13:30 Cartmel Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (12/1 -100%) Nellie Bluesky	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Nellie Bluesky 12/1, Modest form at best in a trio in bumpers but a different proposition sent hurdling upped to 20.2f when springing a surprise at Perth last month. That form has taken a few knocks since and this drop back in distance may not be ideal. No fluke about her Perth win but she does appear to have more on her plate here.
1	7 1st (7) (10/3 -21%) Letterston Lily	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(7) Letterston Lily 10/3, Sister to a bumper winner and didn't need to improve on previous form to match that feat at Southwell 3 weeks ago, Form of that nothing to get carried away with but that's a good platform for her hurdles career. Nicely progressive in bumpers and bred to have a future over hurdles.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 -340%) Not Now Nathaniel	5.5 11/2(-340%)	(4) Not Now Nathaniel 11/2, Debut bumper winner who also made a successful start over hurdles (fitted with a hood) in 4-runner novice at Aintree (16.5f) last month. Looked slightly more straightforward when following up at Bangor and her limit has not yet been reached. Major claims. Useful bumper form and has gone 2-2 in a hood over hurdles, easily both times.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -300%) Hard As Nails	12 12/1(-300%)	(1) Hard As Nails 12/1, Dual-bumper winner who went with plenty of zest when making third hurdles start a winning one in uncomplicated fashion at Southwell last month. Probably improved a little again when runner-up under a penalty at Newton Abbot and she should be in the mix. Dual bumper winner who is already looking a consistent hurdler; solid form claims.
4	8 4th (8) (500/1 -400%) Raincloud	500 500/1(-400%)	(8) Raincloud 500/1, Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Pillar of Hercules. Poor maiden on Flat and pulled up on hurdles debut in April. Poor on the Flat; 200-1 when pulled up on hurdling debut having jumped poorly.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 -614%) Baby Evie	100 100/1(-614%)	(5) Baby Evie 100/1, First foal of a fair 2m chase winner. Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, falling last month but represents a yard with an excellent record here. Tongue tie on. Pulled up on pointing debut and was well held when falling in her second run.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (500/1 -400%) Apples Destiny	500 500/1(-400%)	(6) Apples Destiny 500/1, Tailed off in an Aintree bumper in November and fared no better sent hurdling 2 months later. Tailed off in a bumper (66-1) and pulled up on her switch to hurdling (200-1).

13:30 Cartmel Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Donald McCain has a good recent record in this contest and NOT NOW NATHANIEL should make another bold bid for the yard. A winner at Aintree in May, she landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Bangor on her latest start and is taken to defy a double penalty. Hard As Nails ran well again at Newton Abbot when carrying a penalty for an earlier success at Southwell, while bumper winner Letterston Lily is an interesting newcomer to hurdles.

A reasonable race of its type with a quartet of previous hurdles winners and a bumper scorer in opposition. Preference is for NOT NOW NATHANIEL, who isn't the easiest of conveyances but has Brian Hughes on again in her quest for a hat-trick and she may have too much speed for these. Jumping Susie and Hard As Nails are feared most.

The 4yo NOT NOW NATHANIEL holds a couple of her rivals on their bumper clashes and she's made a seamless transition to hurdling.

