The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(6) White Rhino 10/3, Much improved when sent handicapping last season, completing a hat-trick around 2½m and creditable second at Southwell final start (would have been closer but for blundering last).

14
2nd (14) (18/1 -29%) Dalileo
18
18/1(-29%)
(14) Dalileo 18/1, Reached the frame for the sixth time this season when 1¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Eloi Du Puy at Kelso 11 days ago but that took his overall record to 1-29 and others are preferred for win purposes again.

3rd (3) (40/1 -233%) Bon Retour
40
40/1(-233%)
(3) Bon Retour 40/1, Dual winner for Nicky Richards last summer. Has yet to fire for her new stable but is starting to look well treated again.
4

4th (2) (4/1 +20%) Sacchoandvanzetti
4
4/1(+20%)
(2) Sacchoandvanzetti 4/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for John Queally and good runner-up efforts on all 3 starts since joining Fergal O'Brien. Likely to be in the shake-up again.
5th
5
5th (5) (9/2 +10%) Heross Du Seuil
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(5) Heross Du Seuil 9/2, Left first 3 runs for this yard behind when successful at Uttoxeter (2½m) last month and backed it up when narrowly denied at Southwell 16 days ago. Claims if in similar form.
6th
4
6th (4) (13/2 +7%) Kingston Bridge
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(4) Kingston Bridge 13/2, Bumper winner who showed a likeable attitude to get off the mark in this sphere over 19f here in March. Improved again when second of 14 in 2½m Perth handicap the following month. This unexposed sort has the potential for better again on his return.
7th
7
7th (7) (22/1 +12%) Applaus
22
22/1(+12%)
(7) Applaus 22/1, Untrustworthy veteran but he did score twice over 17f here last winter (also second in April). Well beaten back from a break last month but may fare better at a venue which clearly suits.
8th
13
8th (13) (8/1 +64%) Heritier De Sivola
8
8/1(+64%)
(13) Heritier De Sivola 8/1, Maiden Irish pointer who showed improved form when making all in a novice handicap at Kelso (22.5f) in December. Even better form in defeat at Wetherby on next 2 starts but off since a disappointing run there in March.
9
9
|U| (9) (15/2 -15%) Skip Mahler
7.5
15/2(-15%)
(9) Skip Mahler 15/2, Arrives on the back of placed efforts in Ireland but his British mark demands some improvement.
8
8
|PU| (8) (9/1 +10%) Diamond State
9
9/1(+10%)
(8) Diamond State 9/1, Mostly in good form over fences last season, including a 2m win at Musselburgh. Reverts to hurdles on his return with his yard in fine form. Has gone well fresh before. Might be the answer back from wind surgery.
LTO Selection:
13:20 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Preference is for the lightly raced KINGSTON BRIDGE, who won a maiden hurdle here in March and is open to further improvement.
(3) Nells Son 3/1, Useful novice hurdler (Grade 2 winner). This didn't go entirely to plan following a solid second on return/chase debut last autumn but he returns to action from what rates a good mark and he's worth a second look boasting a good record fresh. Fair efforts over hurdles at big spring festivals; reverts to fences; could have a say.
2
6
2nd (6) (16/1 -14%) Glory And Honour
16
16/1(-14%)
(6) Glory And Honour 16/1, Made a winning start for his new yard in 2m1f handicap chase at Cartmel in August and placed both outings since, 2¾ lengths second of 4 to Fringill Dike in handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good to soft, 10/3) 31 days ago. May come up short in this field. Has done well over fences for new yard but probably vulnerable in this tougher race.
3
4
3rd (4) (11/2 +45%) Western Zephyr
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(4) Western Zephyr 11/2, Point/bumper winner who made it 3 wins from 6 starts over hurdles with his sights lowered, landing 7-runner Huntingdon novice (15.8f) in April, knuckling down well under this rider. Interesting what the market makes of him now attentions switch to larger obstacles. Point, bumper and three-time hurdle winner; could relish the switch to fences.
4
1
4th (1) (17/2 -21%) Benson
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(1) Benson 17/2, Good advert for his yard, confirming previous promise when resuming winning ways at Musselburgh (19.8f) on New Year's Day and followed up in Morebattle at Kelso in March. Couldn't complete hat-trick in Coral Cup thereafter but goes chasing now with yard amongst the winners and respected. Two hurdle wins last season; player if transferring ability to fences at the first attempt.
5th
7
5th (7) (16/1 -45%) Dancewiththewind
16
16/1(-45%)
(7) Dancewiththewind 16/1, Proved he retains all his ability following lengthy absence with back-to-back handicap hurdles at around 2m last winter. Shade underwhelming in 2 starts thereafter during the spring but he's a former point winner and Brian Hughes an eye-catching booking on return/chase bow. His stable's two reappearing runners this month have both run big races; one to consider.
