UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

MISTER SKY BLUE wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D on his latest start and the application of cheekpieces for the first time may give him a vital edge in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Havana Rum's recent efforts earn him a place on the shortlist, while Belsito, who finished behind Richard Fahey's gelding at Hamilton, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mister Sky Blue 2nd Havana Rum 3rd Belsito

Lorna B gained a second career success on her handicap bow at Thirsk and she is expected to be competitive once again, despite a 6lb rise. Thecla's form on turf offers plenty of promise and a mark of 73 seems more than fair, but the vote goes to BRECKENBROUGH. Despite tasting defeat when sent off an odds-on favourite at Chester, the drop in trip appears to be the right move for her to progress.
Prediction : 1st Breckenbrough 2nd Lorna B 3rd Thecla

Jedhi Knight took a step in the right direction when third on his first attempt in handicap company at Redcar and he's noted. Cangofar is likely to be competitive based on his recent displays at Beverley and Pontefract, but NIVELLE'S MAGIC appears to have them all covered. 2lb well-in under a 5lb penalty for her Ffos Las success last week, the six-year-old is expected to be a tough nut to crack.
Prediction : 1st Nivelles Magic 2nd Jedhi Knight 3rd Cangofar

Karl Burke seemingly holds all the aces in this maiden courtesy of newcomer Special Thanks and Hamilton second ASPIRAL. Green leaving the stalls before making up ground at the business end, preference is for experience and the latter edges it. Any money for Special Thanks would be interesting, though, especially given she's the mount of Clifford Lee. If I Could Dream is another expected to go well.
Prediction : 1st Aspiral 2nd Special Thanks 3rd If I Could Dream

EMPIRE POWER is in against the boys here, but she wasn't beaten far behind a potentially nice type of William Haggas' at Pontefract recently and it might be worth giving her one more chance. Comanche Warrior was a beaten favourite at Beverley, but performed well enough here on debut to suggest he could quite easily better that display on the Westwood. Of the Richard Fahey pair, he is just preferred to College Fund.
Prediction : 1st Empire Power 2nd Comanche Warrior 3rd College Fund

A tricky handicap finale for punters to solve and just a tentative vote is for JKR COBBLER. Progressive on the all-weather towards the back end of 2024 and a winner over C&D in May of that year, the six-year-old must have a decent shout providing he can cope with the quick turnaround following Monday's close-up second at Ayr. Keep an eye on Highfield Viking, Mayberry Moon and Keep Warm too.
Prediction : 1st Jkr Cobbler 2nd Highfield Viking 3rd Keep Warm