14:00 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	14 1st (14) (11/1 -83%) City Derby	11 11/1(-83%)	(14) City Derby 11/1, Gained a deserved success in 6-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (8/15) 32 days ago by ½ length from Boomslang, just holding on. Not taken lightly despite a 4 lb rise in the weights. Has revived over C&D since wind op; back up 4lb but plenty of old form was better still.
2	10 2nd (10) (16/1 +0%) Where's Bunny	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Where's Bunny 16/1, On a losing sequence but she recorded a good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (21.6f, good to soft) when last seen out 9 months ago. Tongue strap back on and needs to hit the ground running for her new stable.. Ex-Irish; last won in 2022; none too consistent last year; new yard is notable here.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -40%) Solly Attwell	7 7/1(-40%)	(7) Solly Attwell 7/1, Got off the mark in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Hiked up 11 lb but still in the mix. Off the mark in Tipperary handicap (3m, good to yielding) in May latest; cheekpieces today.
4	2 4th (2) (50/1 -213%) Tupelo Mississippi	50 50/1(-213%)	(2) Tupelo Mississippi 50/1, Scored at Kelso in January but only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good, 8/1) 16 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles with more needed in first-time blinkers. Some changes today, including back from chasing to hurdling first time since March 2021.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/2 -38%) Faithfulflyer	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(5) Faithfulflyer 11/2, On a hat-trick after recent 2m4f handicap wins at Kelso and Uttoxeter (19.9f, good) 24 days ago. Posted a career best on latter occasion 24 days ago so he's a player despite a 9 lb weights rise. Back to form for Kelso win and better than ever to follow up at Uttoxeter, both on good.
6th	12 6th (12) (20/1 +20%) Lone Star	20 20/1(+20%)	(12) Lone Star 20/1, Not proving the easiest to catch right and only seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 16 days ago. Merits consideration though if back on her A-game. Won five handicaps two seasons back and has run creditably on occasions since.
7th	13 7th (13) (16/1 -14%) Vocal Duke	16 16/1(-14%)	(13) Vocal Duke 16/1, Course winner who hinted at a revival after five months off when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 32 days ago. Very much one to consider with that run under his belt. Has not sparked that often in that last two seasons but close up over C&D on latest outing.
8th	4 8th (4) (25/1 -257%) Ciel De Neige	25 25/1(-257%)	(4) Ciel De Neige 25/1, Smart chaser at his peak for Willie Mullins but he's yet to fire for current yard, though not totally disgraced when fourth of 8 in handicap chase here (17.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs to build on it switched to hurdles. Nothing like as good lately but way down weights; first race away from fences since 2021.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 -525%) Balally Park	100 100/1(-525%)	(8) Balally Park 100/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft) 117 days ago on his final run for Thomas Cooper. Makes yard/handicap debut with more required. Well bred but no serious impact in his six races for Tom Cooper in Ireland; handicap debut.
10th	1 10th (1) (33/1 -230%) Our Sam	33 33/1(-230%)	(1) Our Sam 33/1, Course winner who posted a creditable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle here (25.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs considering. Won three last July-October, two here, but all were over further and on good to soft/soft.
11th	6 11th (6) (100/1 -900%) Clonbury Bridge	100 100/1(-900%)	(6) Clonbury Bridge 100/1, Resumed winning ways at Cork in March but a below form twelfth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Ended losing run over 2m4f in the mud at Cork in March; well beaten in better race latest.
12th	3 12th (3) (50/1 -213%) Accidental Rebel	50 50/1(-213%)	(3) Accidental Rebel 50/1, 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 well below par in handicap hurdles at Perth (2) and Hexham for new stable this summer. Back for new yard in April after 418 days off; latest was step back in the right direction.
13th	9 13th (9) (100/1 -525%) Alqamar	100 100/1(-525%)	(9) Alqamar 100/1, Course winner but tried in blinkers for 1st time in this code when only ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (25.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2021. 3-11 at Cartmel but all three of those wins were in the summer of 2021.

14:00 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Plenty with a chance in an open renewal, including last year's runner-up CITY DERBY. He can race off a 7lb lower mark this time, despite scoring over C&D last month, and should be thereabouts at the finish once again. Ciel De Neige hinted at a return to form over fences last time and can race off a 10lb lower mark back over timber, while the progressive Faithfulflyer has been raised 9lb after landing a double at Uttoxeter but can still figure.

BOOMSLANG rates the pick of these weights so gets the vote provided he is none the worse for his successful run here on Friday. Vocal Duke looks primed for a bold showing on the back of his C&D third last time out. Recent scorers Faithfulflyer and City Derby must enter calculations too in this competitive handicap.

