UK Horse Racing Tips: Cartmel

ZAMOND makes most appeal of the recent winners after scoring with plenty in hand over C&D last month. Harry Brown's allowance negates a hike in the weights and Donald McCain's 10-year-old is taken to make another bold bid. Alvesta also won here last time and can confirm superiority over the runner-up Mr Lincoln. Mi Sueno is another to consider, despite carrying a penalty for winning at Stratford earlier in the week.
Prediction : 1st Zamond 2nd Alvesta 3rd Mi Sueno

GAMBINO won easily over C&D last month to open his account over hurdles at only the second time of asking. Dan Skelton's charge should have plenty more to offer in this sphere and is taken to defy a penalty. Whermyrosemarygoes made a winning stable/hurdling debut when successful at Uttoxeter. She rates the main threat with Harry Cobden keeping the partnership intact, while Hawthorn Road is a likely improver.
Prediction : 1st Gambino 2nd Whermyrosemarygoes 3rd Hawthorn Road

Plenty with claims, but FRISKY WHISKEY has the most scope as she makes her handicap debut. Brian Ellison's inmate finished a respectable third over 2m6f here last time and the runner-up has since given that form a solid look. Stiletto arrives in fine fettle and can go well from the top of the weights, while Kingofthegame could land a blow too. Secret Secret and Seeyainthesuninn are closely matched on their latest running here.
Prediction : 1st Frisky Whiskey 2nd Stiletto 3rd Kingofthegame

Decent ground should suit Dan Skelton's EDELAK admirably and with the four-year-old winning four of his last five starts (falling in the other), he may be able to shrug off an added 6lb if he continues to improve. Drombeg Lad wasn't beaten far when second at Uttoxeter, despite pulling too hard, and if he settles he could be a danger to all. Virtual Rock is rated 100 on the Flat and has to be of interest on only his third start over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Edelak 2nd Drombeg Lad 3rd Virtual Rock

Tanking Along has finished second on his last two starts, at Kelso and Perth, and may have to settle for the same position if PASSING DIAMOND remains at his peak. Decent enough over hurdles, he made his chasing debut over C&D last month, where he jumped well and made all to come home almost five lengths clear. Although upped 6lb, he can only learn from the experience. Kientzheim is another to consider if she can produce her hurdling form over fences.
Prediction : 1st Passing Diamond 2nd Tanking Along 3rd Kientzheim

Judicial Review is looking for a hat-trick in this race, but he has a new jockey this season in 7lb claimer Leah Noreci and he hasn't won again in the past 12 months. Danny McMenamin was on board for both victories and switches to Scoro, who is interesting in a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, but KINBARA FIRSTDRAFT get the vote. Dropped in class for his second start following wind surgery and down a stone in the handicap, he could surprise them all.
Prediction : 1st Kinbara Firstdraft 2nd Scoro 3rd Judicial Review