2
2
|F| (2) (5/1 +29%) Fringill Dike
5
5/1(+29%)
(2) Fringill Dike 5/1, Multiple hurdles winner who has made a fine start over fences (in blinkers) this summer, essentially jumping soundly when completing hat-trick at Worcester (16.5f) 31 days ago, by 2¾ lengths from Glory And Honour. Likely there's more to come. 3-3 over fences; tougher opposition here but clearly thriving and has to be respected.
5
5
|F| (5) (7/4 -27%) Snake Roll
1.75
7/4(-27%)
(5) Snake Roll 7/4, Ex-pointer who ran out wide-margin winner of 2 of first 3 starts over hurdles last year and finished good third in Kelso Grade 2 on penultimate outing in March. Best not judged too harshly on odds-on reversal at Perth final start and he's an interesting chase debutant. Two-time hurdle winner who was runner-up in a point and could improve now tackling fences.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The selection is point, bumper and three-time hurdle winner WESTERN ZEPHYR. Snake Roll also has considerable potential for fences.
(5) Making Headway 13/8, £35,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, second foal, dam, no ability in bumpers/over hurdles, sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Volador and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 27f) Whatdoesthefoxsay. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points last November and warrants respect on NH debut. Won by 3l in November 2022 in his second Irish point (soft); £50,000 buy later that month.
2
11
2nd (11) (9/1 +55%) To Chase A Dream
9
9/1(+55%)
(11) To Chase A Dream 9/1, First foal, dam bumper winner. Off the mark on second of 2 starts in point bumpers last February but will likely be one for the future. Ran in two British point bumpers in February, odds-on winner on second occasion.
3
7
3rd (7) (9/2 +25%) Recoded
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(7) Recoded 9/2, Offfered plenty to work on when third of 11 in bumper at Ayr (16f, good, 16/1) on NH bow in April and is an interesting hurdles debutant. Flat bred; 16-1 and tongue tied when third of 11 in bumper at Ayr (2m, good) in April.
4
1
4th (1) (9/4 -13%) Cabhfuilfungi
2.25
9/4(-13%)
(1) Cabhfuilfungi 9/4, Made a good start for Gary Hanmer, building on his Southwell placed efforts with victory in maiden at same course (20.4f) in May. Warrants respect despite having to concede weight all round. Placed twice before winning comfortably when 4-7 over 2m4f in May, all at Southwell.
5th
10
5th (10) (9/2 +78%) Am Still Here
4.5
9/2(+78%)
(10) Am Still Here 9/2, €16,000 3-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Lihyan. Dam unraced, closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) I'm All You Need. Yard's debutants always command respect. 16,000euros 3yo; second foal; half-brother to fair 2m1f hurdle winner Lihyan; strong yard.
6th
4
6th (4) (50/1 -25%) Iturgeon Du Breuil
50
50/1(-25%)
(4) Iturgeon Du Breuil 50/1, €10,000 3-y-o, £10,000 5-y-o, Turgeon gelding. Dam, unraced, sister to winning hurdler/chaser (15f-2¼m winner) Mandina. Placed in Irish point in May. Likely one for longer term. Ran in two Irish points, better effort in May (good) when last seen; £10,000 buy in August.
8
8
|U| (8) (125/1 +50%) Scalloway Bay
125
125/1(+50%)
(8) Scalloway Bay 125/1, No show in sole bumper or hurdles outing and can only be watched on return from 22 months off. Struggled in autumn 2021 in bumper at Carlisle (soft) and novice hurdle at Ayr (2m, good).
12
12
|U| (12) (250/1 +0%) Ile De Memoires
250
250/1(+0%)
(12) Ile De Memoires 250/1, No impact in 4 starts over timber and is readily opposed. Low-level form after one bumper and four hurdle races, handicap debut (2m4f, soft) latest.
2
2
|PU| (2) (125/1 -25%) C The Bunny Run
125
125/1(-25%)
(2) C The Bunny Run 125/1, Gone with little promise in a couple of outings at Kelso recently and is likely a longer-term project. Pulled up in two hurdles races (2m5f and 2m) at Kelso recently; now has tongue tied.
LTO Selection:
14:25 Carlisle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Irish-trained RECODED shaped nicely in an Ayr bumper. Cabhfuilfungi and Easter Junction have shown significant ability hurdling.
14:25 Carlisle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(8) Supremely West 7/4, Unplaced in points, but looked good when winning all 3 starts in bumpers last season. Turned over when odds on for hurdles debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft) on latest start in May and while he's almost certainly capable of better, a stiffer test would probably be ideal. 3-3 in bumpers; needs to jump better than he did on hurdling debut in May.
2
4
2nd (4) (5/2 +29%) Land Genie
2.5
5/2(+29%)