This looks competitive but SOLLY ATTWELL (nap), Faithfulflyer, Ciel De Neige and City Derby make up the shortlist.

14:35 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -9%) Saint Bibiana	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Saint Bibiana 3/1, Proved suited by the step up in trip when recording a first win over hurdles at Stratford (26.4f) in May and progressed again when following up at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 25 days ago. Leading contender as she bids for the hat-trick. Back-to-back handicaps wins over 3m2f at Stratford and Newton Abbot; tight tracks suit.
2	8 2nd (8) (80/1 -700%) Jimli's Cave	80 80/1(-700%)	(8) Jimli's Cave 80/1, Has gone the wrong way from his hurdling debut effort, faring no better in first-time cheekpieces when well beaten in handicap at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) in April. Step up in trip not enough to tempt. Tailed off in his two handicaps in Ireland (2m3f/2m4f) and has no obvious form claims.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 -100%) Balkotic	16 16/1(-100%)	(6) Balkotic 16/1, Having dropped below his last winning mark, shaped encouragingly after 4 months off when 3¼ lengths third of 9 to the reopposing Rumble B at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort. Fairly treated and gave it a good go from the front last time at Hexham.
4	9 4th (9) (9/1 -13%) Secret Secret	9 9/1(-13%)	(9) Secret Secret 9/1, Firmly back on track for this yard in second half of last year, scoring at this course (22.1f) and at Kelso. After 6 months off, looked rusty when fifth of 13 here (22.1f, good to soft) in May, but will need to find more from his current mark. Course winner and last month's run may have been needed; commands respect.
5th	3 5th (3) (22/1 -57%) Native Fighter	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Native Fighter 22/1, Successful twice at this course in 2021 and, though winless since, he went close here (22.1f) last August. Well held on his last 2 starts, but shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off back at this venue in May. Others still more persuasive. Tailed off behind Pateen last time and presumably rejected by Charlotte Jones.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 -191%) Lets Do This	16 16/1(-191%)	(2) Lets Do This 16/1, Much improved when runner-up at Sligo (25.5f) on his handicap debut last summer, but ended 2023 with a lesser effort at Limerick (21f, heavy) in December. Has something to find on his return as he goes back up in trip with hood applied. Peak Irish form offers hope and slow ground against him the last twice; now hooded.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -1329%) Rumble B	100 100/1(-1329%)	(7) Rumble B 100/1, Has been thriving of late, making it 3 wins from 5 starts when scoring at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) in May. Continued in good heart when third at the same C&D (soft) last time and he's respected in his current form. 3-37 under rules but all wins have come in his last 6 runs; chance in current vein of form.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 -211%) Pateen	14 14/1(-211%)	(5) Pateen 14/1, Stepped up on his reappearance when getting back to winning ways at this course (22.1f, good to soft) last month, keeping on well. That was his second win from just 5 starts at this track, so he's not taken lightly with cheekpieces back on. Won comfortably over 2m6f here last month for which a 4lb rise seems very fair.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 -142%) Famous Response	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Famous Response 80/1, Uttoxeter novice hurdle winner for Dan Skelton in July 2022 but little impact in only 3 starts for his current yard. Fit from points, was never comfortable with the pace when mid-field in handicap at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Visor now reached for. Opposable on his handicap exploits for this yard; visor replaces cheekpieces.

14:35 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

SAINT BIBIANA has improved for the step up to 3m2f and followed an earlier success at Stratford with a cosy win at Newton Abbot. She can shrug off a 4lb rise and go close again. Pateen won over 2m6f here last time with plenty left in the tank and is another to consider, while Rumble B had the measure of Balkotic (third) when scoring at Hexham last month.

SAINT BIBIANA has shown improved form stepped up in trip on her last 2 starts, showing a good attitude when scoring at Newton Abbot at the beginning of the month, and she can go on to land the hat-trick with more still to offer. Pateen recorded his second course success here in May and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Rumble B.

