14:20 Cartmel (Class 4) 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (30/100 +10%) Dignam	0.3 30/100(+10%)	(1) Dignam 30/100, Quickened clear comfortably and improved to defy a penalty when winning a juvenile hurdle at Uttoxeter over 2m by 7 1/2l last time. Steadily progressive; useful on the Flat, with more to come over hurdles. Smart Flat form and looked a natural over hurdles in winning at Newton Abbot and Uttoxeter.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +29%) Zaraquelle	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Zaraquelle 5/1, Ran to form when 4l third in a handicap over 12f at Wolverhampton most recent run; should improve for initial hurdles experience. No obvious reason why she should reverse previous Uttoxeter placings with Dignam.
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 +65%) Green Asset	14 14/1(+65%)	(3) Green Asset 14/1, Outclassed on hurdle debut when comfortably held in a juvenile hurdle at Newton Abbot last time; has only an outside chance. Never progressed after a promising start for Jim Bolger; well behind Dignam at Uttoxeter.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 -122%) Junkyard Dog	10 10/1(-122%)	(4) Junkyard Dog 10/1, Poor run back on the Flat when well beaten in a handicap over 1m5f at Hamilton latest; generally out of form. Effective 10-12f on the Flat and 2m over hurdles, acts on good and soft ground. Flat winner in Ireland and placed over hurdles; quiet Flat debut for this stable.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -12%) Big Gypsy King	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Big Gypsy King 28/1, Made too much use of when down the field in a handicap over 7f at Doncaster most recent. Suited by 7f but yet to show effectiveness on turf. 7f AW winner; finished last on final Flat run; stamina reservations for hurdling.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (66/1 -230%) Urban Sky	66 66/1(-230%)	(5) Urban Sky 66/1, Made too much use of when stepped up in trip and did not stay, finishing down the field in a handicap over 8f at Hamilton most recent. Hood first time; trainer in form; off a short break. Effective 6-7f, yet to prove stamina for further. Regressed in five races after making a winning debut over 6f for Richard Fahey.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (125/1 -89%) Black Sky	125 125/1(-89%)	(2) Black Sky 125/1, Looked awkward under pressure when beaten 7l in a handicap over 8f at Pontefract last time. Tongue-tie first time; exposed as poor. Unplaced in all nine Flat races and now has a basement handicap mark.

14:20 Cartmel (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Having made light work of his rivals on both outings over hurdles to date, this looks a suitable opportunity for DIGNAM to complete the hat-trick. Although a 12lb penalty will make life more difficult for the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt, his Flat ability suggests he's up to the task. Ex-stablemate Junkyard Dog posted a respectable third-placed timber debut at Tipperary towards the beginning of July and is feared most now under the tutelage of Iain Jardine. Zaraquelle is the pick of the remainder.

Useful on the Flat and now looking a smart juvenile hurdler for this time of year, there's little temptation to see beyond DIGNAM.

14:55 Cartmel (Class 4) 22f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/4 +78%) Do No Wrong	2.25 9/4(+78%)	(3) Do No Wrong 9/4, Scored by 11l off 113 over 3m at Southwell three starts back, aided by a strong early pace and liking the track. Below form when fifth beaten 10l off 120 last time. Top jockey back on board and has a chance. Returns to hurdling off a lower mark and he's capable in this scene.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 +40%) City Derby	12 12/1(+40%)	(4) City Derby 12/1, Below form when comfortably held in a higher-grade handicap hurdle here last time. Generally out of form. Won four times here last summer but has looked a little out of sorts this season.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/2 -120%) Star Legend	5.5 11/2(-120%)	(6) Star Legend 11/2, Scored by a neck off 75 over 2m at Lingfield in June. Ran to form up in trip last time, outstayed when second beaten 3/4l off 100. Looks thrown in on flat form but may prefer a return to 2m1/2f. Clear of the rest behind a lightly raced winner at Worcester a month ago.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 -100%) Secret Secret	4.5 9/2(-100%)	(7) Secret Secret 9/2, Improved on recent efforts at a favoured venue when landing a handicap by 9l off 94 here last time. Well treated on old form and the pick on balance of form. Easy winner here last time but may need soft ground to defy this higher mark.
5th	1 5th (1) (8/1 -33%) Whizz Kid	8 8/1(-33%)	(1) Whizz Kid 8/1, Finished down the field when below form in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Had been in good form beforehand and may be better suited returning to 2m. Took a backward step at Uttoxeter with the cheekpieces added (retained here).
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 -129%) Evenwood Sonofagun	16 16/1(-129%)	(5) Evenwood Sonofagun 16/1, Scored by 4l off 95 here in May, running to form with a slight drop in trip. Raced wide and keen when finishing a below-form 12th, beaten 31l off 106 last time. Disappointed back here last month but in a higher grade and certainly commands respect.
7th	11 7th (11) (6/1 +85%) Sky Luna	6 6/1(+85%)	(11) Sky Luna 6/1, Failed to handle soft ground when down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recently. Generally out of form. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and has a significant jockey booking. Ran okay to be fourth here on Saturday but she's 3lb wrong this time.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (12/1 +64%) Harper Valley	12 12/1(+64%)	(2) Harper Valley 12/1, Never travelled and finished down the field in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Perth last time. Usually held up and looks on a stiff mark. Had a bit of a shocker at Perth when the cheekpieces were back on.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (14/1 +13%) Our Laura B	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Our Laura B 14/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 8 1/2l, in a 3m1f handicap hurdle here latest, proving her stamina. Returning from a long layoff. Running well when last seen, finishing about 8l behind City Derby in a 3m1f handicap here.

