12:45 Carlisle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (4/5 +12%) Johnnywho	0.8 4/5(+12%)	(7) Johnnywho 4/5, Wide-margin winner of sole start between the flags back in October 2021 and looked a smart prospect when running away with 9-runner bumper at Taunton (16.5f, heavy) on NH debut in March. Looks a powerful traveller and very much of interest on hurdles bow. Impressed in an Irish point and a Taunton bumper; an exciting prospect.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +20%) Moon D'Orange	8 8/1(+20%)	(1) Moon D'Orange 8/1, Confirmed hurdles debut promise back from 5 months off when landing 7-runner Cartmel maiden (22f) in May. Shaped as if better for the run when fifth on return at Cork (24.2f) last month prior to unseating early on at Galway last week. Not out of things. Won at Cartmel in the spring but takes on a couple of exciting rivals here.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/4 -46%) Whistle Stop Tour	2.75 11/4(-46%)	(2) Whistle Stop Tour 11/4, Changed hands for £115,000 on the back of success in Irish points and justified odd-son favouritism to make a winning start over hurdles in a Hexham novice (16.2f, heavy) 30 days ago, making all and jumping well. Big player with improvement expected. Impressed on last month's hurdling debut at Hexham and makes obvious appeal.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 +23%) Both Barrels	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(3) Both Barrels 17/2, Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers, posting best effort to date when third at Kelso (16.2f, soft) back in March. No reason why he won't have a future in this sphere and interesting what the market makes of him back from 7 months off. Placed in quite valuable Kelso bumper in March; should have a future over jumps.
5th	11 5th (11) (12/1 +40%) Yealand	12 12/1(+40%)	(11) Yealand 12/1, €60,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding who is bred to stay well and he made an encouraging start when second in 6-runner junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m) back in April. Very much the type to improve, particularly now upped in trip. Promising second in junior hurdle in April but has a lot more on his plate here.
6th	12 6th (12) (50/1 +24%) Belleme Basc	50 50/1(+24%)	(12) Belleme Basc 50/1, £50,000 3-y-o: third foal: dam lightly-raced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (2¼m-2¾m winner) Mandarin Basc. Unplaced on completed start in Irish points (Apr 2) and the betting may provide a useful guide as to expectations ahead of this Rules debut. Respectable fifth in soft-ground Irish point in April; faces tall order on rules debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (25/1 +11%) Mullys Choice	25 25/1(+11%)	(10) Mullys Choice 25/1, Picked up for £60,000 after finishing second in a maiden point last November but didn't show too much immediate promise when fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Worcester (23f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Looks one for further down the line. Made promising Irish point debut last year but well beaten in a novice hurdle last month.
8th	6 8th (6) (250/1 -150%) Iturgeon Du Breuil	250 250/1(-150%)	(6) Iturgeon Du Breuil 250/1, £10,000 5-y-o, Turgeon gelding. Placed in Irish point in May but offered little short-term encouragement when sixth of 9 in a 17f novice here 17 days ago. In rear throughout when 50-1 for recent hurdling debut.
9th	5 9th (5) (80/1 -142%) Imperial Rule	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Imperial Rule 80/1, Imperial Monarch gelding. Dam (c110) 17f chase winner. Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Apr 30) and the betting should prove a useful guide ahead of this Rules/hurdling debut. Placed in good-ground Irish point in April but makes rules debut in a warm race.
10th	4 10th (4) (300/1 -100%) Glenavaddra	300 300/1(-100%)	(4) Glenavaddra 300/1, Point winner but has shown nothing in 4 runs under Rules, including on the back of a wind op when pulled up at Hexham (20f) in March. Irish point winner in February 2022 but pulled up on all three hurdling starts last season.
11th	9 11th (9) (150/1 -127%) Mount Falcon	150 150/1(-127%)	(9) Mount Falcon 150/1, £4,000 5-y-o, Ask gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Ocean Cove (by Ask). Last of 3 finishers on Irish point debut, pulled up other start (Apr 21). Likely best watched on Rules/hurdling debut. Placed in first of two Irish points; bought for £4,000 in May; rules debut today.

