Dam lightly-raced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Aesop's Fables out of useful 1m-1¼m winner Abhisheka. Could make a bold bid first time up. Showcasing colt; from a good family; Johnston stable won this race last year.
1	3 1st (3) (1.62/1 +1%) Malc	1.62 1.62/1(+1%)	(3) Malc 1.62/1, Foaled April 10. 34,000 gns yearling, 140,000 gns 2-y-o, Calyx colt.

2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 -40%) Kaolinite	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(2) Kaolinite 3.5/1, Not seen to best effect when third of 7 in minor event (11/2) at Southwell (5f) on debut 14 days ago, denied a run over 1f out. Can progress from that effort to get off the mark. Showed clear promise at Southwell two weeks ago; the only runner with experience.
3	4 3rd (4) (33/1 +0%) Parson's Meadow	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Parson's Meadow 33/1, Foaled March 20. 32,000 gns yearling, 45,000 gns 2-y-o, Masar colt.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Carlisle Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Kaolinite ran a debut full of promise at Southwell over this trip and he is likely to have learned a lot from that experience, which gives him a big shout. However, preference is still for TROPICAL AIR, who is a half-brother to Aesop's Fables and he is fancied to show enough pace to strike on debut. Any market support for Instant Recall should be noted.

The opener can go the way of KAOLINITE who wasn't seen to best effect when third at Southwell on debut a fortnight ago, making headway when denied a run over 1f out. He can put his experience to good use to open his account, though Instant Recall is respected for Karl Burke on his first start and Tropical Air could also go well.

Preference is for very interesting newcomer INSTANT RECALL, who has striking credentials. Kaolinite is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (8/1 +60%) Ramon Di Loria	8 8/1(+60%)	(5) Ramon Di Loria 8/1, Failed to come on for recent run when last of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Hamilton (5f, good) 8 days ago. Needs to leave his latest effort well behind. Form has dipped in two outings this season; opposed at present.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +43%) Princess Karine	4 4/1(+43%)	(6) Princess Karine 4/1, Placed all 3 starts this year, second of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Newcastle (5f) 13 days ago. Can be in the mix once more. Placed in all three starts this term, neck second at Newcastle latest; solid chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +0%) Huddle Up	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Huddle Up 5/1, Back down in trip, not discredited when fifth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 8 days ago. 7-lb claimer back on board. Threatening to add to his Irish wins; ties in with The Thin Blue Line on latest effort.
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 -150%) Albegone	25 25/1(-150%)	(9) Albegone 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, below form when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on final outing that year. Off 7 months with cheekpieces back on. First-time-out record suggests this reappearance run will be needed.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 -25%) The Thin Blue Line	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) The Thin Blue Line 5/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in April. Again ran well when second of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 7/1) 8 days ago. Leading contender. Has shown career-best form the last twice, close second at Hamilton latest; big player.
6th	7 6th (7) (5/1 +23%) Glorious Rio	5 5/1(+23%)	(7) Glorious Rio 5/1, Won twice at this venue last summer, including over C&D. Not discredited when sixth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (5f) 13 days ago. Interesting contender back here with cheekpieces reapplied. Has a record of 2-4 at Carlisle; 3lb below last winning mark; possibilities.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 -13%) Our Absent Friends	9 9/1(-13%)	(3) Our Absent Friends 9/1, After 5 months off, back on the up when successful at Newcastle in March. 7/2, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Can give his running again back down in trip. Open to further progress and warrants respect back down in trip (2-2 over 5f).
8th	1 8th (1) (5.5/1 -38%) Nelson Gay	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(1) Nelson Gay 5.5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, not seen to best effect when sixth of 16 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 33 days ago, denied clear run over 1f out. Cheekpieces back on. Interesting on third run for Michael Dods; stable in much better form since last run.
9th	8 9th (8) (12/1 -50%) Mews House	12 12/1(-50%)	(8) Mews House 12/1, After just 4 days off, won 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 13/8) 3 days ago. Will need to find more to follow up under a penalty. Went close at Catterick last Monday then won at Hamilton on Friday; in great form.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Carlisle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

THE THIN BLUE LINE (second) and Huddle Up (fifth) renew rivalry from last week at Hamilton, and the former shades the vote once more as he looked well on top of his opponent on that occasion and boasts leading claims to go one better. Another to consider is Our Absent Friends, who filled the runner-up spot at Ayr over 6f when beaten just under a length. He can go well off a 1lb higher mark.