(4) Land Genie 5/2, Half-brother to unbeaten Champion Hurdler Constitution Hill and made a winning start to his career in a Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) bumper during the spring. Has the makings of a potentially useful novice hurdler. Tongue strap applied. Half-brother to superstar Constitution Hill; got up late on in maiden bumper at Huntingdon.
3
3
3rd (3) (7/2 -56%) Fizzle Rock
3.5
7/2(-56%)
(3) Fizzle Rock 7/2, Down Royal bumper winner in 2021 and made it fourth time lucky over hurdles in 20.4f Sligo maiden in August, making all. Solid third in a Listowel handicap since and this Irish raider could take some catching back down in trip here if allowed her own way in front. Sets the standard on hurdles form but it's not a daunting one; not proven on soft.
4
9
4th (9) (4/1 +20%) Titan Discovery
4
4/1(+20%)
(9) Titan Discovery 4/1, Brother to useful dual-bumper winner Lunar Discovery and showed a fair level of ability in that sphere when runner-up under contrasting conditions at Newbury and Stratford last term. Could have a part to play on hurdles debut if his jumping passes the test. 2nd in both bumpers but needs to improve markedly upon that form; stable among the winners.
5th
6
5th (6) (33/1 +34%) Mr Hope Street
33
33/1(+34%)
(6) Mr Hope Street 33/1, Modest form in a couple of bumpers and safely held starting out over hurdles at Uttoxeter 11 days ago. Made hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (28-2) 11 days ago behind warm favourite from same stable.
6th
2
6th (2) (200/1 -60%) Fat Harry
200
200/1(-60%)
(2) Fat Harry 200/1, Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Silva Eclipse, but there were very few positives to take from his Bangor debut 15 days ago. Should come on from Bangor run (2m, soft) 15 days ago but he was 66-1 and soundly beaten.
7th
7
7th (7) (20/1 +29%) Nab Wood
20
20/1(+29%)
(7) Nab Wood 20/1, Clear signs of ability when sixth in an 8-runner Newcastle novice (16.9f, good) on debut in May, probably not helped by the muddling nature of that race (took a strong hold). Likely to do better in handicaps further down the line. From a major yard but 28-1 and well held in a novice at Newcastle (2m1f, good) in May.
8th
11
8th (11) (150/1 +0%) Kurphy
150
150/1(+0%)
(11) Kurphy 150/1, Well held in pair of bumpers and similar story in maiden hurdles at Perth and Kelso this year. Down the field in Irish bumpers and beaten 37l in her two Scottish maiden hurdles.
9th
1
9th (1) (250/1 -100%) Captain Copper
250
250/1(-100%)
(1) Captain Copper 250/1, Failed to trouble the judge in a handful of runs between the flags and showed nothing on recent Rules debut at Uttoxeter. Fourth was his best in maiden points; 100-1, showed little in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter.
5
5
|PU| (5) (50/1 +24%) Lord Denning
50
50/1(+24%)
(5) Lord Denning 50/1, Fetched €45,000 as a 3-y-o and boasts a decent jumps pedigree, albeit one which suggests that he may require a stiffer test before long. 45,000euros 3yo; dam has a good producing record; on debut, probably best watched.
10
10
|PU| (10) (80/1 -300%) Mademewhatiam
80
80/1(-300%)
(10) Mademewhatiam 80/1, Beaten a fair way both starts between the flags and likewise starting out under Rules in a 16.2f Hexham novice in May. However, he did catch the eye that day (encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage) and likely to leave that form well behind in time. Ran in point bumpers and 2m novice hurdle at Hexham; needs to leave that form way behind.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Carlisle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Land Genie has to be of interest after winning his sole bumper at Huntingdon in April and he is certainly one to watch here on his hurdling bow. That said, it might be worth giving SUPREMELY WEST another chance. The winner of three bumpers, he was sent off odds-on for his hurdling bow at Warwick when failing to jump with any fluency before finishing second, but he is sure to have been well-schooled since and may do better now. Titan Discovery and Fizzle Rock are others to watch in a race that could be full of future winners.
The vote goes to Irish-raider FIZZLE ROCK, who proved that her Sligo maiden success was no flash in the pan when finishing third in an 11-runner mares' handicap at Listowel last month. Dropping back in trip on this stiff track will, if anything, be in her favour and she will take some pegging back. Bumper-winner Land Genie is of strong interest now switched to hurdles and is feared most ahead of Supremely West and Titan Discovery.
The Irish mare Fizzle Rock has won in this sphere but could be vulnerable to Supremely West and LAND GENIE.
15:00 Carlisle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Guetapan Collonges 6/1, Developed into a useful staying handicap chaser in 2022/23, winning twice (including on his return) and also finishing fourth in both the Classic Chase at Warwick and Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter. Leading contender back down in grade. Progressive 7yo who won twice last season and is firmly in calculations on comeback run.