The now-hooded LETS DO THIS lacks a recent run but he has threatened on good ground in Ireland and his slow-ground defeats are excused.

15:10 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (13/2 +13%) Fiveonefive	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(1) Fiveonefive 13/2, Won this corresponding race last year (from 4 lb lower) and added a third success to his tally at Hereford in November. Easy to excuse his latest effort at Listowel (16f, good to soft) earlier this month (never on terms after bad mistake fifth) so fancied to get back on track. 4lb higher than for last year's narrow win and looks vulnerable with top weight.
2	12 2nd (12) (12/1 +0%) King Otis	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) King Otis 12/1, Made it 4 wins from 7 starts for this yard when striking at Fakenham (2m, good) recently. Wasn't disgraced off a career-high mark at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 12 days ago but the likelihood is he'll find a few too strong, even with Harry Cobden taking over in the plate. This is another step up in grade but likes sharp tracks and Cartmel should be up his alley.
3	11 3rd (11) (40/1 -300%) Book Of Secrets	40 40/1(-300%)	(11) Book Of Secrets 40/1, Ran away with a weak maiden at Market Rasen last August. Well held on next 2 starts, but attracted support and shaped better than the bare result on first start for this yard when fifth of 9 at Hexham (16.2f, soft) earlier in the month, just too fresh to last home. Hood on and not discounted. Accustomed to softer races than this one and needs the hood to bring him on.
4	8 4th (8) (50/1 -400%) Well Educated	50 50/1(-400%)	(8) Well Educated 50/1, Confirmed previous encouragement when capitalising on a reduced mark at Hexham last month and followed up 5 days later at Kelso. Found the task of completing a second career hat-trick beyond him back at former track just over 2 weeks ago and turned out quickly enough again. In form until last time; now has to bounce back in a competitive, classier race.
5th	9 5th (9) (80/1 -567%) Elogio	80 80/1(-567%)	(9) Elogio 80/1, Wide-margin winner of Aintree bumper on debut/sole start for Richard Bandey in November 2022. Fair form over hurdles for current yard, off the mark in this sphere at Wetherby on Boxing Day, but well held on both subsequent outings. Has left Tom Lacey (£13,000) and cheekpieces are reapplied. Won in these aids on Boxing Day and they now return for first time since; stable debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (100/1 -1150%) Hurricane Ali	100 100/1(-1150%)	(5) Hurricane Ali 100/1, Long time since last win but made an encouraging start for a new yard (formerly with John Mackie) after 6 months off when second of 7 in handicap at this course (22.1f, soft) last month, tying up final 50 yds. Nudged up 3 lb and this drop back in trip rates a positive. Big chance. Multiple winner at about 2m and ran surprisingly well on stable debut over 2m6f here.