14:55 Cartmel (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Secret Secret looked back to his best when coming home nine lengths clear of his nearest pursuer over C&D and merits strong consideration in his follow-up bid. However, an 8lb rise does demand more and it could be worth chancing the down-in-class CITY DERBY. Lizzie Quinlan's charge showed more spark on the back of a wind procedure when fifth here last month and he could be poised to strike. Whizz Kid is also noted.

The call is DO NO WRONG who has been in competitive form over fences and he's on better terms with the handicapper in this discipline.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3/1 +45%) Imperial Data	3 3/1(+45%)	(5) Imperial Data 3/1, Travelled strongly and returned to form when landing a handicap by a short head off 119 over 2m6f here last time; has a chance. Had wind op since leading on the line here last month; 5lb higher.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 -14%) Pounding Poet	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Pounding Poet 4/1, Ran to form at a favoured venue when leaders got racing early, landing a handicap hurdle by 1 1/2l off 117 over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time. Top jockey is back on board and he remains well treated on best form. He was well backed when returning to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m7f).
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +22%) Saint Bibiana	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(4) Saint Bibiana 7/2, Well treated up 6lb and ran to form when suited by a positive ride at a sharp track, scoring by 2 1/4l off 116 over 2m7f at Uttoxeter two starts back. Rallied gamely again last time, beaten 1 1/2l off 123; progressive. In-form mare whose defeat last time was no backward step; C&D winner.
4	6 4th (6) (3/1 +25%) Caughtinyourtrance	3 3/1(+25%)	(6) Caughtinyourtrance 3/1, From a yard that has won 2 of the last 5 runnings of this race. Ran gamely to defy a penalty when winning a novice hurdle here over 2m6f by 1 1/4l last time; top jockey returns to ride; may stay 3m. Maiden/novice winner; the RPRs he posted suggests this mark should be manageable.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 +15%) Kiss My Face	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Kiss My Face 28/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Worcester last time; returning from a break and has a bit to find. Tailed off at Worcester in May and now returns from another break; 7lb wrong.
6th	2 6th (2) (66/1 -371%) The Jam Man	66 66/1(-371%)	(2) The Jam Man 66/1, Finished 44l third in a conditions race over 3m at Taylorstown on his latest run; returns from a long absence. A former Troytown winner who stays 3m well, but must prove ability remains. Long-time absent and questionable how much ability this multiple jumps winner retains.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (9/1 +18%) Wbee	9 9/1(+18%)	(3) Wbee 9/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f here last time; considered a value selection on the balance of his form. Third here in May but two lesser efforts have followed.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (9/1 +44%) Our Sam	9 9/1(+44%)	(9) Our Sam 9/1, From a yard that has won 2 of the last 5 runnings of this race. Below form when stepped up in grade and possibly found the ground a bit quick when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f here last time; has a bit to find. Respectable efforts this year but not as good as he was; 10lb out of the weights.

15:30 Cartmel (Class 2) 25f Race Class Flow

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

The reapplication of a visor appeared to help POUNDING POET when he got the better of Saint Bibiana at Uttoxeter last month. A 5lb rise for Tom Lacey's inmate looks manageable and a sixth career victory could be on the cards. Saint Bibiana had previously recorded a hat-trick and she isn't taken lightly, but a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of handicap debutant Caughtinyourtrance, who looked one to follow when completing a double here.

There's not a lot between SAINT BIBIANA (nap) and Pounding Poet on their Uttoxeter encounter but the selection has course form.

