UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

TEES GEORGE took a big step forward when second over slightly further at Beverley just over a couple of weeks ago and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect off the same mark here. The consistent veteran Poetic Force also hit the crossbar last time and could prove to be the main danger, although Kaaress and We Still Believe are others with strong form claims.
Prediction : 1st Tees George 2nd Poetic Force 3rd Kaaress

HARDY'S HERO left his debut performance well behind when getting off the mark at Haydock and with the prospect of more to come, William Haggas' colt clearly tops the shortlist. Lunar Melody cost 500,000 euros at a breeze-up sale earlier in the year and she has to be respected on her first start. Perfect Price and Bushwacker are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Hardys Hero 2nd Lunar Melody 3rd Perfect Price

The unexposed PAL JOEY got off the mark on his first start in handicap company at Haydock in July and a 3lb rise may underestimate the son of Showcasing. Territorial Knight also scored on his most recent outing and could give the selection plenty to think about. Lord Roxby edges out Rainbow Nebula and Far Above The Law to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Pal Joey 2nd Territorial Knight 3rd Lord Roxby

CANARIA QUEEN was set a stiffer task at Ripon when bidding for a treble and found a couple too good. Tim Easterby's sprinter will be hard to keep out of the finish up against lesser rivals here and is worthy of another chance. Brian The Snail has been in the mix over 6f at Redcar recently and this return to the minimum trip looks the logical move. Chief Of State is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Canaria Queen 2nd Brian The Snail 3rd Chief Of State

Novice winner ICE SOVEREIGNS had little trouble disposing of the opposition when landing the odds over C&D. That form looks stronger in hindsight, given the subsequent success of the runner-up, and Charlie Johnston's promising filly can make a winning start in nurseries. Awraad finished a close second over 6f in Listed company at Ripon and should feature, while the improving Gascony won at Epsom in fine style and is not out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Ice Sovereigns 2nd Awraad 3rd Gascony

It could pay to stick with RED MIRAGE in his current frame of mind. The son of Showcasing finished a respectable third at Kempton, having scored in this lower grade at Doncaster before that, when Rich Rhythm (second) and Beale Street (third) filled the places. The latter pair are not out of it, although last month's Haydock third One Night Thunder may prove a bigger danger off his current mark.
Prediction : 1st Red Mirage 2nd One Night Thunder 3rd Rich Rhythm

Beaten less than a length in his attempt to complete a double at Beverley, MILTEYE should appreciate a return to Carlisle, having scored over C&D on his penultimate start off 3lb lower. Harriet Bethell's charge should have too much for last-start Newmarket third Kaaranah, as well as Sonic Pioneer, who has been runner-up on three of his last four starts and deserves a change in luck.
Prediction : 1st Milteye 2nd Sonic Pioneer 3rd Kaaranah

This can go the way of JEZ BOMB, who has been in a rich vein of form of late and a further 3lb rise for his recent success at Thirsk may not be enough to prevent him from rounding out the hat-trick on the slight rise in distance. Another who has been upwardly mobile lately is Quirke On Parole and she must enter calculations along with Doncaster winner Sweet Kiss, who has a 4lb hike to overcome.
Prediction : 1st Jez Bomb 2nd Quirke On Parole 3rd Sweet Kiss