7th	4 7th (4) (100/1 -525%) Nayati	100 100/1(-525%)	(4) Nayati 100/1, Won 3 times in 2022/23 season. Reappearance fifth at Huntingdon in November was creditable but he ran poorly at Musselburgh a month later and disappointed for a second successive start when last seen at Stratford in March (held when fell last). Handicapper given him a chance but more required. The oldest member of this field and with a good bit to prove now.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -1567%) A Law Of Her Own	100 100/1(-1567%)	(6) A Law Of Her Own 100/1, Winner of a mares' handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) for Peter Fahey last summer. Generally below par after but has made a solid start for new connections this season, finding just one too strong at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. Should continue to be thereabouts. Bang there in two of her three handicaps for Dan Skelton without looking ahead of her mark.
9th	2 9th (2) (100/1 -1567%) Petit Tonnerre	100 100/1(-1567%)	(2) Petit Tonnerre 100/1, Useful hurdler who didn't convince with his jumping tried chasing last season. Back over hurdles at the end of the campaign, finishing with running left when mid-field at Ayr in April but unable to build on that back up in trip at Aintree (20f, good to soft) subsequently. Underwhelming latest effort but he has the ability to go very well.
10th	7 10th (7) (100/1 -2757%) Je T'ai Porte	100 100/1(-2757%)	(7) Je T'ai Porte 100/1, Useful chaser who scored at Ballinrobe last month before doubling her tally in a novice chase at Roscommon (16.8f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. Back over timber here and this Irish raider warrants considerable respect in her current mood. Better chaser but capable hurdler and Gavin Cromwell's British raids always catch the eye.
11th	10 11th (10) (100/1 -733%) Scots Poet	100 100/1(-733%)	(10) Scots Poet 100/1, Returned to winning ways at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and bounced back from a poor run when finding plenty to score at Perth in April. Shaped as if still in good form back at latter venue (16.2f, good to soft) just over 6 weeks ago but this is a tougher assignment. This year's two wins have come at a lower level and this mark looks challenging.
12th	3 12th (3) (100/1 -1150%) Luttrell Lad	100 100/1(-1150%)	(3) Luttrell Lad 100/1, Resumed winning ways over C&D last summer and has acquitted himself well since returning from a break in November, fourth of 17 in Swinton Handicap at Haydock (15.6f, good to firm) just over 7 weeks ago. Drops in class and no surprise to see him involved returned to this venue. High in the weights but it was a respectable effort in the Swinton last time.

