UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Star Of The Desert shaped really well when second to a 102-rated rival on his debut at Southwell, although he was getting plenty of weight and might need a bit more to go one place better. With that in mind, preference is for BELLA ANGELINA. Harry Charlton's filly was slowly away on her introduction, but came home well to make the frame over 7f. Stepping up in trip should suit and she can put that experience to good use. Wid heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bella Angelina 2nd Star Of The Desert 3rd Wid

MOHAYMENAH left her debut form behind to finish a narrow second at Wolverhampton and is expected to gain compensation on this occasion. Pequenita might be the main threat because better was expected of her on debut and Andrew Balding's youngsters often improve for their initial experience. Celestia and Rogue Passion can battle it out for third, with Harlequin Gift needing to find considerable progress.
Prediction : 1st Mohaymenah 2nd Pequenita 3rd Celestia

OTTOMAN is edging closer to a second career win and should the application of first-time blinkers work the oracle, the son of Acclamation might be able to go one place better than he did at Leicester. Is She Now failed to complete her hat-trick at Ayr but remains of definite interest under the 4lb penalty, while Fleur De Mer heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ottoman 2nd Is She Now 3rd Fleur De Mer

INSTANT BOND has turned a corner recently, winning three of his last six starts, including on his latest appearance at Pontefract, and the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal once again following a 3lb rise. Miss Rainbow is likely to prove happier back on turf after struggling at Newcastle last time, while Bay Breeze and Mr Cool are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Instant Bond 2nd Miss Rainbow 3rd Bay Breeze

COTAI BELLE showed initial promise as a juvenile before struggling to land a blow in some competitive events. The daughter of Cotai Glory has returned to form on her last couple of starts and a repeat of her neck second at York last month would likely suffice for her to go one better. D Flawless would have finished closer with a clear run at Pontefract and has to be respected, along with Creative Queen.
Prediction : 1st Cotai Belle 2nd D Flawless 3rd Creative Queen

An open contest which might go the way of HOMESTRAIT. Brian Ellison's filly has been running with plenty of credit since being fitted with cheekpieces and this may be the time to catch her. Supreme Clarets went close on his most recent start at Musselburgh and is entitled to be in the mix, while others to note include Fan Mail and Albeseeingyer.
Prediction : 1st Homestrait 2nd Supreme Clarets 3rd Fan Mail