2
11
2nd (11) (7/1 +7%) Wasdell Dundalk
7
7/1(+7%)
(11) Wasdell Dundalk 7/1, Has relished the step up to 3m over fences this season, completing a hat-trick at Perth in August/September. Remains on a workable mark based on old form (previously trained by Jonjo O'Neill), so he can make his presence felt. Resurgent at Perth lately; this is tougher but he remains well treated on old form.
3
6
3rd (6) (14/1 +0%) Silver In Disguise
14
14/1(+0%)
(6) Silver In Disguise 14/1, Took advantage of reduced mark at Wetherby (24.2f) in April and backed that up when second at Perth later the same month. In a share of third before making a bad mistake 3 out when pulled up at Uttoxeter last time, so he could go well if ready to go on return. In top form in April and has a chance if fully tuned up on his return.
4
12
4th (12) (10/1 +0%) Court Dreaming
10
10/1(+0%)
(12) Court Dreaming 10/1, Having dropped in the weights, landed this corresponding race for the second time in 3 years last season. Below form over hurdles on his last 2 outings, but no surprise to see him fare better back over fences racing off the same mark as last year's success. Won this in 2020 and last year; soft or heavy ground would be a concern.
5th
8
5th (8) (7/1 +22%) Ned Tanner
7
7/1(+22%)
(8) Ned Tanner 7/1, Dual hurdles winner and also won twice over fences last season, scoring in small-field novice handicap chases at Kelso (23.4f) on both occasions. Unsuited by emphasis on speed when runner-up at Haydock (19.9f) in March, so he could still have more to offer back up in trip. Two wins during last season's novice campaign and he's open to further improvement.
6th
2
6th (2) (4/1 +60%) Mexico
4
4/1(+60%)
(2) Mexico 4/1, Bumper winner who scored twice over hurdles last season, suited by the step up in trip when successful in novice at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in April. Found life tougher in handicap at Aintree next time, but he remains unexposed as a stayer as he makes his chase debut. 2-time novice hurdle winner; unexposed as a stayer but this is a tough task on chase debut.
3
3
|PU| (3) (4/1 +56%) Morning Spirit
4
4/1(+56%)
(3) Morning Spirit 4/1, Off the mark over fences at this C&D in November last year but in-and-out form since, leaving behind a lesser effort when fourth at Uttoxeter (3m) in May (made a significant mistake at the last). Cheekpieces back on and he's capable of getting involved if on a going day. Won off this mark over C&D last November and could be thereabouts on return to action.
10
10
|PU| (10) (11/2 +61%) East Street
5.5
11/2(+61%)
(10) East Street 11/2, Fairly useful winner over hurdles and ran to a similar level switched to chasing last season, getting off the mark over fences in handicap at Wetherby (24.2f) in March. Ran creditably when third at Newcastle next time, but will need to find more on his return. Promise during last season's novice campaign but he needs something extra on this return.
9
9
|PU| (9) (16/1 +52%) Dallas Des Pictons
16
16/1(+52%)
(9) Dallas Des Pictons 16/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his best and, having dropped to a career-low mark, caused a surprise when getting back to winning ways over hurdles at Hexham (20.1f) last month. However, not in the same form 2 weeks later. Others preferred returned to chasing. Second in this last year and won two starts ago, but well beaten since; others more solid.
LTO Selection:
15:35 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Court Dreaming won this last year when landing the odds for favourite backers and races off the same mark. Although he has raced three times without success since, they have all been over hurdles and the return to fences might see him in a better light. However, WASDELL DUNDALK is hard to oppose after landing his hat-trick easily at Perth last month, with an added 6lb unlikely to stop a follow up victory. Guetapan Collonges, Ned Tanner and East Street could all have a say on their return to action.
GUETAPAN COLLONGES showed improved form last season, scoring in handicaps at Warwick and Uttoxeter, and he can make a winning return for the second successive campaign having been given a chance by the handicapper. There could still be more to come from Your Own Story as a stayer and he heads the list of dangers, ahead of Wasdell Dundalk.
The resurgent WASDELL DUNDALK remains on a good mark on his old form and is taken to make it four wins in a row.
(5) Royal Rhythm 5/1, Scored over 2m at Clonmel in March for Philip Rothwell. Back from 6 months off but he's still one to consider for his new yard. Won twice over hurdles in Ireland for P. Rothwell; stays well; first run for J J O'Neill..
2
1
2nd (1) (9/1 +10%) Vocal Duke
9
9/1(+10%)
