Dam 7f winner. 11/2, fourth of 10 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago. Made promising debut when fourth at Catterick last month; progress needed here, though.

Promising sort. Second of 10 in minor event (14/1) at Beverley (5f, good) on debut 34 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Open to progress and one to consider. Finished well for second over 5f on debut; seems sure to be suited by today's longer trip.
5th	9 5th (9) (3/1 +60%) Chumbaa	3 3/1(+60%)	(9) Chumbaa 3/1, Fair filly. 11/2, very good second of 5 in minor event at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Relatively exposed, but place claim on form. Placed on four of seven starts; vulnerable to anything fairly useful but should run well.

LTO Selection:

14:20 Carlisle Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Chumbaa continues to run well in defeat and is likely to be in the thick of things once more, while Project Geofin looks set to take a step forward having hit the woodwork on his racecourse bow. Marginal preference, however, is for BACK BEFORE DARK. Grant Tuer's filly finished a creditable fourth over 5f at Catterick last month, but she's bred to appreciate further and this stiff finish can play to her strengths. A son of Champions Sprint winner Donjuan Triumphant, Coin Power warrants a market check ahead of his debut.

PROJECT GEOFIN really caught the after an awkward start on debut at Beverley a month ago, finishing with running left. He could easily take a step forward nudged up in trip. Roswood and The Good Biscuit are the interesting newcomers, and Chumbaa isn't out of it on form.

Geoff Oldroyd's PROJECT GEOFIN finished well from a poor position to take second on his debut, and that form has worked out well.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +44%) Angel From Above	5 5/1(+44%)	(2) Angel From Above 5/1, Ignored in the betting but displayed ability when third of 7 in maiden at Ayr (8f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve but drop in trip far from certain to suit. Kept on for never-dangerous third over 1m on debut; not an obvious candidate for sprinting.
2	5 2nd (5) (1/1 +33%) Lady Dreamer	1 1/1(+33%)	(5) Lady Dreamer 1/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8 and tongue strap on for first time, good second of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Sets a good standard but could be vulnerable to an improver. Runner-up on three of her four starts and has another big role to play here.
3	4 3rd (4) (80/1 +0%) Canaria Queen	80 80/1(+0%)	(4) Canaria Queen 80/1, Too green to show much when seventh of 9 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago. Struggled to get competitive when 40-1 for recent debut at Catterick (6f).
4	1 4th (1) (22/1 -57%) Sky High Girl	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Sky High Girl 22/1, Muhaarar filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner, sister to high-class winner up to 6.5f Hoof It. Makes debut late in the day. Has good sprinting pedigree; market support will make her of interest.
5th	6 5th (6) (66/1 +18%) Opal Storm	66 66/1(+18%)	(6) Opal Storm 66/1, Hot Streak filly. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Third foal from a fair 5f winner; seems unlikely to meet the required standard on debut..
6th	3 6th (3) (1.62/1 -95%) Bugle Beads	1.62 1.62/1(-95%)	(3) Bugle Beads 1.62/1, Highly-promising sort. 5/1, fifth of 12 in noviv=ce event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago, denied a clear run on more than one occasion. In top hands and open to significant improvement. Behind Lady Dreamer when fifth on recent debut but is very likely to build on that run.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Carlisle Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LADY DREAMER (second) finished ahead of Bugle Beads (fifth) at Windsor a fortnight ago and the daughter of Dandy Man, who sets a useful standard, can uphold that form en route to a first career success. Sky High Girl should appreciate this initial stamina test judged on pedigree and must be considered on her racecourse debut, while Angel From Above heads the remainder.

BUGLE BEADS caught the eye in a major way starting out at Windsor a fortnight ago, denied a clear run and not given a hard time. Expected to take a marked step up, she can improve beyond the standard-setting filly Lady Dreamer.

