Baghdad Central

5
5/1(+69%)
(5) Baghdad Central 5/1, Winning Irish pointer but little encouragement so far over hurdles, well held after 4 months off at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Mark drops again but needs to show much more.

Balranald

(7) Balranald 12/1, Successful over fences at Sedgefield in winter 2021 but has largely struggled since, finishing well held back over hurdles after a breathing operation at Wetherby (16f, soft, 16/1) last month. Tongue tie back on but tough to fancy.

(1) Houi Cherie 1.75/1, Showed fair form in bumpers last term and opened her account at the third attempt over timber in emphatic fashion at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 17 days ago, jumping well on the front end. Looks sure to have a say in proceedings now heading into handicaps.

Elusive Red

80/1(+20%)
(9) Elusive Red 80/1, No show in a couple of starts after a lengthy absence this season. Has had a breathing operation but easily opposed from well out of the weights.
LTO Selection:

13:55 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

The fact that HOUI CHERIE was able to score by 15 lengths over 2m4f at Ffos Las on her latest outing has to make her of interest here, even though she must shoulder top weight for her handicap debut. Dr Shirocco is feared most on the basis that he has performed well for second over fences the last twice and gets in here under a light weight. Danny The Fence rates best of a modest remainder.

HOUI CHERIE bolted up in a Ffos Las maiden last month and may well be capable of better now handicapping. Dr Shirocco and Danny The Fence can battle out minor honours.

It could be worth taking a chance on BAGHDAD CENTRAL despite two disappointing runs this time. Houi Cherie should also go well.

The Electrician

11
11/1(+45%)
(6) The Electrician 11/1, Modest maiden over hurdles but got his head in front at the second attempt in this sphere at Hexham (2½m, soft) last May. Hasn't been firing since returning from a break, however.

Everyday Champagne

4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(2) Everyday Champagne 4.5/1, Surpassed hurdle form when making a winning chase debut at Doncaster on reappearance in November. Good second there last time but seemed unsuited by drop back to this trip at Musselburgh on penultimate start.
5
3rd (5) Sputnik (16/1 -14%)
Sputnik

16
16/1(-14%)
(5) Sputnik 16/1, Off the mark over fences at Hexham last spring and had bit in hand when making a winning reappearance at Ayr in October. Just respectable efforts at best since, however, and others make more appeal.

4th (3) Storm Tiger (5/1 +23%)
Storm Tiger

5
5/1(+23%)
(3) Storm Tiger 5/1, Point winner has taken well to fences, good third of 9 in handicap at this course (20f, soft) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Needs considering.

Azof Des Mottes

(7) Azof Des Mottes 7/1, Modest hurdler who showed aptitude for chasing when fourth at Kelso 35 days ago. Likely to improve on that, so no forlorn hope.

LTO Selection:

14:30 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Only denied by half a length when sent off favourite over an extended 1m7f at Hexham last week, a stiffer stamina test looks set to suit MOONACURA on this occasion and it could well pay to side with the Stuart Coltherd-trained six-year-old off 3lb higher. Lisloran has to be of interest following an emphatic win at Newcastle, while Everyday Champagne is another to bear in mind.

STORM TIGER has taken well to fences, faring by far the best of those ridden from off the pace when third here 2 weeks ago, so could be the answer. Recent Newcastle winner Lisloran is another to consider, while Get Going was a close third off this mark at Hexham.

The vote goes to LISLORAN, who made it 3-6 over fences with his front-running win at Newcastle. Storm Tiger is feared most.

(4) Largy Shark 3/1, Failed to progress in a trio of bumpers but looked a useful prospect when making a winning hurdles debut in a novice at Ayr (19.5f) in November, leading before last and quickening clear. Has more to come after his break. Player.
1
2nd (1) Fly By Milan (2.75/1 +31%)
Fly By Milan

2.75
2.75/1(+31%)
(1) Fly By Milan 2.75/1, Well-bred sort who showed fair form when placed all 4 starts in bumpers in 2020-21 and was all the better for his comeback/hurdling debut when off the mark in 8-runner maiden at Hexham (20.1f) 23 days ago. Open to further improvement.

5
5th (5) Busty Boy (9/1 +10%)
Busty Boy

9
9/1(+10%)
(5) Busty Boy 9/1, Successful on 3 of his 4 starts in Irish points and achieved more than previously under Rules when second in 5-runner C&D novice 13 days ago. That was a weak affair, however.
10

Navigate West

50

LTO Selection:

15:05 Carlisle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

A case can be made for several of these, including Grain D'oudairies, who bolted up over an extended 2m at Bangor when last seen in November. It is likely there is more in his locker, but LARGY SHARK showed his appreciation for the rise to this sort of trip when getting off the mark at Ayr and he is marginally preferred. His stablemate Langdale Lane adds further spice to the mix, as does Fly By Milan.

An interesting race of its type. GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES looked potentially useful when making a winning hurdling debut in a good time at Bangor back in November and is open to plenty of improvement, so he's selected to defy a penalty. Fly By Milan scored with a bit up his sleeve at Hexham and warrants respect, as does Largy Shark, who quickened clear in fine style at Ayr.