(1) Vocal Duke 9/1, Arrives out of sorts, only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, heavy) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time with lots more needed. Easing in the weights and drops in grade sporting first-time cheekpieces; needs a revival..
3
13
3rd (13) (6/1 +57%) Burrows Hall
6
6/1(+57%)
(13) Burrows Hall 6/1, C&D winner but off since pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft) later in April. Has a bit to prove after his lay-off. Won here (inner track) in April; valid excuse (bled) next time; chance if back on song..
4
10
4th (10) (10/1 +17%) Enemy At The Gate
10
10/1(+17%)
(10) Enemy At The Gate 10/1, Fair maiden hurdler but off 6 months since a below-form third in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft). Needs to hit the ground running. Went close at Newcastle (2m4f; first-time tongue-tie) in March; less competitive next time.
5th
14
5th (14) (11/1 +31%) Serious Ego
11
11/1(+31%)
(14) Serious Ego 11/1, It's now fourteen runs since his last win in 2021 but he wasn't discredited when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 159 days ago. No forlorn hope after a break. Twice shaped well (here & Hexham) from a much reduced mark earlier in the year; a possible.
6th
8
6th (8) (7/4 +0%) Kilbrainy
1.75
7/4(+0%)
(8) Kilbrainy 7/4, Got off the mark in impressive style after 4 months off in conditional jockeys' handicap at Kelso (20.9f, soft) 11 days ago. Escapes a penalty so he holds leading claims. Escapes a penalty (due an 8lb rise) for a recent smooth Kelso win; rock-solid credentials..
7th
9
7th (9) (33/1 -175%) Mutadaawel
33
33/1(-175%)
(9) Mutadaawel 33/1, Dual 1m winner on the Flat. Posted a good sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft) 33 days ago but no easy ask off a 9 lb higher mark here. Three Flat wins (all 1m); has shown some ability over hurdles; fair fifth at Navan latest..
2
2
|PU| (2) (10/1 +29%) Caldwell
10
10/1(+29%)
(2) Caldwell 10/1, Below par when last seen over hurdles in June and again on Flat when fifth at Haydock (14f) 20 days ago. Others appeal more. Out of form when last seen over hurdles; stable is going well, and easing in the weights..
6
6
|PU| (6) (14/1 -40%) Liberty Flame
14
14/1(-40%)
(6) Liberty Flame 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 11/1, excellent third of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Since bought from Peter Flood for £19,500 and he's in the mix on his handicap debut with better to come. Ex-Irish; placed in a 2m maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan; stable debut; market check advised..
4
4
|PU| (4) (14/1 -27%) Cancan
14
14/1(-27%)
(4) Cancan 14/1, A fair 2m winner over hurdles in 2021 but she returns from 19 months off her with her fitness to prove. Others are preferred on this occasion. Won mares' novice at Ayr (2m) in late 2021; reliable thereafter; first run for 573 days..
11
11
|PU| (11) (50/1 -178%) Milajess
50
50/1(-178%)
(11) Milajess 50/1, Went close in a Clonmel mares maiden in May but subsequent efforts for Michael C. Griffin were below par. Not disgraced for new yard when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 13 days ago. Can build on it with cheekpieces back on. Lost her way in Ireland for Michael Griffin; tailed off on stable debut at Hexham (2m4f)..
7
7
|PU| (7) (66/1 +0%) No Recollection
66
66/1(+0%)
(7) No Recollection 66/1, Dual 2m winner who comes here on the back of recent below-par efforts at Worcester and Sedgefield. Needs to get back on track. Both wins have come on good (Worcester); well beaten at Sedgefield (2m1f) a fortnight ago..
LTO Selection:
16:10 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Burrows Hall deserves a second look as a C&D winner in April, but he is 4lb higher in the handicap now and the Sue Smith stable are yet to hit top gear. Vocal Duke could bounce back if the drop in class and first-time cheekpieces bring out the best in him, but KILBRAINY could be the one. An easy winner at Kelso over further on his return, he may get a fast run race to allow his stamina to kick in and as the only recent winner here, a good run seems on the cards.
KILBRAINY can race off the same mark as when an easy recent winner of a conditional jockeys' handicap at Kelso so is hard to oppose. Handicap-debutant Libertty Flame has better days ahead of him and appeals as the one to chase home Sandy Thomson's well-treated rival ahead of Ring of Beara and Milajess.
It is difficult to look beyond the recent Kelso scorer KILBRAINY (nap), who is due an 8lb rise but can compete here without a penalty.
(6) One Mill Harbour 8/1, Improved on his hurdles form when making a successful chase debut at Newcastle in March but ran so poorly it's possible he was amiss at Ayr on his next start. Remains low mileage but probably best watched having since left Lucinda Russell. Well beaten on final run for Lucinda Russell but won previously; interesting on yard debut.

