UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

MIGHTY MAGNUS improves with every start and took another step forward when making every yard at Ayr last time. The son of Dark Angel looks on a workable mark for this nursery debut and can continue his good progress. Pontefract runner-up Valor Spirit steps up in trip on his first start in this sphere, and will likely prove competitive with Warren Fentiman's 5lb allowance in his favour, while Dacres Cross could also shape well off the back of his third at York.
Prediction : 1st Mighty Magnus 2nd Valor Spirit 3rd Dacres Cross

SIMPLY BLUE has eased to an attractive mark and finished a solid third behind the progressive Twirler at Epsom last time. David Loughnane's son of Blue Point looks set to open his account on that evidence and is marginally preferred to Cargin Bhui. The latter is another potentially well treated and a recent placed effort at Doncaster suggests he could land a blow, while Glory Hyde also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Simply Blue 2nd Cargin Bhui 3rd Glory Hyde

ALNAYEF bounced back to form when finishing a resolute second at over 1m5f at Hamilton recently. Doing his best work in the closing stages, this extra furlong could see Jim Goldie's charge off the mark. Paper Doll drops in distance with a shout based on last month's cosy victory at Pontefract on her penultimate start, while Marbuzet is mostly consistent and could make his presence felt back on today's faster ground.
Prediction : 1st Alnayef 2nd Paper Doll 3rd Marbuzet

Ice Sovereigns is the only runner here with placed form after finishing third on heavy ground at Goodwood in late July, but she was beaten five lengths at the line. ELEGANT JO JO is an interesting newcomer for Karl Burke and if the market speaks in her favour, she might have been found a suitable opportunity to make a winning debut. Resdev Time was never involved at Pontefract but is bred to be far better over this distance.
Prediction : 1st Elegant Jo Jo 2nd Ice Sovereigns 3rd Resdev Time

HARRY PALMER made all the running to come home unchallenged at Thirsk last month, and he has been put up a punitive 6lb for that there is every chance the same tactics could be rewarded. Gorgeous Mr George has been a revelation since being step up to this trip, winning both starts at Yarmouth fairly comfortably, but he has also been put up 6lb and he may have to settle for a place. Toota appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Harry Palmer 2nd Gorgeous Mr George 3rd Toota

Top-weight Jesmond Dawn finished second in a better race off 1lb higher in July and, although beaten twice since, he has every chance of another bold showing here. Runninsonofagun has placed form in Ireland off higher marks and is another to consider, but HOMELAND gets the vote. A winner over further by a neck at Ripon, he has only been put up 1lb for that and should have no issue with dropping back in trip.
Prediction : 1st Homeland 2nd Jesmond Dawn 3rd Runninsonofagun