16:05 Cartmel (Class 3) 25f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (9/4 +44%) Olivers Travels	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(7) Olivers Travels 9/4, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 115 over 2m7f at Market Rasen last time. A top jockey is back on board and, as a strong stayer, further should suit. Dual chase winner; third in his final chase and a good run over hurdles since then.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +17%) Lord Accord	10 10/1(+17%)	(8) Lord Accord 10/1, Well held when below form in a 3m2f handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Generally out of form and needs to come down a few pounds. Well handicapped but not at his best of late and was behind Olivers Travels at Uttoxeter.
3	10 3rd (10) (9/2 +63%) Shadows In The Sky	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(10) Shadows In The Sky 9/2, Improved when stepped up in trip, going clear to score by 10l off 104 over 3m at Southwell three runs back. Ran to form back down in trip under a big weight, finishing third in a novice hurdle at Worcester most recently; a value selection on balance of form. All good for James Owen over hurdles and fences; lurks off a low weight.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +33%) Charlie Uberalles	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Charlie Uberalles 8/1, Improved again at his favoured venue when suited by a positive ride, scoring by 3l off 132 over 2m5f here penultimate start. Never travelled and pulled up in the Summer Plate Handicap Chase latest when unable to dominate; likes to make it but on a stiff mark. Excellent course record and not handicapped out of contention by any means.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 -14%) Ilikedwayurthinkin	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Ilikedwayurthinkin 8/1, Travelled well when returning to form down in trip and grade, fortunate to score by 10l off 129 over 3m5f here penultimate start after the winner was disqualified. Below form when fourth beaten 13l off 130 last time; returns from a short break but looks stiffly treated. 3m5f winner here in May and would have found 2m5f too sharp on return visit.
6th	9 6th (9) (22/1 -83%) Equus Dancer	22 22/1(-83%)	(9) Equus Dancer 22/1, Returned to form when second, beaten 10l, in a 3m5f handicap chase here last time but was outstayed late. Off a short break. Second over 3m5f here three months ago, finishing 10l behind Ilikedwayurthinkin.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 +29%) Stans The Man	10 10/1(+29%)	(6) Stans The Man 10/1, Improved when suited by a positive ride and sharp track, winning comfortably by 12l off 118 over 3m4f at Stratford three starts back. Returns from a short break but the handicapper may now be catching up. Paid the price for winning so well at Stratford in May and others look better treated..
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (9/1 +25%) Will Carver	9 9/1(+25%)	(3) Will Carver 9/1, Failed to stay when well beaten in a 3m handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and returns from a break but has a bit to find. His second at Ayr in April gives him claims but he's wickedly inconsistent.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (13/2 -160%) Sea The Clouds	6.5 13/2(-160%)	(4) Sea The Clouds 13/2, Stable has won two of the last five runnings of this race. Well treated on hurdle form and built on a recent revival when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 123 over 2m1f here on chase debut. The pick on balance of form. For one who stays 3m2f he did well to make a winning chase debut over 2m1f here.

16:05 Cartmel (Class 3) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Jimmy Moffatt sent out consecutive winners of this race in 2021 and 2022, which bodes well for dual course scorer SEA THE CLOUDS. Versatile regarding distance, Moffatt's eight-year-old has winning form over this sort of trip and could be tough to overhaul, despite a 6lb rise for a victory over an extended 2m1f here last month. Shadows In The Sky stays well and rates the chief danger. Mickey Bowen's pair Olivers Travels and Equus Dancer complete the shortlist.

If his jumping can stand the test then OLIVERS TRAVELS looks to have as good a chance as any. Ilikedwayurthinkin is second choice.

1	1 1st (1) (33/1 +0%) Champagne Gold	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Champagne Gold 33/1, Below form when back over fences, finishing fourth beaten 31l in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time; returns from a short break and has been out of form since moving from Ireland. Smart in Ireland but needed to show more in his first two runs for this yard.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 -10%) Ile De Jersey	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(4) Ile De Jersey 11/2, Improved on chase return, the margin exaggerated by a late faller, winning by 17l off 121 over 2m4f at Worcester on her penultimate start; the pick on the balance of form. Hurdle/chase winner; third hurdling last time but of the flights were omitted.
3	9 3rd (9) (15/2 +38%) Nickelforce	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(9) Nickelforce 15/2, Ran to form but flattened out late when stepped up in trip, finishing fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a strongly run 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. 3m perhaps stretched him last time; solid chance on previous second at Market Rasen.
4	12 4th (12) (9/2 +18%) Sean Og	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(12) Sean Og 9/2, Won this race last year; travelled well and won cosily by 17l off 100 here two starts ago when back down in trip; well placed off a modest pace when third, beaten a length off 108 here last time; still has a bit to find. Last year's winner and further good runs at this track, including last time.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 0%) Arthur's Quay	16 16/1(0%)	(5) Arthur's Quay 16/1, Outpaced and a little below form when upped in grade, though stayed the longer trip when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; had been in good form prior; returns from a short break and has a bit to find. Getting long in the tooth but shouldn't go under the radar with his course form.
6th	2 6th (2) (18/1 -13%) Yccs Portocervo	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Yccs Portocervo 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time; enjoys racing prominently; back from a short break; favours a sound surface and may have been flattered by hunter chase form. Had been hunter chasing before pulling up on his return to handicaps at Market Rasen.
7th	11 7th (11) (12/1 +52%) Cuzco Du Mathan	12 12/1(+52%)	(11) Cuzco Du Mathan 12/1, Stopped quickly after a bad error and may have found the ground too quick when well beaten in a handicap chase here last time; top jockey back on board. Beaten a long way here on Saturday (2m1f) and would prefer slower ground.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -80%) Hurricane Ali	18 18/1(-80%)	(7) Hurricane Ali 18/1, Had too much to do but returned to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 112 over 2m1f here last time; tongue-tie for the first time; well handicapped on hurdle form and should improve for a bit further than 2m. Capable on his day but never went a yard here on Saturday and was pulled up.
9th	3 9th (3) (18/1 +45%) Breizh River	18 18/1(+45%)	(3) Breizh River 18/1, Raced too freely up in trip after wind surgery, failing to stay when fourth beaten 14l in a 3m handicap chase at Perth last time; second run after wind operation and needs drop back from 3m. Has lost his way since winning in October; beaten about 14l in recent visits to Perth.
10th	6 10th (6) (22/1 -100%) Half Shot	22 22/1(-100%)	(6) Half Shot 22/1, Outstayed late at a stiff track when third, beaten 10l, in a 3m handicap chase at Perth on latest start; likes to race prominently and has a top jockey back on board; not out of it. Solid enough runs at Perth the last twice (3m) and he's fine at this trip.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (13/8 +41%) River Of Joy	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(10) River Of Joy 13/8, Travelled strongly and ran to form when winning a handicap by 1/2l off 107 here last time; raised 7lb but remains progressive; top jockey back on board. Made it 2-2 over fences when running on well to deny No But I Will over C&D.