2nd (2) (9/2 +0%) Netywell
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(2) Netywell 9/2, Much improved when making all in 5-runner handicap at Ayr (16.5f) in January and produced another good effort when runner-up in an 8-runner event over C&D when last seen in March. Rates as a player on return. Went very close over C&D in March; one to be interested in, especially on testing ground.

3rd (3) (11/2 +0%) Massini Man
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(3) Massini Man 11/2, Thrived after joining this yard from John Groucott last season, winning a pair of wins at Musselburgh split only by a short-head defeat at that course. Better than ever when last seen and has a good record fresh, so makes plenty of appeal after 9-month break. In top form at Musselburgh during light campaign last season and respected on reappearance.

4th (1) (11/4 +0%) Missed Tee
2.75
11/4(+0%)
(1) Missed Tee 11/4, Easily won sole start in Irish points and got off mark under Rules at second attempt in a Uttoxeter maiden in December. Followed up at Hereford on handicap bow on next start and though not in same form when last seen, she has to be highly respected making the transition to fences. Very lightly raced point and two-time hurdle winner who has potential on her chase debut.
5th

5th (5) (9/1 -29%) Fete Champetre
9
9/1(-29%)
(5) Fete Champetre 9/1, Dual winner over hurdles showed some promise sent chasing back in 2021. Failed to match those efforts in only 2 starts last season and others appeal as more solid dropping back to the minimum trip. On a reduced mark but he ran just twice last season and was well beaten on each occasion.

