1	7 1st (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Shoeshine Boy		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(7) Shoeshine Boy 4.5/1, Ended last season by gaining a deserved breakthrough success over a similar trip at Ayr. Mixed bag so far this season, though, and needs to bounce back following a low-key display in the Musselburgh handicap won by Curley Finger.
2	5 2nd (5) (6.5/1 -18%) Aazza		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(5) Aazza 6.5/1, Bolted up in a 3m conditional jockeys' event at Doncaster in January and while she was held off this 13 lb higher mark when fourth at Newcastle next time, it was probably the fast ground rather than the hike in the weights that ultimately made the difference. Possibilities back on slow ground here.
3	8 3rd (8) (3.5/1 +65%) Fortcanyon		3.5 3.5/1(+65%)																															(8) Fortcanyon 3.5/1, Off the mark at Newcastle in January and didn't do a great deal wrong when fourth at Kelso next time. However, he produced a laboured effort behind Curley Finger at Musselburgh recently and is opposable on the back of that.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 -115%) Court Dreaming		14 14/1(-115%)																															(4) Court Dreaming 14/1, Successful over C&D last March and also a dual chase winner at this course, including on his latest start in October. On a feasible mark back hurdling but he'll need to pull out something extra in order to take this.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 -13%) Curley Finger		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(3) Curley Finger 4.5/1, Hexham novice winner last spring and stepped up on previous efforts in handicap company when scoring over 23.8f at Musselburgh (good to soft), the switch to front-running tactics and first-time cheekpieces seemingly the combined catalyst for improvement. More needed here following a 5 lb rise.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 -22%) Haribo Collonges		11 11/1(-22%)																															(6) Haribo Collonges 11/1, No real impact in maiden hurdles (including in Ireland) but back on track making his handicap debut when third at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) on Boxing Day. Shapes as though this further step up in trip and one to consider on debut for new yard with a tongue strap enlisted.
7th	1 7th (1) (5.5/1 +27%) Captain Zebo		5.5 5.5/1(+27%)																															(1) Captain Zebo 5.5/1, Four of his 5 hurdles wins have been gained here, the latest a competitive C&D handicap off a significantly higher mark than this back in December 2020. Hasn't really threatened since but dangerous to discount now pitched into 0-120 company and moving back up in trip.
2	2 |PU| (2) (7.5/1 -7%) Yellowstone Park		7.5 7.5/1(-7%)																															(2) Yellowstone Park 7.5/1, Improved to get off the mark on handicap debut at Leicester (20.5f, soft) in December. Poor next time but back on track when second upped to 23f at Market Rasen last month and merits respect with Brian Hughes booked.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CURLEY FINGER bounced back to form when winning over 3m at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago and Rebecca Menzies' six-year-old, who remains unexposed, could have more to offer from a 5lb raised mark. Court Dreaming was last seen winning over the larger obstacles here and remains fairly treated judged on his peak hurdles form. He must go on the shortlist along with Yellowstone Park, who has Brian Hughes on top for the first time.

HARIBO COLLONGES took a step forward when third upped to 20.6f on his latest start at Market Rasen and, with the potential to do better still now faced with an even stiffer test, he is taken to make a winning start for the Patrick Neville yard. Cases can also be made for the majority of his rivals, not least the 11-y-o Captain Zebo, who has been given a real chance by the handicapper, while Aazza and Yellowstone Park are others with decent claims.

The vote goes to CURLEY FINGER (nap) who was a brave winner over 3m at Musselburgh and is still unexposed in staying handicaps.