LTO Selection:

12:45 Carlisle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Point-to-point winner JOHNNYWHO was sent off favourite for his debut under Rules in a Taunton bumper and made no mistake, sauntering clear to score by over five lengths. The well-related six-year-old can make a victorious start over timber for his powerful connections before going on to better things. Whistle Stop Tour was an impressive 18-length victor at Hexham and won't go down without a fight in his attempt to defy a penalty. Irish raider Moon D'orange could collect minor honours.

Successful on his only start in points, JOHNNYWHO looked potentially smart when making a winning bumper debut at Taunton (16.5f) back in March, travelling with purpose and quickening clear impressively. An exciting hurdles debutant, he earns the vote to make a winning return equipped with a first-time tongue tie. Whistle Stop Tour rates the lead danger following his all-the-way success at Hexham 30 days ago, with Yealand and Moon d'Orange a couple of others to note.

Johnnywho looks exciting but slight preference is for WHISTLE STOP TOUR, who was far too good for his rivals at Hexham last month.

13:20 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (Evens +17%) Trelawne	0 Evens(+17%)	(1) Trelawne Evens, Made it 3-4 over hurdles when seeing off 12 rivals in 23.3f Uttoxeter handicap when last seen in March. Makes the switch to the larger obstacles and ought to have further progression in him provided he keeps his quirks in check. Leading claims for an in-form yard. 3-4 over hurdles; collected good prize in March; commands respect on this chasing debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +31%) Blue Fin	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(5) Blue Fin 9/2, Runner-up on only start in bumpers and opened his account at the third time of asking over hurdles in 8-runner novice at Newcastle (16.9f) in February. Held every chance when carried out by his main market rival at the last at Sedgefield in April and now makes handicap/chase debut. Won novice hurdle last season and has pointing experience to call upon on chasing debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +63%) Brandy McQueen	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(3) Brandy McQueen 9/4, Progressive staying hurdler in 2022/23 (4 wins) who capitalised on the mistakes of others to make a winning start over fences at Kelso (23.4f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. 6 lb rise more than fair and should have more to offer in this sphere. Progressive hurdler last season and easily won small-field chase last month.
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 -213%) Presenting Jeremy	50 50/1(-213%)	(6) Presenting Jeremy 50/1, Made winning Rules debut in a Worcester novice hurdle in spring 2021. Better for chase debut when third at Southwell final start last term but sold from Dan Skelton for only £5,500 in May. Engaged 4.08 Wetherby Saturday. Became rather disappointing for Dan Skelton; makes stable debut here.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -200%) Conkwell Legend	12 12/1(-200%)	(2) Conkwell Legend 12/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who resumed winning ways at Plumpton (20.5f) in March and ran equally as well in defeat when runner-up from 9 lb higher mark at Ffos Las (20f) a month later, noted staying on well. Having a second go over fences and is open to progress returning from 7 months off. Didn't get far on last year's chasing debut but was in good form over hurdles in spring.

LTO Selection:

13:20 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

TRELAWNE recorded victories in three of his four hurdling starts, defying a mark of 130 with ease at Uttoxeter in March, which makes him a fascinating recruit to the chasing ranks. Brandy Mcqueen couldn't have done it any easier over an extended 2m7f at Kelso on his fencing bow and has to be considered off a 6lb higher rating, while Conkwell Legend is capable of getting involved as well.

Cases can be made for most but preference is for TRELAWNE, who made it 3-4 over hurdles at Uttoxeter when last seen back in March and Kim Bailey's 7-y-o has the potential to become an even better chaser. Brandy McQueen was a wide-margin winner on his chase bow at Kelso recently, so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Conkwell Legend, who got no further than the first on his chasing debut at Warwick on New Year's Eve.

Topweight TRELAWNE still has significant untapped potential over hurdles but Kim Bailey is evidently very keen to switch him to fences.

