The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(6) The Raven's Return 2.5/1, Lightly raced for this yard and comfortably ended a losing run under this rider at Wincanton 17 days ago. Only 2 lb and remains well treated on old form, so looks capable of following up.
2
2nd (8) (3.5/1 +65%) Rickety Gate
3.5/1(+65%)
(8) Rickety Gate 3.5/1, Scored here in the autumn but has been hit and miss since, only eighth over C&D last month. Others make more appeal.
3
3rd (9) (28/1 -100%) Ex S'Elance
28/1(-100%)
(9) Ex S'Elance 28/1, Unreliable sort who posted one of his better efforts at Hexham recently but is set for a struggle in this stronger contest.
4
4th (1) (7.5/1 -67%) Zafar
7.5/1(-67%)
(1) Zafar 7.5/1, Third win in a productive first season for this yard when seeing off 6 rivals at Musselburgh in January. Has remained in form without appearing to have much up his sleeve, but should give another good account.
5th
5th (2) (16/1 -220%) Applaus
16/1(-220%)
(2) Applaus 16/1, Course winner who arrives in form and was arguably a bit better than the result when third at Hexham 19 days ago, finishing best. Consistency isn't his strong suit, though.
6th
6th (7) (6/1 +25%) Lusitanien
6/1(+25%)
(7) Lusitanien 6/1, Sliding in the weights and performed respectably a couple of times prior to a lesser effort at Ayr in March. Back up in trip, fitted with a hood, and has the assistance of a promising amateur.
7th
7th (5) (9/1 +25%) Gulliver Collonges
9/1(+25%)
(5) Gulliver Collonges 9/1, Fair form at best over hurdles but hard to recommend based on what he's done the last twice. Market support could be significant, however.
8th
8th (4) (16/1 +0%) Fiadh
16/1(+0%)
(4) Fiadh 16/1, Bumper winner who landed a weak mares' maiden hurdle at Newcastle in November. Hasn't fired since, his jumping letting him down when only seventh at Ayr a month ago, so arrives with a bit to prove.
9th
9th (3) (6.5/1 -8%) Follow Your Arrow
6.5/1(-8%)
(3) Follow Your Arrow 6.5/1, Winless following four attempts between the flags and 0-6 in this sphere. Has run creditably since switched to handicaps but no indication that he has anything in hand.
10th
10th (10) (66/1 -100%) Pistol
66/1(-100%)
(10) Pistol 66/1, Lazy sort who is firmly up against it from a long way out of the handicap.

(5) Ashjan 2.75/1, Recorded back-to-back wins in 21f handicap chases at Sedgefield in February/March. Ran creditably here (20f) 20 days ago following an 8 lb rise in the weights. Can give his running again.
2
2nd (4) (7/1 +30%) Mustang Alpha
7/1(+30%)
(4) Mustang Alpha 7/1, Has yet to convince since joining this yard, faring no better sent chasing both starts in January. Took a step back in the right direction over hurdles at Hereford (19.7f) last time. Back over fences.
3
3rd (10) (50/1 +24%) Black Market
50/1(+24%)
(10) Black Market 50/1, Fair ex-Irish hurdler but has shown little for current yard, including tried in cheekpieces when last seen in November 2020. Now makes chase debut after 17 months off.

14/1(+13%)
(6) Who's The Guv'nor 14/1, Went close in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) in May but has failed to reproduce that level of form since, including over fences on his last 4 starts.

6/1(-71%)
(3) Aire Valley Lad 6/1, Fair hurdle winner and had put together a solid spell over fences, finishing runner-up three times in a row, prior to a below-par effort last time. Could return to form back down in grade.
6th
6th (8) (11/1 -47%) Holme Abbey
11/1(-47%)
(8) Holme Abbey 11/1, Hexham novice handicap chase winner last May but has shown little since the summer, finishing down the field all 3 completed starts since November. Now 3 lb below his last winning mark.

6.5/1(+28%)
(9) Largy Fix 6.5/1, Well held all 3 outings over hurdles this season. Makes chase/handicap debut but improvement required following a wind op.
|F|
|F| (1) (7.5/1 +32%) Lamanver Storm
7.5/1(+32%)
(1) Lamanver Storm 7.5/1, Still to get his head in front and has offered little in 2 novice handicaps (20f) sent chasing this season, pulled up at Uttoxeter in 1st time cheekpieces when last seen on New Year's Eve.

4.5/1(-50%)
(2) Just Call Me Al 4.5/1, Has been running well over hurdles/fences this season, winning 3 times (all at Sedgefield around 19f). Not quite in same form last 2 starts but still in the frame and major player for in-form stable.

(2) Super Survivor 0.83/1, Bought for £115,000 after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points. Won novice at Doncaster (19.5f) on hurdling debut before still green when runner-up at Chepstow last time. The one to beat.
2
2nd (1) (1/1 +28%) Palm Beach
1/1(+28%)
(1) Palm Beach 1/1, Took well to hurdling for Joseph O'Brien but lost way after winning maiden at Kilbeggan in May. However, after 6 months off he made a successful stable debut over C&D 20 days ago. Likely challenger.
3
3rd (3) (40/1 -60%) Collaborating
40/1(-60%)
(3) Collaborating 40/1, Fair 9f Flat winner. Well beaten in both starts over hurdles for Patrick Neville and has since left Ann Duffield after 3 outings on the Flat. Enough to prove back hurdling.
4
4th (6) (20/1 -11%) Olympus
20/1(-11%)
(6) Olympus 20/1, Down the field on the Flat making first start for this yard last month. In 1st time cheekpieces, showed a bit more when third of 6 in novice hurdle at Hexham (23.3f) 19 days ago. Dropped in trip.