Lady Dreamer was ahead of BUGLE BEADS at Windsor but the Haggas filly can improve past her here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (7.5/1 +25%) Gentle Ellen	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(2) Gentle Ellen 7.5/1, 33/1, last of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Marked drop back in trip needs to spark a revival. Always behind when tried over 1m last month and tricky to weight up on return to sprinting.
2	10 2nd (10) (6.5/1 +0%) Stormy Pearl	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(10) Stormy Pearl 6.5/1, 10/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago, that despite being poorly drawn. Now operating 1 lb below last winning mark and she's worth a second look with Paul Mulrennan back in the plate. Began this season with two very respectable runs and goes on the shortlist.
3	9 3rd (9) (7.5/1 +32%) Sharrabang	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(9) Sharrabang 7.5/1, Course winner. 9/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, weakening final 1f. Clearly in good heart at present and return to 6f will hold no fears. No win since spring 2021 but placed twice month and is suited by this track.
4	8 4th (8) (2/1 +11%) Tammany Hall	2 2/1(+11%)	(8) Tammany Hall 2/1, Boasts just one win from 28 Flat runs but he comes here having run best race of present campaign when fifth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 12 days ago. Interesting connections pitch him in here from career-low mark and he's worth considering. On a long losing run but ran well in a big field 12 days ago and enters calculations.
5th	11 5th (11) (33/1 -106%) Made Of Lir	33 33/1(-106%)	(11) Made Of Lir 33/1, Dual winner on AW for Archie Watson who ran best race for present yard from much-reduced mark when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 40/1) 13 days ago. Eased further 2 lb ahead of this but she'll need to build on that now. Seemed to have turned a corner when keeping-on fourth at Wetherby recently; interesting.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 +38%) Shabaaby	10 10/1(+38%)	(1) Shabaaby 10/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 11/1) 26 days ago, ridden before halfway and unable to land a blow. Visor back on and now operating 4 lb below last winning mark. Ran on well for third in early May but both runs since have been underwhelming.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 -22%) Cawthornes Gem	22 22/1(-22%)	(4) Cawthornes Gem 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 18/1) 18 days ago, never on terms. Cheekpieces/tongue tie reached for now. Remains unexposed but never really got involved when 18-1 for recent handicap debut.
8th	7 8th (7) (3.5/1 +30%) Basholo	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(7) Basholo 3.5/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Widest draw possibly not ideal here. Has modest strike-rate but was placed twice last month and probably won't be far away.
9th	3 9th (3) (9/1 +10%) Little Earl	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Little Earl 9/1, Untrustworthy individual. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 10 days ago, not ideally placed from a poor draw. Regressive 4yo who is yet to be placed after seven runs for current stable.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It might have been a while since SHARRABANG last tasted success, but Stella Barclay's gelding has been knocking on the door in recent starts and would hold every chance if running to the level that saw him hit the frame at Beverley last month. He edges the vote over Basholo, while Made Of Lir shouldn't be written off from a handy mark.

Irish-raider TAMMANY HALL ran his best race of the present campaign when fifth in a big-field Curragh handicap 12 days ago, and from a career-low mark, he could well be up to doubling his career tally. Stormy Pearl ran creditably without being seen to best effect at Ripon recently and is a threat, with Variety Island and Sharrabang completing the shortlist.

After arresting her decline with an encouraging fourth at Wetherby a fortnight ago, MADE OF LIR might come good for Sam England here.

1	1 1st (1) (1.38/1 -10%) Alpina Express	1.38 1.38/1(-10%)	(1) Alpina Express 1.38/1, After 9 weeks off, made winning turf/handicap debut in 9-runner event at Ayr (10f, firm, 6/1) 6 days ago, comfortably. Open to further progress and she can follow up under a penalty. Made a winning handicap debut without much fuss last week; obvious claims under a penalty.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +8%) Optician	6 6/1(+8%)	(6) Optician 6/1, Ran well when third of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, 25/1) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Could still have more to offer over this even longer trip. Unable to land a blow from off the pace latest (1m2f) but that was encouraging.
3	3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 +54%) Sutue Alshams	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(3) Sutue Alshams 5.5/1, Shaped bit better than distance beaten suggests when last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm, 5/1) 17 days ago, headed when hampered over 2f out. Others still look stronger, though. Hasn't looked a thorough stayer over 1m3f/1m4f this season.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 +25%) Dragonball Prince	9 9/1(+25%)	(2) Dragonball Prince 9/1, Below form both starts so far this season, in first-time visor when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good, 18/1) 23 days ago. Has a bit to prove at present. Close up off 5lb higher at Wolverhampton in November but hasn't offered much since then.
5th	5 5th (5) (7.5/1 -50%) Timewave	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(5) Timewave 7.5/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year, latest success at Southwell in April. Possibly unsuited by conditions when fifth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 17/2) 51 days ago. Could get back on track. 2-4 in handicaps; his first run on soft ground when disappointing last time.
6th	4 6th (4) (4.5/1 -29%) Time Traveller	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(4) Time Traveller 4.5/1, Upped in trip, got back back on track when second of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 7/2) 19 days ago. Can give another good account as he goes further up in distance. Signs of finding his level when going close at Hamilton; longer trip here but can go close.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

ALPINA EXPRESS looked ahead of her mark when winning with authority on her handicap debut at Ayr on Tuesday and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent back-to-back victories. Time Traveller offered more encouragement when collared late on at Hamilton last month and rates as the chief threat racing off the same mark here, while Optician could improve for this extra distance and completes the shortlist.