13:55 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/4 +10%) Dunnet Head	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(3) Dunnet Head 9/4, Made a winning debut in a bumper at Ayr in October 2022 and shaped well when in the frame over hurdles at Kelso and here last winter. Returns after a wind op for his handicap debut on a good mark. Interesting. Won a bumper on debut and made the frame on both hurdling starts; handicap debut today.
2	6 2nd (6) (12/1 -41%) V Twelve	12 12/1(-41%)	(6) V Twelve 12/1, Fairly useful 10f winner on the Flat for Ed Walker. Similar form shown in three hurdling runs, fifth of ten in 2m Hexham novice last time. May do better now going into handicaps. Respectable fifth in Hexham novice last month and open to improvement in handicap hurdles.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -17%) Applaus	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Applaus 14/1, 3-time C&D winner but he's an untrustworthy individual. Only seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle here (20f, soft) 17 days ago so others are more persuasive. Won twice on inner track here last season and ran well for a long way over 2m4f last month.
4	8 4th (8) (11/1 +0%) Malangen	11 11/1(+0%)	(8) Malangen 11/1, Landed his fourth hurdling win at Perth (2m) in September. Not disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 10 days ago so he needs shortlisting. Gave pretty good account when fifth in higher-grade C&D race ten days ago; not ruled out.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/1 +13%) Gavin	7 7/1(+13%)	(7) Gavin 7/1, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles at Ffos Las in June. Has continued in good nick, though he raced too freely up in trip when sixth in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester 24 days ago. Can go well reverted in distance. Triple hurdle winner on good ground in early part of season; needs to better recent form.
6th	11 6th (11) (8/1 +27%) Frightened Rabbit	8 8/1(+27%)	(11) Frightened Rabbit 8/1, Won at Hexham in re-fitted cheekpieces for Dianne Sayer in May 2022, but well below that form since, including in 5 runs for this yard. More is needed despite a plummeting mark. Patently not the force of old but ran well for a long way in big field here ten days ago.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -56%) Diamand De Vindecy	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Diamand De Vindecy 25/1, Fair performer on the level in France and in three runs over hurdles for his current yard last term. Not discounted on his return to this sphere. Four-time Flat winner in France and made the frame in two maiden hurdles last season.
8th	5 8th (5) (15/2 -88%) Noble Affair	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(5) Noble Affair 15/2, Got off the mark over hurdles at Hexham in April and posted a good second of 6 in handicap hurdle there (20.1f, heavy) 30 days ago. Can give another good account off just 1 lb higher mark. Game winner at Hexham in April and ran well there last month, after a break.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 +20%) Kopa Kilana	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Kopa Kilana 16/1, Bumper winner but yet to surpass modest form over hurdles, though not disgraced in face of a stiff task when fifth in 21f Kelso novice 28 days ago. Likely to prove vulnerable once more. Didn't run badly in Kelso novice last month but now 0-12 over hurdles; others preferred.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (5/1 +23%) Ibbenburen	5 5/1(+23%)	(1) Ibbenburen 5/1, Successful twice from 4 starts in his novice campaign in 2021. Off 23 months below posting a below-par fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft, 12/1) 47 days ago. Needs to step forward. Returned from long absence with encouraging handicap debut in September; interesting.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (40/1 +0%) A Cheap Thrill	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) A Cheap Thrill 40/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Emmet Mullins who hasn't fired as yet for current stable and was pulled up at Hexham last time. Easy to look elsewhere. Has completed only one of four chases for this stable; now reverts to hurdling.

LTO Selection:

13:55 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Noble Affair was only denied by half a length at Hexham last month and she should remain competitive off just 1lb higher, but the drop in distance could work against her. For that reason, the vote goes to MALANGEN, who has struggled most recently but struck in this sort of company at Perth in September off only a 1lb lower rating and he should relish conditions. Gavin has put in some solid displays this year and completes the shortlist.

Iain Jardine's DUNNET HEAD looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut and can build on the promise shown over hurdles last term to add to his previous bumper success. Noble Affair is feared most on the back of his good recent Hexham second ahead of Gavin, who should prove suited by dropping back in trip.

Topweight IBBENBUREN is well handicapped on his 2021 novice form and returned from a long layoff with an encouraging run in September.