15:10 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

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

HURRICANE ALI finished second over 2m6f at this venue on his debut for these connections a month ago and the drop in trip could help him to go one better on this occasion. A Law Of Her Own arrives here on the back of two encouraging efforts in defeat and she could prove to the the main threat, ahead of Petit Tonnerre and King Otis.

A competitive feature hurdle in which the suggestion is LUTTRELL LAD, who won a female riders' event over C&D last summer and has held his form well since. Jimmy Moffatt and Charlotte Jones are a potent combination at this venue and their Hurricane Ali is fancied to go close on the back of an encouraging return last month, with Irish-raider Je T'Ai Porte and A Law of Her Own another couple fancied to be in the shake-up, too.

The Cartmel experience will be new to him but PETIT TONNERRE is accustomed to competing in stronger races than this one.

15:45 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 2) 21f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (3/1 +40%) Charlie Uberalles	3 3/1(+40%)	(10) Charlie Uberalles 3/1, Dual 3m chase winner in 2022. Only good effort last season came away from the mud when third in Premier Handicap at Doncaster (3m) in January. Step back in right direction when second of 5 here (25.5f, good to soft) 36 days ago, clear of rest. Becoming well treated and drying ground in his favour. Best run since Great Yorkshire Chase third when runner-up over 3m1f here last time.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 -140%) Bella Bliss	12 12/1(-140%)	(9) Bella Bliss 12/1, Three wins from 13 runs last season. Good second of 5 in mares chase (7/2) at Limerick (19.7f, good) last month but disappointed back hurdling 3 weeks ago. Dual chase winner; good 2nd over 2m3f on good two runs back; interesting jockey booking.
3	4 3rd (4) (40/1 -700%) Francky Du Berlais	40 40/1(-700%)	(4) Francky Du Berlais 40/1, Dual winner of the Summer Plate. Placed 3 times last season, including when second in cross-country event at Cheltenham in December. Below par next 2 starts but back to form when third at Perth 3 weeks ago. Dual Summer Plate winner; creditable third at Perth latest; each-way chance.
4	1 4th (1) (100/1 -1567%) Final Orders	100 100/1(-1567%)	(1) Final Orders 100/1, Stopped the slide when fourth at Punchestown but he's inconsistent nowadays so needs to back that up. Five-time chase winner, latest in early 2023; fair fourth last time; a contender.
5th	7 5th (7) (100/1 -1329%) Glory And Honour	100 100/1(-1329%)	(7) Glory And Honour 100/1, Bagged his second chase win at Doncaster in December and not disgraced since. Possibilities, though this trip is beyond his optimum. Won two novice h'caps at up to 2m3f last year; mixed form this time; others stronger..
6th	3 6th (3) (100/1 -1233%) Irish Blaze	100 100/1(-1233%)	(3) Irish Blaze 100/1, Latest win in chase at Down Royal in January. Found Red Rum at Aintree too competitive before stamina stretched at Killarney (26f), but more of an impact when fourth at Punchestown (20.2f, good, 40/1) 3 weeks ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not taken lightly. Three good runs in novice chases for this yard and sound h'cap run latest; interesting.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -560%) Ganapathi	66 66/1(-560%)	(8) Ganapathi 66/1, Useful hurdle/chase winner for Willie Mullins but drawn a blank for Patrick Neville and Mike Smith. However, some encouragement when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Perth (20.1f, good to firm, 11/1) on second start for this yard 3 weeks ago and headgear back on. Not the force of old; 2 fair runs for this yard but a bit to find with Francky Du Berlais.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -614%) Coqolino	100 100/1(-614%)	(6) Coqolino 100/1, Often let down by jumping for Gordon Elliott and ran no sort of race on debut for this yard 5 weeks ago. Best to look elsewhere. Ex-Gordon Elliott; quite a useful hurdler; 0-10 over fences (not jump well here last time).
9th	2 9th (2) (100/1 -900%) Mackenberg	100 100/1(-900%)	(2) Mackenberg 100/1, Five-time winner over fences who was poised to get back on the scoreboard before unseating rider late on at Hereford (16f, soft) in March. Struggled in Red Rum at Aintree since but will find this much less demanding. Good second at Wetherby in October; unlucky two runs back; chance unless going turn soft.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (100/1 -1329%) Arthur's Quay	100 100/1(-1329%)	(5) Arthur's Quay 100/1, Back on the scoresheet with a decisive display in this race 12 months ago off 7 lb lower. Followed up at Catterick in November and much better effort since when respectable fourth over C&D 5 weeks ago. Big run could be on the cards. Five chase wins including over C&D; should improve for his latest run (back after a break).

15:45 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

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

FRANCKY DU BERLAIS was far from disgraced when third in a competitive event over 2m4f at Perth last time and that form gives him a big chance in a race of this nature. Final Orders has not been at his very best of late but should not be underestimated at this level, while Irish Blaze and Ganapathi are others who merit places on the shortlist.

CHARLIE UBERALLES is lurking on a dangerous mark having finished third in the Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster off 4 lb higher in January and his latest second here was a big step back in the right direction. This has likely been the target for last year's winner Arthur's Quay and he rates the main threat ahead of Irish Blaze.

