8	8 (8) (9/2 +18%) Sean Og		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(8) Sean Og 9/2, Remains a maiden but will surely put that right soon enough judged on his last couple of efforts, third behind City Derby over C&D on Monday. Third when back hurdling here on Monday; has 9l to find with City Derby.
5	5 (5) (15/2 +46%) Alqamar		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(5) Alqamar 15/2, Three wins over 17f here in summer 2021 but out of luck since, first-time blinkers not rekindling him as required back from 8 months off here on Monday. Without a win since 2021 and well beaten here on Monday when 40-1.
1	1 (1) (33/1 +0%) Accidental Rebel		33 33/1(+0%)																															(1) Accidental Rebel 33/1, Useful hurdler at best for Fergal O'Brien, winning 4 times from 6 starts in the 2022/23 campaign. However, absent for 14 months subsequently and has offered little in 2 Perth handicap hurdles for new stable this spring. Former Grade 2 winner but looks to have completely lost his way.
1	9 1st (9) (8/15 +79%) City Derby		0.533333 8/15(+79%)																															(9) City Derby 8/15, Gambled on from a reduced mark following a breathing operation and duly returned to form with his third near-miss over C&D in the space of a year on Monday (clear of Sean Og in third). Back to form following a wind operation when runner-up here on Monday.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 -29%) Boomslang		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(7) Boomslang 9/2, Fair hurdler who made a good return from a break when second of 6 over 23f at Hexham 18 days ago. Should be competitive back in handicap company. On a fair mark on best form but good ground seems the key to him; watch the weather.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/2 +35%) Ilikedwayurthinkin		5.5 11/2(+35%)																															(3) Ilikedwayurthinkin 11/2, Useful winning handicap hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Has struggled for form over hurdles since coming to Britain but the headgear he often wore for his previous yard is back on for the first time since joining this stable. Market support would look significant. Seriously well handicapped on old form but very opposable on what he has been doing.
4	2 4th (2) (18/1 -50%) Finisk River		18 18/1(-50%)																															(2) Finisk River 18/1, Scored 4 times around 2½m in 2022. Back to form from reduced mark when second of 7 at Bangor last September but disappointing in only 2 runs since. Others are more obvious. Dual course winner but an 11yo now and has become inconsistent.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 -144%) Court Dreaming		22 22/1(-144%)																															(6) Court Dreaming 22/1, Didn't appear to enjoy himself back chasing at Hexham this month but reached the frame in a couple of handicap hurdles at the end of 2023 and feasibly treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Needs good ground; on a useful mark if putting his best foot forward back over hurdles.
4	4 |PU| (4) (22/1 -144%) Yukon		22 22/1(-144%)																															(4) Yukon 22/1, Fair maiden on Flat but struck at first time of asking over hurdles in maiden at Sedgefield in October 2022. Also second in a 17f handicap hurdle here a year ago but he ran poorly at Catterick when last seen in December. Yard's good record in this race provides some hope. Second at this meeting last year and heavy/soft ground hasn't suited since.

19:20 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN had excuses for being well beaten in this grade at Kelso earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 4lb for that effort. Ben Haslam's veteran lurks on an appealing mark and he gets the nod, with his main threat possibly being Boomslang, who finished second in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time and could remain competitive back in the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, Finisk River makes the most appeal under Brian Hughes.

A chance is taken on the return of headgear sparking ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN back to life, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Boomslang is respected on the back of his second in a maiden at Hexham earlier this month, while Court Dreaming is still capable off this sort of mark if on a going day.

The 7yo YUKON wouldn't be suited by much rain but good to soft would be okay and he went close at this meeting 12 months ago.

