UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

DETECTIVE has six course victories, three off higher marks, and could go well again if he takes to a first-time visor with Rhys Elliott good value for his 3lb claim. Hostelry arrives in good form after being beaten half a length at Hamilton and then Chepstow, but an added 2lb may see her settling for a place once again, while Sanditon could also go well on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Detective 2nd Hostelry 3rd Sanditon

Homestrait will have her supporters after winning by a length at Doncaster following a run of seconds, but giving 5lb to DUNKELD DREAMER looks a big ask. Sent off favourite at Beverley last time, she won by two lengths despite being hampered and although upped 7lb for that, she may have more improvement to come. Rawalpindi Express wears first-time cheekpieces for his nursery debut and is worth a market watch.
Prediction : 1st Dunkeld Dreamer 2nd Homestrait 3rd Rawalpindi Express

DAYDREAMA won with authority despite coming from off the pace at Pontefract on his second start and if he continues on an upward curve, the Dream Ahead colt may be good enough to give weight away to these rivals. Mystical Land looks an interesting newcomer with plenty of speed in his pedigree and he may get the better Watchdog for second.
Prediction : 1st Daydreama 2nd Mystical Land 3rd Watchdog

Vibrant Pearl would have a big chance if recapturing the form of her first two starts. However, she was a very disappointing 11/10 favourite at Catterick most recently and has something to prove. As does the well-bred Secret Sonata, who appeals on paper but needs a big step forward from her Nottingham debut. With that in mind, PORTSOKEN looks the way to go, with improvement likely switching to turf after two encouraging efforts on Tapeta at Southwell and Newcastle.
Prediction : 1st Portsoken 2nd Vibrant Pearl 3rd Secret Sonata

BRAVE EMERALD came good with a dogged effort to win at Catterick last month and could be progressive enough to cope with a 5lb rise if the likely quicker ground doesn't cause issues. The well-handicapped We Still Believe seems versatile regarding the underfoot conditions and could be the biggest danger to the selection after a good second at Ayr three weeks ago. Run Of Luck and Jaminoz are other attractive propositions based on recent form.
Prediction : 1st Brave Emerald 2nd We Still Believe 3rd Run Of Luck

Falcon Nine appeals after placed efforts at Musselburgh and Newcastle but he is still a maiden after 25 attempts and his limitations are evident. With that in mind, it could pay to focus more attention on IRV, who has proven to be effective on a stiff track such as this and he has solid credentials off 7lb lower than his last winning mark. Shahnaz is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Irv 2nd Falcon Nine 3rd Shahnaz
