UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

Hostility is better than what he showed when fifth here last month and is better judged on his C&D success the time before. Bay Dream Believer made it two wins from her last four starts at Nottingham but she will need to find more after a 4lb rise. With that in mind, the runner-up from that contest, PERFIDIA, gets the vote. Tim Easterby's gelding raced keenly when not appearing to get home over 1m2f at Beverley subsequently and his efforts prior suggested he was in fine fettle.
Prediction : 1st Perfidia 2nd Hostility 3rd Bay Dream Believer

ROGUE PASSION stepped forward from her Catterick debut when very nearly getting off the mark at the second time of asking over C&D, only beaten a short-head. Ed Bethell's team are in great form at present and this represents a golden opportunity for her to go one better. Newcomer Lizzie Bennet is a half-sister to Group 2 winner Poet Master and commands the utmost respect, while Girl Scout is entitled to improve upon her Windsor debut performance.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Passion 2nd Lizzie Bennet 3rd Girl Scout

Influencer Man has shown plenty of promise on both starts to date and is expected to play a leading role on his nursery bow. Lauralynn was tried in the Marygate at York and has been given a break since, which may stand her in good stead. First-time blinkers are likely to make a difference to ONSLAUGHT, though, and the stiff track is unlikely to be an issue judged on his latest third at Pontefract.
Prediction : 1st Onslaught 2nd Influencer Man 3rd Lauralynn

STIRRUP CUP may well have found a relatively quick turnaround too much to handle when a beaten favourite at Hamilton last time. The four-year-old had scored over C&D the time before and the return to this venue can spark an immediate return to form. Another Investment has strung together a trio of runner-up efforts and another bold bid is expected, while others to consider include recent winners Great and Maldevious.
Prediction : 1st Stirrup Cup 2nd Another Investment 3rd Great

SHIPSHAPE was denied the hat-trick on his latest start when keeping on into second at Chester and he remains capable of further improvement off the same mark. The son of New Bay brings the strongest level of form to the table and is preferred to Asia Force, who may benefit from a gelding operation after being too keen at Thirsk. Dance Time took a step in the right direction when third over C&D in June and is another that could be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Shipshape 2nd Asia Force 3rd Dance Time

LEELAWADEE built on what she had achieved in novice/maiden company when beaten a short-head on her handicap debut at Thirsk. A 2lb rise seems more than fair for Michael Dods' filly and the drop back in trip is unlikely to be an issue. Truly Special won here last time and has to enter the reckoning, along with Only Dream Big and Sparkling Pink.
Prediction : 1st Leelawadee 2nd Truly Special 3rd Only Dream Big