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

RIVER OF JOY completed a brace of wins by outstaying the opposition in a similar event over C&D last month. That was a better round of jumping than she posted when successful at Hexham on her previous start and was conclusive evidence that she is learning on the job. This is more competitive, though, and the likes of Ile De Jersey and Nickelforce are capable making it a tougher assignment for the selection.

Ben Case's NICKELFORCE has been running well all season and he just ran out of puff late on when stretched by 3m last time.

1	4 1st (4) (11/2 -57%) Dexter	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(4) Dexter 11/2, Below form when third beaten 21l in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester on most recent run. Well handicapped on French form and could do better on easier ground. Five wins in France; nearly won over 2m before not appearing to stay 2m4f.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 +22%) Prospect House	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(6) Prospect House 7/2, Travelled strongly, readily scoring by 3l off 74 at Market Rasen in June when appreciating the stiff test back down in trip. Consistent on a sound surface at Market Rasen. Consistent gelding likely to go well again provided Cartmel isn't a culture shock.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/2 0%) Rory's Story	3.5 7/2(0%)	(8) Rory's Story 7/2, Travelled strongly and readily improved again to land a handicap by 6l off 75 here last time. Probably more to come. The breakthrough had been coming and he was much too good for Pittsburg over C&D.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -11%) La Quarite	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) La Quarite 5/1, Went clear with ease, scoring by 36l off 80 over 2m5f at Newton Abbot on quicker ground two starts ago. Every chance, ran to form when third beaten 8l off 80 last time; well treated on chase form. Shot up 14lb for winning a weak race and was a well-held fifth here on Saturday.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 +8%) Pittsburg	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Pittsburg 11/1, Travelled and improved back over fences to score by 1/2l off 91 here in June. Travelled but did not find much on softer ground, seventh beaten 16l off 83 last time; better over fences. C&D winner but he was very disappointing over hurdles here on Saturday.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/2 +66%) Restandbethankful	5.5 11/2(+66%)	(1) Restandbethankful 11/2, Race may have come too soon when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Generally out of form, though has a chance. Fourth over hurdles on Saturday; could be vulnerable off this 10lb higher chase mark.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (20/1 -150%) Fox Wallace	20 20/1(-150%)	(7) Fox Wallace 20/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Stratford, possibly not staying the trip. Wants a drop to 2m. Looks on a tough mark, 9lb higher than when successful at Stratford in May.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (22/1 -10%) Jackhammer	22 22/1(-10%)	(9) Jackhammer 22/1, Fell in a handicap chase over 2m at Sedgefield last time. Usually held up and returning from a break; capable off this basement mark. Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles; 0-12 over fences; fell last time.

17:18 Cartmel (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Several have chances, including Prospect House, whose recent form at Market Rasen is encouraging and he should go well if adapting to racing left-handed again. Dexter has shown improvement since joining his current yard, while Fox Wallace merits a betting check after undergoing a wind operation. However, preference is for RORY'S STORY, who travelled like a dream to land a similar race over C&D last month and could be hard to hold out with a repeat dose.

He's only ever won in France but DEXTER nearly put that right on his penultimate start and 2m4f appeared too far last time.

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.
