UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Call Nicki has progressed with each of her three outings, most recently filling the runner-up spot over 5f here, and she is likely to be on the premises. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer KING OF PERSIA, who is a half-brother to a couple of juvenile winners and it would be no surprise to see the son of Bated Breath make an instant impression. Any market support behind Redline would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st King Of Persia 2nd Call Nicki 3rd Redline

Sunlit Sea failed to get her head in front in seven attempts last year, but could prove a different proposition with a first-time visor applied for her reappearance. Course winner Ramon Di Loria is another to watch, but the vote goes to RAMBUSO CREEK. Michael Herrington's charge landed a classified stakes at Nottingham on Thursday and can complete a quickfire double.
Prediction : 1st Rambuso Creek 2nd Sunlit Sea 3rd Ramon Di Loria

Wee Dresser outran odds of 200/1 when third at Ayr last month and is of interest on her handicap bow, but the one who appeals most is BELLING THE CAT. The daughter of Rajasinghe weakened into fourth inside the final furlong over 7f at Catterick and this drop back in trip could work the oracle. Stormy Pearl completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Belling The Cat 2nd Wee Dresser 3rd Stormy Pearl

The veteran Torcello cruised to success at Haydock and remains well treated off 5lb higher, but ground conditions are unlikely to be as testing and it might pay to side with BANDERAS instead. Sam England's gelding was a winner over hurdles at Hexham latest and is more than capable on the level too, as he showed when victorious here last July. The consistent Clansman is expected to make his presence felt, as might last year's winner Arctic Fox.
Prediction : 1st Banderas 2nd Torcello 3rd Clansman

Hostility chased home an improving rival over 1m1f here recently and is expected to go close on that evidence. Jewel Maker finished fourth in that contest and could close the gap dropped a furlong in trip, although preference is still afforded to BELLASIO. Grant Tuer's gelding showed signs of a revival at Newcastle latest and is now only 1lb higher than when winning a division of this 12 months ago.
Prediction : 1st Bellasio 2nd Hostility 3rd Jewel Maker

SANDY CRAIC might have been turned over when favourite at Musselburgh, but she was badly hampered early on and had to forfeit ground on a day where it paid to be prominent. David O'Meara's filly was dropped 1lb for that effort and if able to build on her earlier York fifth, she can reward those who keep the faith. Blufferonthebus and Velvet Rhythm head the dangers.
Prediction : 1st Sandy Craic 2nd Blufferonthebus 3rd Velvet Rhythm

Connections of GOOD KARMA swapped a visor for cheekpieces (retained) when he struck at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and John Riches' grey is fancied to go in again from only 2lb higher. The Gay Blade had a couple of these in arrears when successful over C&D latest but probably does need a bit more given that he's never won off a mark in the 60s, so King Sharja might be the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Good Karma 2nd King Sharja 3rd The Gay Blade