14:30 Carlisle Conditions Chase (Class 1) 20f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/8 +31%) Thunder Rock	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(6) Thunder Rock 11/8, Four-time hurdle winner who also landed 2 novice handicap chases last autumn. Smart effort when second in 20.5f Grade 2 at Ayr on his final start in April. Likely to have a big say on his return. Strong form in defeat in Graded novice chases last season and he's firmly in calculations.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +25%) Mahler Mission	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) Mahler Mission 3/1, Progressive 3-time winner over hurdles and improved further over fences, second in a 3m Grade 2 novice at Navan before looking the likely winner (5 lengths up) when falling 2 out in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham (3¾m). Leading form claims on reappearance but the trip might be on short side. 4l ahead when falling two out in 3m6f NH Chase; surplus stamina a plus; leading claims.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +27%) Bill Baxter	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) Bill Baxter 4/1, Four wins as a first-season chaser, culminating with a game success in the Topham over the National fences at Aintree (21f, good to soft). Likely has even more to come this term. Highly progressive last season, winning the Topham; could still have more to offer.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (4/1 +20%) Bass Rock	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Bass Rock 4/1, Won the 2½m handicap hurdle on this card on his reappearance 2 years ago and also made a successful start to last season in a course novice chase. Has a bit to find on form but that excellent record fresh makes him a dangerous one to discount. Relying on others underperforming but he has a good record here when fresh in autumn.

LTO Selection:

14:30 Carlisle Conditions Chase (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

If Monbeg Genius and 2022 winner Beauport both run at Ascot on Saturday as expected, this may fall the way of MAHLER MISSION, officially the highest rated horse in the field and clear when falling two out in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. He can make the journey over from Ireland worthwhile, assuming a clear round, with the improving Bill Baxter and Ayr Grade 2 second Thunder Rock likeliest to follow him home.

THUNDER ROCK was smart at around this trip last season and might have too much speed for Irish-raider Mahler Mission, who was 5 lengths to the good when departing 2 out in the 3¾m National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March.

The Irish-trained front-runner MAHLER MISSION can make a winning reappearance, with the consistent Thunder Rock second choice.

15:05 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (10/1 -54%) Albert's Back	10 10/1(-54%)	(2) Albert's Back 10/1, Latest win at Wetherby (2m, soft) in March. Below form sixth of 20 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Aintree (16.5f, good to soft) when last seen in April. Claims if he's tuned up. Engaged 3.30 Wetherby Saturday. Well served by testing ground; never in contention when 3rd at Wetherby yesterday.
1	6 1st (6) (9/1 -100%) Fingal's Hill	9 9/1(-100%)	(6) Fingal's Hill 9/1, Did well to make up ground from off the pace in a falsely-run race when completing a handicap hat-trick at Hexham when last seen in May and a 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid if he's ready to roll after 6 months off. Unexposed 7yo who landed a spring hat-trick; has to be respected on his return.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/2 +58%) Shallow River	2.5 5/2(+58%)	(8) Shallow River 5/2, Fairly useful 2m winner for Fergal O'Brien who arrives on the back of a pair of good runner-up efforts over 21f for his new yard last month. Likely to be in the mix again. Runner-up on both starts last month and has a race-fitness edge; key player.
3	10 3rd (10) (17/2 +29%) The King Of May	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(10) The King Of May 17/2, Better known as a fairly useful chaser but he showed he can still be competitive back hurdling when 7 lengths fourth of 10 on his Sedgefield reappearance 14 days ago. Is 5 lb out of the handicap here, though. Only fourth at Sedgefield but may be sharper for that run; well treated on his chase form.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +27%) Cheddleton	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Cheddleton 4/1, Smart chaser and his third on last season's reappearance shows he's still capable over hurdles too. Been off for 10 months. Well treated on chase form & ran creditably when he last tackled hurdles; one to consider.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -75%) Foster'sisland	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Foster'sisland 14/1, Likeable type who found a bit more improvement to land a Bangor handicap when last seen 7 months ago. Might strip fitter for this return, however. Engaged 3.30 Wetherby Saturday. Won by 8l at Bangor in March when last seen; a possible; non-runner at Wetherby yesterday.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 +33%) Theme Tune	6 6/1(+33%)	(7) Theme Tune 6/1, Course novice winner for Jonjo O'Neill who, despite indifferent jumping, won a pair of 3m handicap hurdles for this yard last winter. Respectable fifth at Kelso when last seen in March. Down in trip for reappearance., 2 staying wins last term; drops back in trip but this will be a stamina test in the ground.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (4/1 +20%) Carcaci Castle	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Carcaci Castle 4/1, Bumper winner in Ireland who looked a useful prospect when landing 2m maiden/novice hurdles at Kelso last December for Sandy Thomson. Pulled up in a Grade 2 novice back there in March but still appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps. The yard won this in 2021. Unexposed handicap newcomer who retains potential, especially now up in trip.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (25/1 -150%) Baron De Midleton	25 25/1(-150%)	(4) Baron De Midleton 25/1, Three small-field chase wins in blinkers last season. Ran poorly at Ayr final start. Well held over hurdles on last season's reappearance. Watching brief advised on return. Two-time hurdle winner who is well treated on last season's chase form (won here).
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (40/1 -82%) Polisud	40 40/1(-82%)	(9) Polisud 40/1, Fairly useful chase/hurdle winner at best in France but pulled up on his yard debut at Wetherby in January and not seen since. Can only be watched. Pulled up on sole British start but scoped dirty and he's a three-time winner in France.