THE THIN BLUE LINE arrives in good form, getting back to winning ways at Musselburgh in April before running at least as well when second at Hamilton, so he is taken to provide Keith Dalgleish with back-to-back victories in this race. Heading the list of dangers is the consistent Princess Karine, while Glorious Rio could fare better returned to this course.

With his new yard back in better form NELSON GAY may well be the answer. Princess Karine is second choice.

15:10 Carlisle Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2.75/1 -22%) Papa Cocktail	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(2) Papa Cocktail 2.75/1, Again travelled smoothly when making it back-to-back wins in 16-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago, well on top finish. Can land the hat-trick. Competitive off slightly higher marks last year; fair claims of completing the hat-trick.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 +30%) Lord Abama	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(5) Lord Abama 3.5/1, Not discredited when fourth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 7/2) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Will need to find more to open his account. Has the ability to win off this mark but there can only be so many excuses.
3	7 3rd (7) (14/1 -87%) Thaki	14 14/1(-87%)	(7) Thaki 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, again ran creditably when third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. Plenty of chances in slightly lesser company for two yards in recent times; 0-6 on turf.
4	1 4th (1) (7/1 +0%) Westmorian	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Westmorian 7/1, Won final 2 starts in 2022, successful at Newcastle in December. Disappointing when fourth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (6f, soft) 26 days ago. Could bounce back on a sounder surface. Not much wiggle room off this mark but will be a danger to all if allowed to dictate.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +0%) Barney's Bay	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Barney's Bay 9/1, Twenty-six runs since last win in 2021. Below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft, 7/2) 26 days ago. Blinkers back on. Hasn't won in two years and has done all his racing this season over 7f-1m; needs more.
6th	3 6th (3) (2/1 +43%) Straits Of Moyle	2 2/1(+43%)	(3) Straits Of Moyle 2/1, C&D winner. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, back to form when third of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 16 days ago. Merits consideration off his current mark. Less testing ground in his favour and he's on a handy mark, so needs considering.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 -22%) Newyorkstateofmind	22 22/1(-22%)	(4) Newyorkstateofmind 22/1, After a promising stable debut has gone the wrong way in his 2 subsequent starts, tenth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 16 days ago. Done most winning on the AW and has struggled since returned to turf; outsider.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Carlisle Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

PAPA COCKTAIL did it nicely at Haydock last month when a comfortable two-length winner, and he has been put up another 7lb in the weights for that display. The son of Churchill is rapidly on the improve and he is fancied to make it a treble. The main danger might be Straits Of Moyle, who took a step forward in first-time cheekpieces last time at Thirsk. Of the remainder, Lord Abama appeals the most.

PAPA COCKTAIL has returned to form on his last 2 starts, again impressing with how he travelled when scoring back on turf at Haydock last time, and he can go on to complete the hat-trick. Straits of Moyle bounced back in first-time cheekpieces when third at Thirsk earlier this month and is feared most, ahead of Westmorian.

Well treated after a barren spell on the AW STRAITS OF MOYLE showed more back on turf last time and is preferred to Papa Cocktail.

15:40 Carlisle Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.91/1 +39%) What's The Story	0.91 0.91/1(+39%)	(1) What's The Story 0.91/1, Having dropped in the weights, produced best effort of the year when second of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 8 days ago. Could be ready to return to winning ways. Close second in higher grade at Hamilton eight days ago; good chance off same mark.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 -9%) Detective	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) Detective 6/1, Five-time course winner, including over this distance. Failed to stay significantly longer trip when last of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Pontefract (18f, heavy) 41 days ago. Capable of getting involved with cheekpieces back on. Has an excellent record at Carlisle, including a success in this race last year; respected.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 +50%) Strongbowe	5 5/1(+50%)	(6) Strongbowe 5/1, C&D winner. 15/2, followed a good run with a below-par one when last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 9 days ago. Others more persuasive. Had possible excuses last time; C&D winner (narrowly beat Detective) last July.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 -83%) Sucellus	11 11/1(-83%)	(3) Sucellus 11/1, Best effort last season when winning 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 18/1) in October, better placed than most. Needs to pick up where he left off as he makes his reappearance. Absent since AW win seven months ago; more exposed on turf.
5th	2 5th (2) (6.5/1 -30%) Alazwar	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(2) Alazwar 6.5/1, Possibly needed the run after 5 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (1m, soft) 21 days ago. Can fare better with his reappearance behind him. Has possibilities if back to best with Bath reappearance under his belt.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -75%) Gobi Sunset	14 14/1(-75%)	(5) Gobi Sunset 14/1, Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, again below form when last of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 7 days ago. Disappointing favourite at Musselburgh last week; losing run is mounting up.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Carlisle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