|R| (8) (10/1 +29%) The Navigator
10
10/1(+29%)
(8) The Navigator 10/1, Five-time winning hurdler but isn't really bred for the larger obstacles and didn't shape like a natural when third of 5 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 16 days ago. Needs a couple of his rivals to falter. Didn't run badly on chase debut but perhaps best watched until improving his jumping.

|PU| (4) (8/1 -23%) Cartonne
8
8/1(-23%)
(4) Cartonne 8/1, Appeared to go the wrong way over hurdles but good start to life in this sphere when bagging back-to-back handicap chases at Musselburgh. Improved further when runner-up at Ludlow and though he was not in same form on final outing last term, he still merits respect on return. Won first two chase starts; failed to kick on but this 6yo could get back on track today.

|PU| (9) (17/2 -6%) Lincoln Burrows
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(9) Lincoln Burrows 17/2, Maiden Irish pointer showed significant improvement in making a successful handicap hurdle debut at Newcastle in April. Type to continue progressing over fences, though drop back to 2m isn't an obvious positive. Won on handicap hurdle debut in April; this former pointer now makes his chase debut.

|PU| (7) (22/1 -10%) Dr Sanderson
22
22/1(-10%)
(7) Dr Sanderson 22/1, Disappointed over hurdles and failed to justify strong support on return to chasing at Uttoxeter in the summer. Shaped as if amiss at Sedgefield earlier in the month and though he's worth a market check again, others make more appeal. His mark continues to fall but he's struggled to get competitive this year.
LTO Selection:
16:45 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Massini Man bolted up by 11 lengths when last seen in January at Musselburgh, but that was over 3m, so this represents a big drop in distance, which opens the door for NETYWELL. The six-year-old was only denied by a neck over C&D in March and he was only raised 1lb for that effort, so he could take full advantage of this drop in class. Missed Tee is also of interest on her chase debut after undergoing wind surgery since last seen.
MASSINI MAN proved a different proposition after joining Sandy Thomson last season and, despite now being 8 lb higher than for his final win last term, he's fancied to enhance his positive record fresh. Missed Tee won 2 of her 4 starts over hurdles and is highly respected on chase debut, whilst Netywell was in good form in the spring and is also considered on his return.
Point winner MISSED TEE won two of her four hurdle starts last season and is taken to make a winning chase debut.
(4) Iorangi De L'isle 5/2, €46,000 3-y-o, Lauro gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful chaser Desque de L'Isle, stays 2¼m,. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Dec 2022). Stable has a good record in bumpers at this track. Point winner; has joined top northern yard and could play a leading role on bumper debut.