1	2 1st (2) (8.5/1 +76%) Dalyotin		8.5 8.5/1(+76%)																															(2) Dalyotin 8.5/1, Off the mark over fences at Sedgefield (21f) last March and started this campaign with good second of 8 at Kelso in November. However, form has dipped badly since and hopes now pinned on the addition of a visor helping to trigger a return to form.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 -125%) Maid O'Malley		9 9/1(-125%)																															(1) Maid O'Malley 9/1, Improved when landing back-to-back mares' handicap chases last season, including over 21f here. Has found life tougher since, though, and remains 7 lb above her last winning mark.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 +29%) Buster Valentine		10 10/1(+29%)																															(3) Buster Valentine 10/1, Game winner of a 5-runner Wetherby handicap chase last March. Hasn't made much of an impact in 4 subsequent completions (over hurdles the last twice) but he's now too well-handicapped to ignore.
4	4 4th (4) (5.5/1 -100%) Tfou		5.5 5.5/1(-100%)																															(4) Tfou 5.5/1, Brought along steadily in bumpers/over hurdles last term and improved when making a winning chase debut on return at Ayr (20.5f, good to soft) in October. Didn't do much wrong when second upped to 23.4f at Kelso the following month and he's a key player back down in trip here.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 -20%) Knocknamona		12 12/1(-20%)																															(9) Knocknamona 12/1, Resumed winning ways at Newcastle in January and followed up over this C&D a month later. Came up short in a Class 2 handicap back here recently and while that race wasn't run to suit, he's probably worth taking on.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 +11%) Operation Overlord		4 4/1(+11%)																															(6) Operation Overlord 4/1, Winner of a handicap hurdle at Ayr in November 2021 and appears to be gradually finding his feet over fences, not seen to best effect when fourth back at Ayr last time. Eased 2 lb since and he remains open to improvement in this sphere.
7th	10 7th (10) (20/1 -11%) Victory Echo		20 20/1(-11%)																															(10) Victory Echo 20/1, Now 5 lb below last winning mark and produced his best effort for a while when third in a 6-runner Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) handicap last month. Not without each-way hope.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 +21%) Dawn Raider		11 11/1(+21%)																															(8) Dawn Raider 11/1, Successful over C&D and at Leicester last term but has failed to scale those heights so far this season. Others preferred.
5	5 |PU| (5) (4/1 +38%) Paddy The Horse		4 4/1(+38%)																															(5) Paddy The Horse 4/1, Point winner who won maiden and handicap hurdle at Hexham in the autumn. Creditable efforts both completed starts in this sphere, most recently finishing third of 10 over C&D, and he's in with an each-way shout.
7	7 |PU| (7) (14/1 +36%) Wild Polly		14 14/1(+36%)																															(7) Wild Polly 14/1, Fairly promising novice hurdler a few seasons back and there were positives to glean from her second run following a lengthy absence when fourth in a handicap at Ayr (24.3f, soft) in February. This former point winner is worth a second look now switched to fences.
11	11 |PU| (11) (14/1 +44%) Contre Ordre		14 14/1(+44%)																															(11) Contre Ordre 14/1, Fairly useful chaser in France but yet to fire on these shores and hopes now pinned on the first-time cheekpieces working the oracle.

16:50 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The Nicky Richards stable is in fine form and this looks like an ideal opportunity for TFOU to continue the good run as he returns to a more suitable trip, having been outstayed over further at Kelso last time out. A determined winner over C&D on his penultimate start, Knocknamona can uphold form with Paddy The Horse (fourth), while Operation Overlord must enter the equation as well.

OPERATION OVERLORD and Tfou, both of whom have low mileage, could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is likely to appreciate dropping back in trip here after finishing second over 23.4f at Kelso and he is greatly respected. However. the vote goes to Lucinda Russell's charge, who left the impression that he could be about to come good in this sphere when fourth at Ayr in February and is lurking on a potentially handy mark. Chasing debutante Wild Polly is best of the rest.

In a tricky race MAID O'MALLEY is chosen to gain her first win of the season on her second run since wind surgery.

