UK Horse Racing Tips: Cartmel

GAMBINO finished an encouraging third on his only start in this sphere at Newbury in March and if reproducing that level of form, Dan Skelton's charge could prove hard to beat. Speed For Fun was four lengths clear when falling at the last over 2m4f at Listowel in May and holds an obvious chance for the Willie Mullins team, while Masekela is next best.
Prediction : 1st Gambino 2nd Speed For Fun 3rd Masekela

It's hard to get away from SEEYAINTHESUNINN, who bolted up by 13 lengths over C&D last month and if running anywhere near that level again, he is likely to play a leading role. Westerton is a player based on his runner-up effort at Warwick two starts ago and may improve for this step up in trip. Present Fair isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Seeyainthesuninn 2nd Westerton 3rd Present Fair

Matoury successfully completed a double at Market Rasen earlier in the month and is bound to have his supporters, but the vote goes to TOP FLIGHT CENTURY. David Thompson's charge wasn't disgraced when third over 2m4f at Perth at the start of the month and may have more to offer over this longer trip. Masterminding is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Top Flight Century 2nd Matoury 3rd Masterminding

Scots Poet unseated his rider when bidding for a hat-trick at Perth on his most recent start and there will be many who keep the faith. Big Gypsy King sprung a 25/1 surprise when victorious in a novice event over C&D last month and is one to watch, but RAFFLES NOBU gets the nod. The six-year-old struck by just under three lengths over an extended 2m2f at Newton Abbot a week ago and can go in again.
Prediction : 1st Raffles Nobu 2nd Scots Poet 3rd Big Gypsy King

Le Malin hasn't been seen since he won at Down Royal on Boxing Day 2024 but that form looks solid and he could have a say if he retains enthusiasm. However, preference is for STRATAGEM, who has a proven liking for this unique venue and his healthy strike-rate over fences makes him a tempting proposition. Slaney Opera could also have a say if his fall at Newton Abbot is left behind.
Prediction : 1st Stratagem 2nd Le Malin 3rd Slaney Opera

DUNKERQUE has maintained steady progression and remans unbeaten in three starts over fences. Also a winner on his final start over hurdles, this upwardly-mobile six-year-old still has room to move from a mark of 128 and further success is attainable. Krak and Kientzheim both get 9lb from the selection and have feasible chances at the weights. However, Passing Diamond is another improving type who could be a bigger danger if the switch to fences draws further progress.
Prediction : 1st Dunkerque 2nd Passing Diamond 3rd Krak

After a win and a second over hurdles in recent months, this venue seems to bring the best out of PATH OF STARS. Assuming the switch to fences is taken in her stride, victory here could open new doors for the reliable five-year-old. Imperial Rule and El Muchacho are more experienced in this discipline and are likely to capitalise if the selection falters on her chasing debut. Jack Sprat could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Path Of Stars 2nd Imperial Rule 3rd El Muchacho