LTO Selection:

15:05 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Baron De Midleton struck over fences on his first two starts following wind surgery last season, and he races off a lower mark over the smaller obstacles. Carcaci Castle might get involved if he can recapture his better Kelso form at this track, but preference lies with FINGAL'S HILL. The seven-year-old only does enough to win narrowly, making him hard to handicap, and he might make it four in a row if ready to roll after a six-month break.

Although CARCACI CASTLE failed to make an impact in a Grade 2 novice when last seen in March he still has the profile of one who can go on to better things in handicaps this term and he gets the nod for Sandy Thomson and Ryan Mania. Fingal's Hill will pose a threat if resuming in the same form as when completing a hat-trick in the spring. Shallow River has made a solid start for his new trainer Milton Harris and should also be on the premises.

The form of the heavy-ground novice hurdle CARCACI CASTLE won at Kelso last December worked out well and he gets the nod.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (9/2 +0%) Houston Texas	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(9) Houston Texas 9/2, Completed a hat-trick over fences in this race on return last season and resumed winning ways at Hexham on final start. Should go well again. Won this on last year's reappearance and he's 3-3 here, which is a big positive.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/1 -20%) Wasdell Dundalk	9 9/1(-20%)	(10) Wasdell Dundalk 9/1, Has relished the step up to 3m over fences this season, completing a hat-trick at Perth in August/September. Good second here since and can make his presence felt again. Completed Perth hat-trick before fine 2nd here; thriving and could be bang there once more.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 -85%) Yes Indeed	12 12/1(-85%)	(3) Yes Indeed 12/1, Fairly useful winning chaser in France who went close at Newbury on second run following a wind op in March. Again found just one too strong at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) next time, not for the first time he failed to see the job through after trading at odds on in-running. 0-8 in Britain but runner-up in the spring on last two starts and could be thereabouts.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 -20%) Mario De Pail	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Mario De Pail 12/1, Useful hurdler who produced a promising first effort over fences when runner-up at Ffos Las (20.1f) 2 years ago. Held back by jumping since, however, including on return/debut for this yard. Headgear on. His jumping can be an issue but he could build on last month's encouraging comeback run.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -69%) Haute Estime	11 11/1(-69%)	(5) Haute Estime 11/1, Off the mark over fences when taking 5-runner novice at Warwick in March and backed it up with a solid third in a listed event at Perth. Going well (2 lengths ahead of Wasdell Dundalk) when falling heavily there 3 out on return and can make amends if none the worse. Going well in a share of the lead when falling 3 out at Perth; could have a part to play.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 +31%) Laskalin	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(1) Laskalin 9/2, Ex-French winner who returned after a wind op/10 months off with an emphatic success at Ludlow (25.6f, good to soft) last season. Solid placed efforts at Newbury/Sandown next 2 starts but struggled in top handicaps at Ascot/Cheltenham since. Back down in class now. Last season ended tamely but a break may have helped; major player if back to his best.
7th	11 7th (11) (22/1 -22%) Glittering Love	22 22/1(-22%)	(11) Glittering Love 22/1, Veteran who went close a couple of times last season but bit to prove after taking little interest on final start. Pulled up in April when last seen but in good form previously; C&D winner; not ruled out.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/2 +50%) Phantom Getaway	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(6) Phantom Getaway 9/2, Improved when off the mark in 3m Ffos Las handicap on his reappearance last season. Failed to match that form next 2 starts but should make a chaser (winning Irish pointer). Best hurdle run came on last season's comeback; this point winner could improve for fences.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (10/1 +38%) Flower Of Scotland	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Flower Of Scotland 10/1, Scored at Kelso in December and good third in Edinburgh National at Musselburgh next time. Decent third back over hurdles at Kelso final start. Third in this on last year's reappearance and her stamina is an asset at this stiff track.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (11/1 +31%) Apple Rock	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Apple Rock 11/1, Completed his hat-trick at Taunton (3m) in December but high enough in weights now and makes chasing debut just 2 months shy of 10th birthday. Six-time hurdle winner; 9yo makes belated chase debut but showed promise in points in 2018.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (14/1 -75%) Street Value	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Street Value 14/1, Good third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24.2f, heavy) on return 10 days ago but jumping remains a concern back in this sphere. Bang there when final-fence faller at Fairyhouse on last chase run; firmly in calculations.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Venetia Williams' representatives are always worth a second look here and LASKALIN could be up to defying top weight. The eight-year-old hasn't been sighted since a below-par effort at the Cheltenham Festival, but he's a confirmed mudlover who was produced to score readily on last year's reappearance. Yes Indeed remains well treated on his best French form and has to be considered along with Mario De Pail, who ran well for a long way at Chepstow on his comeback.

