UK Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle

SANAFI ZABEEL justified strong market support to score at Hamilton earlier in the month and a 4lb rise doesn't seem likely to stop Jim Goldie's gelding from backing that performance up. Epidavros was fourth in the aforementioned contest and is capable of being in the mix, while the extra furlong might yield improvement from Up The Jazz judged on his recent efforts.
Prediction : 1st Sanafi Zabeel 2nd Epidavros 3rd Up The Jazz

There didn't appear to be any fluke about Prosperity Angel's success at Thirsk after stepping forward from a promising first run at Catterick. However, she faces several interesting newcomers, with the vote going to BENBECULA. A half-brother to the yard's Ain't Nobody, who won the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and was runner-up in the 2025 Nunthorpe, his price tag increased from 82,000gns as a foal to 240,000gns when selling at Tattersalls Book 1 and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning debut. Mehmas Star and Sarasota Blue Blue are others who command respect, especially the latter if the market speaks in her favour.
Prediction : 1st Benbecula 2nd Prosperity Angel 3rd Sarasota Blue Blue

Emerald Bay may have found an 8lb rise too much when seeking a hat-trick at Newmarket but he is entitled to be in the mix, with a change of headgear to blinkers potentially aiding his cause. Bincimbal won on his nursery debut at Epsom and enters calculations off a 2lb higher mark, but the claims of KANZI are hard to ignore. The daughter of Ghaiyyath built on her debut second at Ayr when going one better at Lingfield and an opening mark of 79 may prove to be on the lenient side.
Prediction : 1st Kanzi 2nd Bincimbal 3rd Emerald Bay

ROGUE ATTRACTION may well have finished closer than seventh at Glorious Goodwood, but she was denied a clear run at a crucial time. That was still a decent effort in the circumstances and she is only 3lb higher than for her C&D success the time before. Town Queen got off the mark at the fourth time of asking at Southwell in June and has to be of interest on her handicap debut, while similar comments apply to Tip Foster.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Attraction 2nd Town Queen 3rd Tip Foster

Crafty Spirit might have finished closer than he did when bidding for a hat-trick at Beverley had he not suffered some interference, and he is respected from an unchanged mark. Without Flaw regained the winning thread at Catterick but she's not known for her consistency, whereas HARRY MOLE has been able to string a number of creditable efforts together and looks sure to break his maiden tag sooner rather than later.
Prediction : 1st Harry Mole 2nd Crafty Spirit 3rd Without Flaw

RIDDIKULUS has been successful on two of her last four appearances and found only a progressive rival too strong at Ripon latest. A further 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run and she is preferred to Hansteen, who was only narrowly beaten by the selection at the North Yorkshire venue early last month. Dr Rio doesn't do anything quickly nowadays, but Declan Carroll's veteran should appreciate a return to further having kept on into third over 10 furlongs at Beverley.
Prediction : 1st Riddikulus 2nd Hansteen 3rd Dr Rio

Falaise Blanc was reeled in late on at Hamilton and is expected to go close again, but the vote goes to previous C&D winner IDYLLIC. Wilf Storey's mare bounced back to form with a creditable third at Ayr earlier this month and she should be more than capable of going a couple of places better, especially because this extra furlong will suit. Hey Havana has been expensive to follow this term, but a considerable step up in trip might unlock some improvement.
Prediction : 1st Idyllic 2nd Falaise Blanc 3rd Hey Havana