2	2 (2) (4/1 +11%) Sword Of Fate		4 4/1(+11%)																															(2) Sword Of Fate 4/1, On a dangerous mark and returned to form with a big effort to finish second at Perth recently. Has won here in the past and looks the most appealing. Long in the tooth now but ran well at Perth a fortnight ago and is also suited by this C&D.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +0%) Augharue		5 5/1(+0%)																															(5) Augharue 5/1, Good second of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (17f, good, 10/1) 19 days ago, just failing. Enters calculations for all that he's not the most consistent. Ran game race from the front when very close second at Sedgefield this month.
4	4 (4) (17/2 +0%) Guillaume		8.5 17/2(+0%)																															(4) Guillaume 17/2, Made the most of what ended up a good opportunity to get off the mark under Rules in 6-runner handicap chase at Catterick in December. Tame efforts both subsequent starts, so needs cheekpieces to perk him up. Has plausible excuses for both defeats since Catterick win in December; cheekpieces on.
6	6 (6) (25/1 -14%) Gouet Des Bruyeres		25 25/1(-14%)																															(6) Gouet Des Bruyeres 25/1, Three-time winner over fences but out of sorts when last seen and returns from 5 months off with something to prove. Ran okay on stable debut in November but absent since lesser effort in December.
1	11 1st (11) (10/1 +29%) Melvich Bay		10 10/1(+29%)																															(11) Melvich Bay 10/1, Poor hurdler who hasn't been firing of late. Unexposed in this sphere (jumped better as race wore on on chase debut in February) and worthy of a market check despite being out of the weights. Stayed on for third on chase debut in February but needs more from out of the weights here.
2	12 2nd (12) (9/2 +78%) Robins Field		4.5 9/2(+78%)																															(12) Robins Field 9/2, Filled runner-up spot 5 times over fences but hasn't shown his form for some time. Second in three chases at start of this year but form has dipped lately.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +38%) Contre Ordre		5 5/1(+38%)																															(7) Contre Ordre 5/1, Capitalised on a career-low mark to land 17f Sedgefield handicap chase in November. Has generally struggled since, but latest fifth (in first-time blinkers) at Perth was a more positive step. Has very mixed record since Sedgefield win in November but is 4lb lower now.
4	9 4th (9) (4/1 +60%) Fathers Advice		4 4/1(+60%)																															(9) Fathers Advice 4/1, Runner-up 4 times over hurdles and found one too good on fourth attempt in this sphere at Newcastle in January. Respectable effort there since and not ruled out returning from a short break. 25-race maiden; not easy to enthuse over but went close over hurdles here last summer.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/4 +63%) Methusalar		2.75 11/4(+63%)																															(8) Methusalar 11/4, Winner at Bangor for Alan King back in 2022 but struggled for present connections over both sets of obstacles in recent months. Becoming well treated. Recent hurdle run was a step back in the right direction; still makes only limited appeal.
6th	10 6th (10) (28/1 +0%) Barley Breeze		28 28/1(+0%)																															(10) Barley Breeze 28/1, Some form in bumpers but has shown very little over obstacles, including for this yard. Has failed to complete his last four races; big leap of faith required to support him.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 -27%) Libby		7 7/1(-27%)																															(3) Libby 7/1, Fair form over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien and more encouragement for this yard the last twice, third of 4 at Perth a fortnight ago. Mark is becoming appealing and can't be ruled out. 0-5 over fences and 0-24 overall but seems to have been aided by a visor lately.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 +0%) Grand Soufle		10 10/1(+0%)																															(1) Grand Soufle 10/1, Scored here in 2022 but he's not the easiest to train and failed to beat a rival over hurdles last time. Off 114 days since and worth monitoring in the betting switched to chasing. Seen only twice again since winning maiden hurdle here in August 2022; chase debut today.

19:50 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

AUGHARUE had Libby (third) behind when only denied by a short head into second at Sedgefield last time and he is only 3lb higher for that display. Stuart Coltherd's seven-year-old could prove tough to beat if he runs to the level again. His main danger might be Sword Of Fate, who was beaten just over a length when attempting to make all over 2m4f at Perth on his latest outing and he should remain competitive off the same mark, while Guillaume is another to note.

SWORD OF FATE is handicapped to win and, having bounced back to form at Perth last time, he's fancied to add another C&D success to his record. Augharue is a danger if in the same form as last time and Grand Soufle is an interesting chasing debutant for a trainer that does well at his local track.

Ex-Irish maiden LIBBY seems to have been aided by a visor lately and might be ready to exploit her reduced mark.

1	3 1st (3) (9/4 +36%) Kilta		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(3) Kilta 9/4, Showed much improved form to get off the mark on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, heavy) in March and shaped best when runner-up at Haydock next time. Very much caught the eye at Kelso last time and he's a respected chase newcomer despite racing from way out of the weights. Progressive over hurdles towards end of last season; 12lb wrong for chasing debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (Evens -100%) Dreal Deal		0 Evens(-100%)																															(1) Dreal Deal Evens, Off the mark over fences at Down Royal in April and had plenty in hand when doubling his tally in a 7-runner novice chase at Wexford (16f, heavy) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should take plenty of beating. Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2021 and a dual chase winner this spring; commands respect.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -13%) Glynn		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(2) Glynn 9/2, Evidently not easy to train but he was a fairly useful hurdler for Nicky Henderson. Point winner but was held when unseating late at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 53 days ago. Needs to step forward from that but at least is able to race from his actual mark. Just a respectable third over hurdles on stable debut and unseated rider on chase debut.

20:20 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Useful hurdler DREAL DEAL has found his stride over the larger obstacles of late and despite having to concede 19lb all round, John McConnell's gelding is hard to oppose. The way in which he travelled into contention at Wexford 11 days ago would suggest he has plenty more in the locker, and he's preferred to Glynn, who should be more streetwise having unseated on his fencing bow last month. Kilta can chase the pair home.