A jumping lapse possibly cost HAUTE ESTIME the win at Perth on her return and she can make amends off the same mark if none the worse. Laskalin is back down in class and won his comeback last season, so is next best ahead of last year's winner Houston Texas.

Last year's winner HOUSTON TEXAS (nap) is unbeaten in three previous visits to Carlisle and is the pick ahead of Phantom Getaway.

3	9 3rd (9) (80/1 -60%) Wolfburg	80 80/1(-60%)	(9) Wolfburg 80/1, Cheap purchase who failed to beat a rival at Kelso 179 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for. Only 7-1 for debut at Kelso in May but, after racing too freely, was tailed off.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 -186%) Panhandle Slim	5 5/1(-186%)	(7) Panhandle Slim 5/1, Failed to beat a rival in a point but showed plenty when runner-up in a bumper at Bangor a month ago. Performance of similar merit should be enough for him to go one better. Very promising rules debut when clear second at Bangor (soft) last month; likely contender.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/2 -10%) Wal Buck's	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(8) Wal Buck's 11/2, €62,000 3-y-o, Buck's Boum gelding. Half-brother to bumper winnerWalmix, stays 21f. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful French chaser (17f-3m winner) Delavant de Laulne. Fourth sole outing in Irish points (Feb 18). Well held when fourth on Irish point debut but that might have been a very good race.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/1 -22%) Askmore	11 11/1(-22%)	(2) Askmore 11/1, Ask gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler/fair chaser Kym Eyre. Dam (h89) maiden hurdler/winning pointer. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Mar 26). One to consider. Won slow-ground Irish point in March; new yard has very respectable bumper strike-rate.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 -100%) Adveram	50 50/1(-100%)	(1) Adveram 50/1, Showed more than on debut when third at Ayr 7 months ago but much bigger step forward required if he's to open his account. Not disgraced on either start last season but others have more compelling form.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 +20%) Great Warford	20 20/1(+20%)	(5) Great Warford 20/1, Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 21f) Knight In Dubai. First foal from half-sister to useful jumper Knight In Dubai; yard not prolific in bumpers.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Carlisle NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

The money arrived for Panhandle Slim at Bangor last month and he showed a fair amount of promise in finishing second. It would be no surprise to see him go one better but newcomer MISTER MEGGIT appeals from a profile perspective, not least because of Jonjo O'Neill's fine strike-rate with bumper runners at this track. Point-to-point scorers Askmore and Denemethy would also be interesting if attracting market support.

PANHANDLE SLIM made a highly promising start when runner-up at Bangor last month and he probably won't need to improve to open his account. Point-winner Denemethy is a big danger and Mister Meggit is one to note if he attracts support.

The suggestion is PANHANDLE SLIM, who was a long way clear of the third when second at Bangor last month.

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.