5th (4) (150/1 -50%) Ever Ready Eddie
150/1(-50%)

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Miss Amelia 4/1, In excellent form over fences last season, winning 3 handicaps including over C&D. Respectable efforts in completed starts this campaign and can build on her Wetherby third 16 days ago. Respected.
2
2nd (5) (1.1/1 +33%) Wheelbahri
1.1/1(+33%)
(5) Wheelbahri 1.1/1, Hasn't looked back since brushing up his jumping, racking up a 4-timer with his latest success coming over C&D 20 days ago. Up a further 11 lb in the weights but that might not be enough to stop him.
3
3rd (3) (7/1 -8%) Tonto's Spirit
7/1(-8%)
(3) Tonto's Spirit 7/1, Won 3 handicaps at Cartmel this season with his latest success coming in August. Below form since, but there were more promising signs at least when third of 5 here (20f) last month.
4
4th (2) (5/1 -43%) Joke Dancer
5/1(-43%)
(2) Joke Dancer 5/1, Useful chaser at best who had been struggling for form this season. However, dropped in grade he got back to winning ways in handicap at Kelso 21 days ago. Back up in class but remains fairly treated.
5th
5th (1) (7.5/1 -25%) Slanelough
7.5/1(-25%)
(1) Slanelough 7.5/1, Back-to-back winner at around 2m last spring. Has been holding his form well since and resumed winning ways in handicap at Newcastle last month, finding extra to see off his sole rival. More needed.
LTO Selection:
14:54 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Silva Eclipse 6/1, Back to winning ways in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f) in February before creditable third there next time. However, now has a bit to prove after finishing well held at Uttoxeter.
2
2nd (4) (3.33/1 +0%) Court Dreaming
3.33/1(+0%)
(4) Court Dreaming 3.33/1, Back in cheekpieces, returned to form from out of the blue when scoring in handicap over C&D 20 days ago. Well positioned that day but he still remains on a workable mark based on old form.
3
3rd (3) (2.5/1 +25%) Phil De Pail
2.5/1(+25%)
(3) Phil De Pail 2.5/1, Fair bumper performer. Similar form first 2 hurdle starts and perhaps unsuited by heavy ground when pulled up at Uttoxeter latest. Back on track in 1st time tongue strap at Haydock. Can go well again.
4
4th (1) (1.25/1 -25%) Schalke
1.25/1(-25%)
(1) Schalke 1.25/1, Has improved for stepping up in trip on his last 2 starts, off the mark in handicap at Market Rasen (23.1f) in February before following up at Catterick (25.3f) last month. Open to further progress.

3.33/1(+5%)
(5) Exit To Where 3.33/1, Better than ever when scoring in handicap at Ayr (24.1f) in May but below form next 3 outings. Step back in right direction when fifth over C&D 20 days ago, faring best of those ridden close up.
3
3rd (3) (2/1 +43%) Pitempton Power
2/1(+43%)
(3) Pitempton Power 2/1, Winner of first 2 starts over fences and back on track (following a fall) with a creditable second over C&D in February. Also runner-up here last time (15.9f), Major contender.
4
4th (8) (9/1 -80%) Dolly Dancer
9/1(-80%)
(8) Dolly Dancer 9/1, Returned to form following a break when runner-up in mares' handicap at Newcastle (20.1f) in March and ran to a similar level when third at Hexham later same month. May find one or two too strong.
5th
5th (9) (7/1 +13%) Tico Times
7/1(+13%)

6.5/1(-44%)
(6) Cracking Find 6.5/1, Won handicap at Newcastle (20.1f) on final start in 2021/22 and several creditable efforts in the current campaign before losing his way. Better effort when third back at Newcastle last time.
LTO Selection:
16:04 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(11) Cliffs Of Dooneen 8/1, Useful stayer on Flat for Ralph Beckett in 2020 but has yet to achieve much of worth over hurdles, including when fourth at Sedgefield last month.
2
2nd (1) (2.75/1 +17%) Ritson
2.75/1(+17%)
(1) Ritson 2.75/1, Failed to justify support from a fair-looking opening mark at Kelso 12 days ago but almost certainly had too much use made of him and is well worth another chance.
3
3rd (2) (3/1 +0%) Latino Fling
3/1(+0%)
(2) Latino Fling 3/1, Progressive mare who's won 2 of her 3 starts, including 12-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good) 22 days ago, running on. Obvious player up 5 lb.

8.5/1(+23%)

5th (10) (10/1 +17%) My Macho Man
10/1(+17%)
(10) My Macho Man 10/1, Still looking for first success over hurdles and added to patchy record last time but is becoming well handicapped so not out of things back from a break.

8.5/1(-89%)
(5) Hungry Tiger 8.5/1, Off the mark in this sphere when taking 11-runner handicap hurdle (7/2) at Newcastle (16.2f, good) and good second at Wetherby since. Respected.

50/1(-52%)

8th
8th (3) (8.5/1 +47%) Well Educated
8.5/1(+47%)
(3) Well Educated 8.5/1, Excuses both starts in handicaps so far and on a workable mark judged on his promising third in 2m novice hurdle at Newcastle in November.
9th
9th (8) (33/1 -32%) Just Jess
33/1(-32%)
(8) Just Jess 33/1, Showed much-improved form when making a winning return in Hexham novice but has disappointed since, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 18 days ago. Headgear on 1st time.
10th
10th (4) (9/1 +0%) Duty Calls
9/1(+0%)
(4) Duty Calls 9/1, Dual point winner who opened his account under Rules at the eleventh attempt in C&D handicap but needs to shrug off a below-par run at Newcastle.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
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. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