WHAT'S THE STORY spent most of his winter in Bahrain and stepped forward from his comeback fifth at Wolverhampton to get to within half a length of a progressive rival at Hamilton. Off the same mark, he is taken to go one better, although Sucellus signed off 2022 with a surprise success on the all-weather and is dangerous if returning in the same form. Detective loves it here and two C&D triumphs last season include a three-quarter-length verdict in this contest.

Having dropped to a handy mark, WHAT'S THE STORY ran well back on turf after 10 weeks off when third at Hamilton 8 days ago and he can build on that and return to winning ways. Five-time course winner Detective could be the biggest threat back down in trip, while Alazwar is the pick of the remainder with his reappearance run behind him.

Course specialist DETECTIVE gets the verdict. Strongbowe (second choice) and What's The Story are respected.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (9/1 -13%) Gone	9 9/1(-13%)	(9) Gone 9/1, Made a winning return at Lingfield in April. Having not been seen to best effect next time, soon back on track when third of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Shortlisted. Best form at 7f; failed to convince over 1m on penultimate start.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 -20%) Hills Of Gold	6 6/1(-20%)	(2) Hills Of Gold 6/1, Possibly needed the run after 7 months off (had been gelded) when third of 9 in minor event at Thirsk (1m, heavy) 30 days ago. Could have more to offer now handicapping. Promising third in Thirsk novice event on reappearance; open to further progress.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -50%) Sophia's Starlight	5 5/1(-50%)	(4) Sophia's Starlight 5/1, After 6 months off, put experience to good use when making all in 6-runner minor event (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago. Not dismissed lightly as she makes her handicap debut. Made all for ready success in 7f AW novice event on reappearance; still unexposed.
4	7 4th (7) (2.5/1 +17%) Leap Year Lad	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(7) Leap Year Lad 2.5/1, Finally off the mark when landing 6-runner handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good, 9/4) 15 days ago, always holding on. Major player with his yard going well. Opened his account at Hamilton two weeks ago; form stacks up well; solid claims.
5th	1 5th (1) (25/1 +0%) Sea Urchin	25 25/1(+0%)	(1) Sea Urchin 25/1, Fair form in France last year, but went backwards from his reappearance when last of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) 27 days ago. Others preferred. Not disgraced on British debut; totally failed to match that form later in April.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -220%) Optician	80 80/1(-220%)	(5) Optician 80/1, Wasn't able to build on an encouraging debut effort last year, twelfth of 15 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm) when last seen in August. Gelded since and he now goes up in trip for his handicap debut. Regressive results last summer but may turn things around now handicapping.
7th	3 7th (3) (2.25/1 +36%) Farhhfromforgotten	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(3) Farhhfromforgotten 2.25/1, After 8 months off (gelded), shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (1m, good to soft, 11/2) 19 days ago. Open to improvement now heading into handicaps. Consistent RPRs in three races; looks a solid contender on handicap debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 +52%) Red Shield	16 16/1(+52%)	(8) Red Shield 16/1, Failed to repeat his previous effort when ninth of 16 on handicap debut at Gowran (7f, soft, 28/1) 33 days ago. First run for yard after leaving J. F. O'Shea. Not solid on his Irish form; change of scenery needs to help.
9th	6 9th (6) (18/1 +0%) Bowland Prince	18 18/1(+0%)	(6) Bowland Prince 18/1, Having been off for 7 months (gelded), raced too freely when ninth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 12/1) 33 days ago. Improvement required. Down the field in two handicap attempts; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

LEAP YEAR LAD gained reward for some sound efforts in defeat when justifying favouritism at Hamilton, and the runner-up has given the form a boost by going one better at the same venue. Kevin Ryan's three-year-old is capable of continuing his forward momentum, although he comes up against some interesting handicap newcomers, not least Farhhfromforgotten, Hills Of Gold and easy Wolverhampton scorer Sophia's Starlight. Gone hasn't done too badly since making a successful reappearance at Lingfield and she is only 1lb higher now.