Irish raider DREAL DEAL impressed with the manner of his victory at Wexford last month and should prove up to successfully conceding weight all round here. Kilta made a really encouraging start to life in handicap hurdles and rates the main threat despite racing from out of the weights, although Glynn isn't fully ruled out on the pick of his hurdles form.

The most obvious answer is DREAL DEAL, who is 2-3 since returned to chasing this spring and did it pretty easily at Wexford last time.

4	4 (4) (25/1 +0%) Buzzard Trix		25 25/1(+0%)																															(4) Buzzard Trix 25/1, Court Cave gelding. Brother to modest hurdler Laughing Trix, stays 25f. Dam unplaced in bumper. Off the mark at the third attempt between the flags but just a modest level of form when fifth on Rules debut in May 2022. Warmed up for this by beating sole finisher in a point recently. Won recent three-runner point but has much more to do here and is very inconsistent.
1	1 1st (1) (Evens +28%) Gaboriot		0 Evens(+28%)																															(1) Gaboriot Evens, Won a pair of 3m handicaps in the autumn and regained the winning thread when easily landing a hunter at Catterick in March. Unseated in Foxhunters' at Aintree but quickly over that mishap when adding to tally over marathon trip at Cheltenham a month ago. Has to be of interest despite penalty. Four-time winner since finishing second in this race a year ago; ought to be hard to beat.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 +0%) Jerrysback		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(2) Jerrysback 7/2, Useful chaser who landed a couple of veterans' events in 2022 and shaped as if retaining ability after 18 months off in Catterick hunter in March. Confirmed that promise when successful at Hexham since, albeit it was nowhere near his best form. Kept on well to win at Hexham last month and has a significant role to play here.
3	8 3rd (8) (13/2 +7%) Mario De Pail		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(8) Mario De Pail 13/2, Encouraging signs first 2 starts for this yard following a 19-month absence but form has dipped badly since. This does at least represent a drop in class on hunter debut. Regressive in handicaps last season but could be dangerous at this easier level.
4	7 4th (7) (66/1 +0%) Dressedforsuccess		66 66/1(+0%)																															(7) Dressedforsuccess 66/1, All 5 wins under Rules have come at Cartmel. Pulled up on 3 of his last 4 starts. Multiple course winner in his prime but seems badly to have lost his way.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -150%) Cash Again		50 50/1(-150%)																															(6) Cash Again 50/1, Creditable effort on first start having left Ben Haslam when third at Hexham in September. That was his only run for Simon West and made the frame both starts in points since. Looks up against it. Has a bit to find on the figures with the princicpals but runs this track well; e-w claims.
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -75%) Amenon		28 28/1(-75%)																															(3) Amenon 28/1, Fair hurdler/chaser at best. Lost his way in Ireland but found a weak race to open his account in this sphere at Huntingdon last week. This asks for more. Recorded very slow time when winning three-runner race at Huntingdon last week.
7th	9 7th (9) (5/1 +17%) Windsor Avenue		5 5/1(+17%)																															(9) Windsor Avenue 5/1, Fairly useful chaser on his day and took a step back in the right direction when runner-up in hunter at Catterick (25tf, soft) in March. Never going in the Aintree Foxhunters' since but back in calmer waters, he finished placed at Kelso 3 weeks ago (in refitted blinkers). Second in two hunter chases in recent months but has become very inconsistent.
5	5 |PU| (5) (18/1 -50%) Canelo		18 18/1(-50%)																															(5) Canelo 18/1, One-time smart handicapper but has been on the downgrade for some time and there have been no real signs of a revival in 4 starts since returning from a 15-month absence in December. Has left Ben Haslam. Won Hexham point by 9l for new connections this month but today's race is much tougher.
10	10 |PU| (10) (50/1 -127%) You Name Him		50 50/1(-127%)																															(10) You Name Him 50/1, Four-time hurdles winner at an ordinary level in 2022. Third both starts in points ahead of this hunter debut. Safely held when third in two minor points this month.

20:50 Cartmel Hunter Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

GABORIOT arrives in better form than when filling the runner-up spot in this race 12 months ago, having won at Cheltenham recently. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's gelding must hold every chance, although the Hexham winner Jerrysback should give him plenty to think about. Amenon was on target at Huntingdon eight days ago and he is no back number, while Windsor Avenue must also enter calculations.

GABORIOT posted win number 4 since the autumn at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago and this versatile performer is fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Jerrysback probably didn't have much to beat at Hexham but he's still a huge threat, with Windsor Avenue also considered.

This looks another good opportunity for GABORIOT, who has made very good progress since finishing second in this event a year ago.

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.