1	10 1st (10) (5.5/1 +27%) Burrows Hall		5.5 5.5/1(+27%)																															(10) Burrows Hall 5.5/1, Modest form in bumpers and similar level so far over hurdles. Came third on handicap debut at Wetherby last month but failed to meet expectations upped in trip when a well-beaten fourth at Newcastle 12 days later (possibly unsuited by conditions). In the mix.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 +17%) Applaus		10 10/1(+17%)																															(1) Applaus 10/1, Scored narrowly twice at this C&D over the winter but ran poorly away from this venue when well held at Haydock (18.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Better showing anticipated back at this track.
3	5 3rd (5) (8.5/1 +47%) Allbetsoff		8.5 8.5/1(+47%)																															(5) Allbetsoff 8.5/1, Still a maiden but posted a respectable fourth over C&D back in October. Ran poorly at Market Rasen 3 weeks later though, so will need to hit the ground running returning from 5 months off.
4	11 4th (11) (33/1 -32%) Derracrin		33 33/1(-32%)																															(11) Derracrin 33/1, Still a maiden and again failed to get competitive when seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (17.2f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Others appeal more on reappearance.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/1 +50%) Five Dollar Fine		7 7/1(+50%)																															(4) Five Dollar Fine 7/1, Winning pointer who improved in each of his first 3 outings in regular novices. However, he failed to meet expectations upped in trip for his handicap debut when well held at Kelso (22.7f, good to soft) in February and now drops back down in trip.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 -82%) Duty Calls		10 10/1(-82%)																															(7) Duty Calls 10/1, Won over hurdles here last season and took advantage of being held up in a strongly-run race despite being 3 lb out of the weights as he scored for the first time over fences at Kelso (17.1f, soft) a fortnight ago. Back hurdling now and high on the shortlist.
7th	8 7th (8) (4/1 -45%) Artic Row		4 4/1(-45%)																															(8) Artic Row 4/1, Justified strong support when winning 8-runner event on handicap debut at Ayr (16f, good to firm) last month but didn't get the chance to prove himself still ahead of the handicapper after a 4 lb rise having departed 4 out at Newcastle 10 days ago. Remains of firm interest.
8th	12 8th (12) (10/1 +55%) Strike Of Lighting		10 10/1(+55%)																															(12) Strike Of Lighting 10/1, Poor maiden handicapper who got back on track to a certain extent fitted with tongue tie when fourth at this course (19.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Wouldn't be a banker to reproduce that effort here, though.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 +20%) Ingleby Mackenzie		16 16/1(+20%)																															(9) Ingleby Mackenzie 16/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but well held this year, including for new yard. Headgear/tongue tie back on but has plenty to prove.
10th	6 10th (6) (6.5/1 -63%) Don't Talk		6.5 6.5/1(-63%)																															(6) Don't Talk 6.5/1, Was progressive over hurdles and took a further step forward on chasing debut when fourth at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft) back in January. Quickly reverts to the smaller obstacles and could well have a say in proceedings.
11th	2 11th (2) (8/1 +0%) Limited Reserve		8 8/1(+0%)																															(2) Limited Reserve 8/1, One-time useful hurdler who having tumbled in the weights, made far more impact than in ages when third at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Needs to back that up here but fancied to do so with jockey taking off a valuable 8 lb.

17:25 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A comfortable winner over C&D in February 2022, DUTY CALLS didn't manage to get his head in front again until bouncing back to form when scoring over fences at Kelso a fortnight ago, and he could be well placed to strike again on his return to the smaller obstacles. Irish raider Don't Talk can have a big say, while Artic Row was getting into contention when falling four out at Newcastle and is another to warrant consideration.

Cases can be made for a few but ARTIC ROW was unable to prove himself as still ahead of the handicapper following a 4 lb rise when stumbling and falling soon after 4 out at Newcastle 10 days ago. Providing he's none the worse from that spill, Nick Alexander's charge is fancied to double his tally. Limited Reserve may well emerge as the main threat, with Duty Calls and Burrows Hall also considered.

Burrows Hall can resume his progression back over shorter but narrow preference is for fellow lightly raced type ARTIC ROW.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