ALPINA EXPRESS took a big step forward when winning on her turf/handicap debut at Ayr 6 days ago and, with further improvement to come, she can score again under a penalty. Optician could have more to offer upped further in trip and is feared most, ahead of Time Traveller

It was fairly comfortable for ALPINA EXPRESS at Ayr last week and she can defy the penalty.

1	3 1st (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Gibside	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(3) Gibside 4.5/1, Pair of 1½m Ripon wins last summer. Probably needed the run when fifth of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (1½m, heavy) on reappearance 44 days ago and should be sharper now. Dual winner at Ripon last summer; soft ground the excuse for last month's low-key return.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.5/1 +38%) Graces Quest	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(1) Graces Quest 2.5/1, Won this race last year and added another C&D win at the beginning of this month. Has shown enough in her 2 outings since to think she's still in form. Dual C&D winner; below form after racing too freely on Wednesday but can bounce back.
3	6 3rd (6) (5.5/1 -10%) Peripeteia	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(6) Peripeteia 5.5/1, 10/1, respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (1½m, good to firm) 23 days ago. On a good mark if recapturing the pick of last year's form. Won three times in second half of 2022 and latest run hinted at possible return to form.
4	7 4th (7) (3.33/1 +26%) We Still Believe	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(7) We Still Believe 3.33/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March and runner-up back at Newcastle and over C&D last month. Better than his recent last of 5 over hurdles suggests. Considered. AW winner in March and went very close over C&D last month; up in grade today.
5th	8 5th (8) (18/1 +28%) Robin Goodfellow	18 18/1(+28%)	(8) Robin Goodfellow 18/1, 33/1, 3½ lengths fifth of 6 to Graces Quest in C&D handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago. Something to find on form. Not beaten far over C&D this month but remains difficult to enthuse over.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -186%) Iconique	10 10/1(-186%)	(5) Iconique 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (1½m) 14 days ago, well positioned. Posted sound effort when placed on Tapeta two weeks ago and should be okay back on turf.
7th	4 7th (4) (6.5/1 -30%) Glittering Choice	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(4) Glittering Choice 6.5/1, Course winner. 11/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) in January. Likely to be competitive if ready to roll after 144 days off. Has fitness to prove after 144-day break but won off 2lb higher here last summer.

LTO Selection:

16:20 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

PERIPETEIA was beaten just under three lengths at Haydock last time and a further 2lb fall in the ratings, combined with a drop in class, may see the five-year-old regain the winning thread. Gibside is now only 2lb higher than his August triumph at Ripon and can figure if coming on for his reappearance at Doncaster in May. Graces Quest won over C&D at the start of the month and may fare better than latest efforts now returned to this venue.

WE STILL BELIEVE was only narrowly denied over C&D on his latest Flat start and might prove the answer to this Class 6 handicap. Phil Kirby's Peripeteia is back on a winning mark and is second choice ahead of dual C&D scorer Graces Quest.

The pick is GLITTERING CHOICE, who won off 2lb higher here last summer and has gone well when fresh before.

1	4 1st (4) (3.5/1 +13%) Platinum Girl	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(4) Platinum Girl 3.5/1, Winner at Wetherby in May. Respectable second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm, evens) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Not taken lightly. Backed up last month's Wetherby with with a good second; others may have more potential.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 +17%) Vixey	10 10/1(+17%)	(3) Vixey 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 13/2). Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut. Likely to need the run. Placed over 6f on all three 2yo starts; can progress this year but has fitness to prove.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 +44%) One Of Our Own	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) One Of Our Own 9/1, Creditable third of 6 in seller (3/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 10 days ago. Needs to up her game to land this. Not beaten far in a recent 6f seller but is 0-11 now and needs to up her game here.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 +11%) Granny B	8 8/1(+11%)	(6) Granny B 8/1, 11/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 10 days ago, well drawn. Others look better treated. 0-7, but made quite pleasing seasonal debut over 6f and is still uneposed at around 7f.
5th	5 5th (5) (2.5/1 +0%) Purple Martini	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(5) Purple Martini 2.5/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 11/8, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 45 days ago, pushed out. On a lenient mark. 2-3 this season, and beat two subsequent triple winners at Musselburgh last time.
6th	1 6th (1) (4.5/1 -13%) In The Giving	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(1) In The Giving 4.5/1, 6/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Placed off this mark at Windsor (6f) this month and today's longer trip will suit.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 +20%) Debater	8 8/1(+20%)	(7) Debater 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 35 days ago. Tongue strap back on. More required. Just a respectable sixth on seasonal debut but remains unexposed; tries a new trip here.
8th	2 8th (2) (40/1 -344%) Mai Alward	40 40/1(-344%)	(2) Mai Alward 40/1, Won 10-runner minor event (5/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Makes handicap debut. Worth a market check starting out for another shrewd yard. Won AW novice last June but not seen again since; now with new stable.