1st (11) (5/1 +69%) Hazy Glen

5/1(+69%)
(11) Hazy Glen 5/1, Lawman gelding. Half-brother to 11.5f winner Sassifrassi. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m/17f winner) Pivot Bridge. Worth a market check. Half-brother to French 11.5f winner; the betting could be informative on debut.

2nd (3) (5/2 +75%) Get A Superstar

5/2(+75%)
(3) Get A Superstar 5/2, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, fourth of 15 in bumper at Tipperary (18f, heavy) on NH debut 168 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John F. O'Neill. Promising fourth in sole Irish bumper and could be firmly involved on British debut.

4/1(+75%)
(9) Dedicated Hero 4/1, €12,500 3-y-o, £40,000 4-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Dam, unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Ellerslie George. Placed both starts in Irish points, so could feature. Third in both Irish points and he is in good hands for rules career; not ruled out.

4th (1) (12/1 -243%) Cracking Rhapsody
12
12/1(-243%)
(1) Cracking Rhapsody 12/1, Left debut form well behind when opening his account in a 4-runner event at Perth 4 months ago but will need to step forward again if he's to defy a penalty. Won at Perth in June; improvement needed to defy a penalty in what could be a warm race.
5th

5th (13) (3/1 -33%) Tommys Law

3/1(-33%)
(13) Tommys Law 3/1, €10,000 3-y-o, £75,000 4-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to modest 2m hurdle winner Roisins Ciara. Dam (h91) lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. Runner-up both starts in Irish points (latest Apr 9). Worth a chance to make a successful Rules debut. Runner-up in two points; bought for £75,000 and new stable is in fine form.
6th

6th (10) (15/2 +53%) Diamond Mix

(10) Diamond Mix 15/2, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam unraced, out of fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (winner up to 21f) Fortana. 21,000euros yearling who makes debut with trainer enjoying an excellent October.

7th (6) (80/1 +36%) Scalloway Castle

(8) Boris The Underdog 50/1, :£1,000 4-y-o, Valirann gelding. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Buckers Bridge. Last of 4 finishers sole outing in point (Apr 22). Hard to fancy. Soundly beaten in British maiden point on sole start; others are preferred.
9th

9th (2) (50/1 +38%) Fairly Fulling

50/1(+38%)
(2) Fairly Fulling 50/1, From a good family but failed to complete both starts in points and only a remote fourth in a bumper at Sedgefield on Rules debut. Others preferred. Well beaten at 125-1 on recent bumper debut at Sedgefield.

10th (5) (150/1 -20%) Present For Me
150
150/1(-20%)
(5) Present For Me 150/1, Offered little to date. First run for yard after leaving Sam Thomas. Well beaten in January/May on his two runs for Sam Thomas and subsequently sold for £2,000.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Cracking Rhapsody accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length on his second start under Rules at Perth and he is likely to put in a bold display in the attempt to carry a 7lb penalty to victory. However, preference is for GET A SUPERSTAR, who finished fourth at Tipperary in May before changing hands for 27,000 pounds, and the son of Getaway could make a winning start for the Dr Richard Newland stable. Any market confidence behind Rula Bula on her first outing would also be of interest.
TOMMYS LAW was runner-up on both starts between the flags and represents a stable that has enjoyed a fruitful start to the campaign, so he's preferred to fellow point recruit Iorangi de L'Isle, who should be ready to go. Cracking Rhapsody is the best of those with bumper experience.
Point winner IORANGI DE L'ISLE is taken to make a winning start for Donald McCain, with Tommys Law feared most.
