(5) Willing To Please 2/1, Course winner who has posted solid efforts the last twice, latest when third of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, closing all way to line. Return to longer trip should suit and holds strong claims.
2-3 at Carlisle, the wins gained off higher marks; respected back here.
LTO Selection:

13:10 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

BULLS AYE was caught on the line at Ayr last week and he looks the one to beat now turned out quickly off the same mark. Willing To Please arrives in good form having finished third at Hamilton and Pontefract last month and Philip Kirby's mare is feared most. Dandy's Angel is now only 1lb higher than her last triumph at Beverley in August and completes the shortlist.

This can go to WILLING TO PLEASE, who has acquitted herself well in recent starts and figures off a handy mark. Bulls Aye and Dandy's Angel rate the principal dangers.

Bulls Aye has a good chance, especially if proving less headstrong this time, but WILLING TO PLEASE is a solid alternative.

62,000gns yearling; plenty to like on paper and the yard is having debut winners.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Carlisle Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

KYLIAN made a promising start to his career when third at York last month and he should take some stopping if running to a similar level. Alfa Whiteburd only found the progressive Got To Love A Grey too strong at Nottingham in April and he should be in the mix once more. A bigger threat, however, could emerge from newcomer Lady Nunthorpe, who is a half-sister to the smart Walbank.

KYLIAN couldn't justify short odds when third on debut at York 16 days ago but that was still a very promising first effort and, with progress on the cards, he can make it second time lucky. There are appealing newcomers in opposition, including Desert Raider and Lady Nunthorpe, and they demand a check in the betting for clues.

Karl Burke's KYLIAN ran a highly promising first race at York despite failing favourite backers.

Career-best form for last month's win and had excuses back at Musselburgh latest.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Carlisle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Princess Karine filled the runner-up berth once again over course and distance recently, but a chance can be taken on HAVAGOMECCA. Michael Dods' mare couldn't recover from an awkward start at Musselburgh last month, nevertheless, she looked to have more races in her when winning there 10 days earlier. The in-form pair of Open Market and Iris Dancer also enter calculations.

PRINCESS KARINE has done little wrong in recent outings and can gain a deserved first success of the year here. Open Market and Havagomecca head the list of dangers.

Bryan Smart's PRINCESS KARINE (nap) deserves a break after getting nailed on the line here recently and a 3lb rise is imminent.

Tailed-off last on debut for this yard (7f) and has plenty to prove on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

14:50 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A step back up in trip can work the oracle for ZEBADAAY after a career-best effort when second at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. He can get the better of the unexposed Ceilidh, who put in a promising display on his return to action at Brighton recently, while Stormy Pearl is another who is capable of making the frame at this level. B Associates would be a key player as well if turned out quickly following his engagement here on Thursday.

B ASSOCIATES looks nicely treated (form franked since) on the back of last month's Musselburgh victory and is taken to score again. Zebadaay and Ceilidh can also make their presence felt.

Hughie Morrison's CEILIDH ran a bit better on his return at Brighton and this stiff 6f could work for him.

Having his 15th race when off the mark at Catterick, making pretty much all the running.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner at Catterick last week, LITTLE RED DANCER is taken to follow up, despite a 6lb penalty for that success. The three-year-old remains largely unexposed on turf and she may have too much for the likes of Captain Dandy and Bedazzling, who has over five lengths to make up from her recent clash with the selection. Beautron and Kasino are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

LITTLE RED DANCER upped her game to score at Catterick last week and her small stable has had another winner since, so she should have enough to defy a penalty in a weak race. Bedazzling was two places behind the selection that day but is well treated if able to build on it, so she's feared most ahead of Captain Dandy.

A chance is taken on BEDAZZLING, who was third to Little Red Dancer at Catterick and is now armed with a 9lb pull.

Minor promise at two; entitled to do better as a handicapper this season.
LTO Selection:

16:05 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A highly creditable third in a decent handicap at Haydock on her return, KRISTAL KLEAR must hold every chance if building on that effort with William Carver taking off a handy 3lb. The determined Leicester scorer United Force can give her the most to think about, along with Slippin Jimmy, who has only once been outside the first three in his last four starts.

SLIPPIN JIMMY returned with a solid effort at Newcastle and appeals as the type to do better as a 3yo, so he takes preference over last-time-out winner United Force, with Kristal Klear also of obvious interest.

The suggestion is SUNNY ORANGE, who ran well at Beverley before predictably struggling at York.

(3) Gunnerside 6/1, Course winner. Eight wins from 30 Flat runs. Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Fifth of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Still very much one to be interested in.
Still running well as had excuses last time and has not had many chances over this far.

Banner Road

33/1(-18%)
(8) Banner Road 33/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.
0-6; runner-up over 1m at Musselburgh and perhaps 6f was too sharp for her at Hamilton.

Earn Your Stripes

22/1(-10%)
(9) Earn Your Stripes 22/1, Bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Becoming well treated and more encouraging signs last time, so can't be dismissed.
Dual winner who has been below par when sent beyond 6f in the past.
LTO Selection:

16:45 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LA FEILE is the most obvious selection in this field after she was just touched off over 7f at Catterick last time. Off the same mark today, Richard Fahey's runner looks primed to offer another bold bid. Northbound should also be respected having been dropped 1lb in the ratings after his fourth over 7f at Wetherby, while Gunnerside heads the remainder.

LA FEILE ran a cracker when second in a better race than this at Catterick 8 days ago and looks capable of going one better from a handy mark. Gunnerside wasn't seen to best effect last time and is likely to step up, so he's a danger, and Northbound deserves respect on the back of a creditable effort at Wetherby.

This can go to LA FEILE. She defied a higher mark last year and did well to be second last time at Catterick after losing her position.

LTO Selection:

17:16 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 17f Race Class Flow

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

This is an open contest, but the most likely winner appears to be TWO AULD PALS. Jim Goldie's charge was a good second of six over 1m5f at Ayr last time and this extra yardage looks like it could be the perfect tonic. Tarbat Ness should also be thereabouts, with this drop in trip likely to be preferred having been stretched by the extended 2m5f at Pontefract when last seen, while Trailblazer also enters calculations.

TARBAT NESS has really upped his game this season and remains relatively low mileage. He can get off the mark. Two Auld Pals and Trailblazer look the likeliest dangers.

They may have dropped on something with TRAILBLAZER after just missing out at Musselburgh on his first try at 2m.

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.
