nevertheless, this is probably best left to CAHIER'S DEN, who has filled the runner-up spot in deeper races on his last two starts and has a big chance of going one better this time.
Prediction : 1st Cahiers Den 2nd New Invention 3rd Theatre Light

SEAN OG, who is already a three-time winner over fences, is resilient and this should provide the Dianne Sayer-trained gelding with a sufficient stamina test to draw the best out of him. With Mt Fugi Park (first-time cheekpieces) and Moon Over Mexico (first start after wind surgery) both having something to prove, Finn Lough is the most obvious danger to the selection, despite running off 4lb higher than for his recent handicap win at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Sean Og 2nd Finn Lough 3rd Mt Fugi Park

IMPERIAL JADE arrives at the top of her game. An impressive winner at Doncaster in February, Charlie Longsdon's inmate defied an 8lb hike to follow up at Huntingdon and the hat-trick beckons with the underfoot conditions remaining in her favour. Willaston has eased to an attractive mark and drops in class with a shout, while The Navigator was winning off today's mark last autumn and could bounce back on the forecast good ground.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Jade 2nd Willaston 3rd The Navigator

Revitalised after a short break, POWEROFJET recorded his first success with a convincing win here last month. He looked to have plenty left in the tank and a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor the improving six-year-old. Looking Splendid looked likely to finish in the places when falling at the last at Newcastle and can have a say in the outcome, while Breadalbane Lass ran well for second here in February and could feature again with a similar effort.
Prediction : 1st Powerofjet 2nd Looking Splendid 3rd Breadalbane Lass

SUPER CITIZEN has put together a string of solid enough performances to suggest this drop in class could provide him with a deserved return to winning ways. Martalmix'jac gets 13lb from the selection and is an obvious threat with Tabiath Worsley claiming an additional 3lb from the saddle. Gipsy Lee Rose and Whosmydaddy have course experience to draw upon and it would come as no surprise to see at least the former stage a revival back here.
Prediction : 1st Super Citizen 2nd Martalmixjac 3rd Gipsy Lee Rose

PASSENGERONTHESHIP and Wee Alki have both hinted that their turns are close to hand and appear to be the pair to focus on. At this stage, the former, with his stamina more proven from his point-to-point days, is the more experienced of the pair and could find the requisite improvement now he tackles this sort of trip for the first time under Rules. The latter is still of low-milage and could also develop as a stayer in time. Rob Roy Macgregor and On We Go complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Passengerontheship 2nd Wee Alki 3rd Rob Roy Macgregor