LTO Selection:

16:53 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Although Purple Martini arrives with recent winning form after scoring at Musselburgh, she is stepping up in class off a mark 4lb higher and may prove vulnerable. IN THE GIVING met trouble in running before coming home third at Windsor last time and the 7f trip here could prove ideal. She gets the vote ahead of Mai Alward, who signed off last season with a comfortable success and now makes her stable debut for Tristan Davidson.

PURPLE MARTINI has had an excellent start to the season and had something to spare when scoring at Musselburgh, so she makes most appeal in a weak race. Platinum Girl is the danger but In The Giving is worthy of respect for a top yard that has few runners at this track.

There is still more to come from PURPLE MARTINI (nap), who beat a pair of subsequent triple winners at Musselburgh last month.

Off 8 months but resumes on a 2 lb lower mark and will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward. Fourth in quite valuable series final in September and resumes on a 2lb lower mark.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +40%) Cloch Nua	3 3/1(+40%)	(4) Cloch Nua 3/1, 7/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Looks capable of winning a race on turf judged on that evidence and he's not ruled out. Dual AW winner in the autumn and placed off today's mark when back on turf last month.
3	5 3rd (5) (50/1 -150%) Blame The Farrier	50 50/1(-150%)	(5) Blame The Farrier 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 6 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to soft, 80/1) 50 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Yet to show anything more than minor promise in bumpers/over hurdles or on the Flat.
4	10 4th (10) (5.5/1 +21%) Royal Prospect	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(10) Royal Prospect 5.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 25/1) 20 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run and, now 1 lb below last winning mark, he needs considering at a course that he clearly likes (form figures here read 4319114). Dual C&D winner last summer and made encouraging seasonal debut last month.
5th	9 5th (9) (8/1 +60%) Tangled	8 8/1(+60%)	(9) Tangled 8/1, C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Ayr (7.2f, firm) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and while he's capable of going well off this mark, others look stronger. Tuesday's run hinted at a possible return to form, and he's very well suited by this C&D.
6th	6 6th (6) (3.33/1 +33%) Shahnaz	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(6) Shahnaz 3.33/1, 4/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Now 5 lb lower than for her C&D success last summer and she's one to consider. Yet to hit top gear this season but this C&D winner has slipped to a good mark.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 +70%) Mi Capricho	12 12/1(+70%)	(8) Mi Capricho 12/1, Last of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, firm, 9/2) 5 days ago, having run of race. Tongue strap on 1st time and will need to raise his game in order to resume winning ways in this contest. Failed to win in 2022 and has performed poorly on both appearances this year.

LTO Selection:

17:27 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It may prove best to side with ROYAL PROSPECT, who likes it here with two C&D wins to his name, the latest off 1lb higher than his current mark. He wasn't at his best last month at Redcar, but that was his first start since October last year and he may find some improvement. Floral Splendour was beaten a length at Beverley earlier this month and looks a huge rival in this field, despite an added 1lb from the handicapper. Shahnaz also has a chance if she can get back to her best 2022 form.

The vote goes to ROYAL PROSPECT, who is 3-7 at this track and should be spot-on following an encouraging reappearance spin at Redcar at the end of last month. Like the selection, Shahnaz was successful over this C&D off a higher mark in 2022 and shaped as though coming back to the boil at Hamilton recently. She is feared most ahead of Floral Splendour, who returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Beverley, and Albegrey.

C&D winner SHAHNAZ, who posted a sound effort at Hamilton recently and looks ready to capitalise upon some help from the handicapper.

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.

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.