LEAP YEAR LAD has been holding his form well this year and finally opened his account when successful at Hamilton last time, so he could be able to score again now he's up and running. Farhhfromforgotten remains capable of better now handicapping and isn't taken lightly, with Gone completing the shortlist.

With his recent Class 6 form having substance, LEAP YEAR LAD (nap) is respected back up in grade. Hills Of Gold is feared most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (11/1 -120%) Trueman	11 11/1(-120%)	(2) Trueman 11/1, Twice-raced gelding. 11/2, first run since leaving William Haggas when third of 6 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Open to further improvement. Finished 2l third at Wetherby on reappearance; could well improve further.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +0%) Agnes Grey	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) Agnes Grey 3/1, Promising individual. First run since leaving Richard Fahey when third of 8 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 7/1) 16 days ago. Should progress again and likely to be on the premises. Has made the frame in two soft-ground events; one of the main players on form.
3	8 3rd (8) (1.1/1 +27%) Inverlochy	1.1 1.1/1(+27%)	(8) Inverlochy 1.1/1, Promising type. 5/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. Should improve. Form of sole 2yo effort reads very well; made an encouraging reappearance; respected.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 +39%) Dolores Abernathy	40 40/1(+39%)	(6) Dolores Abernathy 40/1, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 7 in minor event (33/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) on debut 28 days ago. Should have more to offer. Modest debut at Pontefract four weeks ago.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 -83%) Haworth Star	33 33/1(-83%)	(3) Haworth Star 33/1, 6,000 gns 2-y-o, Bated Breath gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 6f-7f winner Morning Duel and 2-y-o 6f winner Serradura. Worth monitoring in the betting. 6,000gns 2yo; one of three newcomers in the field; market instructive.
6th	7 6th (7) (3.5/1 +13%) Howyoulikemenow	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(7) Howyoulikemenow 3.5/1, Promising sort. 3/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 20 days ago. Likely to improve and makes plenty of appeal for shrewd stable. Close fifth in 6f AW maiden three weeks ago, shaping as if this longer trip will suit.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 +0%) Nwaira	14 14/1(+0%)	(10) Nwaira 14/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1) on debut 68 days ago. May well do better. Shaped with some promise at Newcastle in March; open to improvement.

Dam maiden (stayed 12.5f) out of smart winner up to 8.5f (2-y-o 5.7f winner) Katdogawn. Pedigree suggests he'll need longer trips and a handicap mark.
11th	11 11th (11) (66/1 -100%) Wowshesomthingelse	66 66/1(-100%)	(11) Wowshesomthingelse 66/1, 17,000 gns foal, Exceed And Excel filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Angelic Light. Dam 10.5f/11.5f winner. 17,000gns foal; half-sister to a 6f winner; market can guide.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Carlisle Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Trueman ran well when third at Wetherby over this trip on his first start for David O'Meara and is one to consider, but three-year-olds may have the edge at these weights with HOWYOULIKEMENOW likely to go well. Fifth on her only run at Wolverhampton, she ran on over the six furlongs to be beaten less than two lengths and may appreciate the seventh furlong here. Inverlochy is another to think about after her seasonal debut fourth at Lingfield.

HOWYOULIKEMENOW shaped with encouragement first time out and should learn plenty from it, so she takes preference over Agnes Grey and Inverlochy, who are also open to improvement.

The strong vote goes to INVERLOCHY, who remains very interesting on her 2yo effort. Howyoulikemenow is second choice.

Boasts excellent claims in a weak race. Maiden; would have gone close at Catterick last week but for meeting significant trouble.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.5/1 -27%) We Still Believe	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(6) We Still Believe 3.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. 4/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 20 days ago. Has made a positive start for current yard and should go well back on turf. Has form figures of 2102 (at Newcastle) for current stable; enters calculations.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

IOLANI has won and also placed numerous times over hurdles since his last run on the Flat and, as the only C&D winner in the field, he may be the one to beat off this mark. We Still Believe is the in-form option after his Newcastle second, but his best Flat form is over a furlong or more shorter which has to be a slight concern. Unlucky Catterick third Prince Achille is therefore put forward as the main danger.

WE STILL BELIEVE has made a sound start for his new yard and there could be more to come, so he gets the nod ahead of Prince Achille, who finished with running left at Catterick a week ago. Ghostly is another one to consider.

Granted better fortune, PRINCE ACHILLE could well open his account. We Still Believe is feared most.