Although lacking a recent win Irish raider FINAL ORDERS has plenty going for him here and is taken to beat Francky Du Berlais.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (10/1 +17%) Cuzco Du Mathan	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Cuzco Du Mathan 10/1, French recruit who produced much his best effort so far on these shores when bolting up in the first-time visor over hurdles here in August. Not in same form next time and only sixth of 7 in handicap chase at this course (21.2f, good) 2 days ago. Two places chasing in France in 2022; won over hurdles since; will improve on Friday's run.
1	7 1st (7) (6/4 +73%) Dr Sanderson	1.5 6/4(+73%)	(7) Dr Sanderson 6/4, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at this course (21.2f, good, 5/2) 2 days ago. Enters calculations. 33lb lower than for C&D win in July 2022; fair runs last twice (fourth here on Friday).
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 -33%) Lermoos Legend	8 8/1(-33%)	(3) Lermoos Legend 8/1, Won 23f handicap chase at Worcester last summer. Low-key efforts over fences during the spring but he did show better signs following a short break when sixth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Could build on that returned to larger obstacles. Good record over fences here; disappointing last three starts; may do better now back here.
3	1 3rd (1) (100/1 -1150%) Thank You Blue	100 100/1(-1150%)	(1) Thank You Blue 100/1, Winner of maiden hurdle at Sedgefield in November but found life tougher in handicap company this spring. A switch to fences needs to have a positive effect but that not out of the question. Maiden hurdle winner last term; didn't progress in handicaps; bit to prove on chase debut.
4	10 4th (10) (100/1 -3233%) Melvich Bay	100 100/1(-3233%)	(10) Melvich Bay 100/1, Long-standing maiden over hurdles but bettered those exploits at second attempt over fences when landing 8-runner C&D contest 32 days ago, asserting quickly and kept up to work. Up 6 lb now but she remains lightly raced enough to think she can do better again in this sphere. C&D winner on first outing here last month (soft); 6lb higher; a possible.
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 -725%) Minella Youngy	66 66/1(-725%)	(5) Minella Youngy 66/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and opened his account for Iain Jardine over fences at Kelso (17f) in September. Faced no easy task from out of weights on return/yard debut at Ayr (16.5f) in April and better anticipated with cheekpieces refitted/racing off correct mark. Ex-Iain Jardine; good C&D third in August; stiff task latest; chance with headgear back on.
6th	9 6th (9) (100/1 -900%) Check My Pulse	100 100/1(-900%)	(9) Check My Pulse 100/1, Winless since 2022 but he did prove he retains some ability after 7 months off when third of 9 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f) 6 weeks ago. However, percentage call is to look elsewhere. Not won since 2022, but has run well on several occasions including when third last time.
7th	4 7th (4) (100/1 -1329%) Post No Bills	100 100/1(-1329%)	(4) Post No Bills 100/1, Bagged 3 handicap chases in 2023 (including here), readily making all at Plumpton (17f, good) for latest success in September. Hasn't scaled same heights in handful of chase tries since the spring but record here is a pretty solid one and he's fallen 5 lb below last winning mark. Course winner; on a good mark but mainly out of form this year; needs to bounce back.
8th	8 8th (8) (100/1 -400%) Gouet Des Bruyeres	100 100/1(-400%)	(8) Gouet Des Bruyeres 100/1, Three-time winner over fences but out of sorts when last seen and returns from 6 months off with something to prove. Ex-Oliver Greenall; suited by good/fast ground and 14lb lower than last win (2022).
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (100/1 -1567%) Tonto's Spirit	100 100/1(-1567%)	(6) Tonto's Spirit 100/1, Veteran who dug deep when adding a sixth C&D success to his tally last summer. Failed to complete both starts at Sedgefield since, latterly when pulled up (after 7 months off) in May. Return to this venue a plus but he could need a few runs to put him spot on. Nine-time course winner; rather unpredictable these days but capable of going well.

16:20 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

A 6lb rise for Melvich Bay's first victory over track and trip last month looks more than workable and Danny Brooke's mare must enter calculations on just her third appearance over fences. However, it could be worth taking a chance on CHECK MY PULSE building on his third-placed reappearance at Hexham. The eight-year-old is now 7lb below his last winning mark and shades the vote. Dual C&D scorer Lermoos Legend is also noted.

MELVICH BAY improved on anything she had achieved over hurdles when running out a good winner of a C&D handicap chase 32 days ago and she could well be up to defying a 6 lb rise for all this rates tougher. Minella Youngy and Post No Bills are others to consider, as is Dr Sanderson if lining up (respectable fourth here Friday).

In a tricky race MINELLA YOUNGY is selected to beat the well-handicapped course winners Lermoos Legend and Dr Sanderson.

1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +33%) Roll With It	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Roll With It 4/1, Hurdles winner for Richard Spencer last summer and has translated that ability to fences for new stable in in recent weeks, finishing fifth here last month and third at Uttoxeter 15 days ago. Steps up in trip with cheekpieces added. Hurdle winner; two fair chase runs for this yard; cheekpieces tried; stamina to prove.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/1 +31%) Cash Again	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Cash Again 11/1, Placed over hurdles and fences here for Ben Haslam last summer. Also a creditable third in a 3m Hexham handicap chase for this stable in September. Fit from a creditable run in a hunter here 32 days ago. Second in this race in 2023; 2lb higher; fair run in C&D hunter chase latest; place chance.
3	10 3rd (10) (20/1 -233%) Calahill	20 20/1(-233%)	(10) Calahill 20/1, Poor hurdler but did win a point prior to finishing a respectable fifth back hurdling at Downpatrick recently and that point background provides hope that he'll take to fences. Maiden point winner in May and fair fifth in 2m6f h'cap hurdle latest; chase debut.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -567%) Lights Are Green	40 40/1(-567%)	(5) Lights Are Green 40/1, C&D winner. Arrives on the back of a couple of respectable efforts at Hexham this month and likely to be in the thick of things back at a venue which suits. C&D winner on good last year; fair form since, including last time; chance.
5th	3 5th (3) (25/1 -56%) The King Of May	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) The King Of May 25/1, Would be thrown in off this mark if anywhere near his best but he has struggled since finishing third over hurdles at Carlisle in November. Remains to be seen whether a return to fences sparks a revival. Last chase win was off 34lb higher in 2022; disappointing this year; stamina to prove.
6th	6 6th (6) (100/1 -1150%) Macavity	100 100/1(-1150%)	(6) Macavity 100/1, Bumper/point winner who was second in a 3-runner Huntingdon hunter (23.5f, good to soft) for Jack Teal last month. Behind Lights Are Green when only sixth in a Hexham handicap for this yard since, though. Has won three points and a bumper; fair sixth at Hexham last time; others appeal more.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -900%) The Electrician	100 100/1(-900%)	(7) The Electrician 100/1, Bounced back to form to rout a ropey field from a much-reduced mark at Market Rasen last month but a 9 lb rise proved enough to find him out back there since. Three wins chasing, all at 2m4f/2m5f, latest in May; 9lb higher; stamina to prove.
8th	9 8th (9) (100/1 -900%) Sputnik	100 100/1(-900%)	(9) Sputnik 100/1, Placed 5 times since his last win and stepped up on his reappearance when fourth of 11 in 3m Perth handicap hurdle 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on for only a second time. Claims from his reduced mark. Two chase wins over 2m4f; fair fourth in 3m h'cap hurdle last time; a possible.
9th	2 9th (2) (100/1 -1150%) Toucan Sam	100 100/1(-1150%)	(2) Toucan Sam 100/1, Modest maiden chaser who was placed on 3 occasions last month but needs to shrug off a poor run at Perth 3 weeks ago. 0-14, but placed in points and chases, latest when third last month; cheekpieces now tried.
10th	8 10th (8) (100/1 -4344%) Baron Briggs	100 100/1(-4344%)	(8) Baron Briggs 100/1, Not the most fluent of jumpers but it didn't prevent him opening his chase account at Kelso (23.5f, soft) 5 weeks ago. A 5 lb rise doesn't look too severe if he can keep the errors down. Won Kelso 2m7f novice handicap on good to soft last time; up 5lb; chance.

16:55 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

BARON BRIGGS justified strong support in the market when opening his account at Kelso last month. The Ocovango gelding scored with something up his sleeve on that occasion and a 5lb rise looks far from insurmountable. The biggest threat is C&D winner Lights Are Green, who shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when finishing fourth at Hexham recently. The King Of May's interests could be sparked by a switch to chasing.

Perhaps former C&D scorer LIGHTS ARE GREEN will prove the answer to a trappy finale as his 2 Hexham efforts this month have been creditable and he's only 1 lb above the mark he defied here last summer. Last month's Kelso scorer Baron Briggs will be a threat if his jumping holds up, while Roll With It could also play a part if reacting well to first-time cheekpieces.

Recent Hexham fourth LIGHTS ARE GREEN is taken to win his second race over C&D by beating Kelso winner Baron Briggs.