An interesting novice hurdle. GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES created a good impression at Bangor in November and make it 2-2 in this sphere.

9
9/1(+36%)

Grand Voyage

(6) Grand Voyage 4/1, Progressive, dual winner over hurdles who improved to make second chase start a winning one at Ayr (20.5f) in November. Held form well in defeat since and should make presence felt again.

(4) Galop De Chasse 4/1, Bagged a couple of small field handicap chases in 2021/22 and opened account for this campaign at Hereford (16f) in January. Solid second at Wincanton (15.7f, good to soft) latest and remains fairly treated.
1
4th (1) Cornerstone Lad (7/1 -17%)
Cornerstone Lad

7
7/1(-17%)
(1) Cornerstone Lad 7/1, Smart hurdler who opened his chase account at Wetherby 15 months ago (from 8 lb higher). Performed creditably on 3 of his 4 starts this winter and must enter calculations here.
9
5th (9) You Say Nothing (7/1 -27%)
You Say Nothing

7
7/1(-27%)
(9) You Say Nothing 7/1, Posted best effort over fences when narrowly taking 6-runner handicap at Market Rasen (17.2f, soft) 18 days ago. 5 lb higher now but is another to consider.
5
6th (5) Champ De Gane (5.5/1 -120%)

5.5
5.5/1(-120%)
(5) Champ De Gane 5.5/1, Would have run out an easy winner at Ayr (16.5f, good) last month but for coming down at the final fence. 7 lb higher now but remains low mileage in this sphere.
7
7th (7) The King Of May (4.5/1 +47%)
The King Of May

4.5
4.5/1(+47%)
(7) The King Of May 4.5/1, Fairly useful chaser who returned to form, refitted with cheekpieces, when second of 5 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f, soft) 10 days ago. This is more competitive but he can't be ruled out.
3
|PU| (3) Saint Arvans (18/1 -100%)
Saint Arvans

18
18/1(-100%)
(3) Saint Arvans 18/1, Likeable type who has taken well to chasing this season, winning 3 times. Looked likely victor again when falling late on at Wetherby (19.4f, good to firm) when last seen in October but has career-high mark to defy on return now.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Galop De Chasse found only an unexposed chaser too strong when filling the runner-up spot at Wincanton but though he's worthy of consideration eased 1lb in the handicap, CORNERSTONE LAD edges the vote. Micky Hammond's stable stalwart was far from disgraced in a 0-135 contest at Haydock last time out and from 8lb below his last winning mark and in slightly calmer waters, he can defy top weight. The King Of May is another to consider.

CHAMP DE GANE was in full control when departing at the last at Ayr last month and it's possible we haven't seen the best of him yet. He is taken to score. Galop de Chasse heads the list of dangers.

Top of the list is CHAMP DE GANE, who is unexposed in this sphere and was 10l clear when falling at the last at Ayr last month.

4.5

(7) Shoeshine Boy 4.5/1, Ended last season by gaining a deserved breakthrough success over a similar trip at Ayr. Mixed bag so far this season, though, and needs to bounce back following a low-key display in the Musselburgh handicap won by Curley Finger.
5

Aazza

6.5
6.5/1(-18%)
(5) Aazza 6.5/1, Bolted up in a 3m conditional jockeys' event at Doncaster in January and while she was held off this 13 lb higher mark when fourth at Newcastle next time, it was probably the fast ground rather than the hike in the weights that ultimately made the difference. Possibilities back on slow ground here.

(8) Fortcanyon 3.5/1, Off the mark at Newcastle in January and didn't do a great deal wrong when fourth at Kelso next time. However, he produced a laboured effort behind Curley Finger at Musselburgh recently and is opposable on the back of that.
4

3
5th (3) Curley Finger (4.5/1 -13%)
Curley Finger

4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(3) Curley Finger 4.5/1, Hexham novice winner last spring and stepped up on previous efforts in handicap company when scoring over 23.8f at Musselburgh (good to soft), the switch to front-running tactics and first-time cheekpieces seemingly the combined catalyst for improvement. More needed here following a 5 lb rise.
6

(6) Haribo Collonges 11/1, No real impact in maiden hurdles (including in Ireland) but back on track making his handicap debut when third at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) on Boxing Day. Shapes as though this further step up in trip and one to consider on debut for new yard with a tongue strap enlisted.
1
7th (1) Captain Zebo (5.5/1 +27%)
Captain Zebo

5.5
5.5/1(+27%)
(1) Captain Zebo 5.5/1, Four of his 5 hurdles wins have been gained here, the latest a competitive C&D handicap off a significantly higher mark than this back in December 2020. Hasn't really threatened since but dangerous to discount now pitched into 0-120 company and moving back up in trip.
2
|PU| (2) Yellowstone Park (7.5/1 -7%)
Yellowstone Park

7.5
7.5/1(-7%)
(2) Yellowstone Park 7.5/1, Improved to get off the mark on handicap debut at Leicester (20.5f, soft) in December. Poor next time but back on track when second upped to 23f at Market Rasen last month and merits respect with Brian Hughes booked.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

CURLEY FINGER bounced back to form when winning over 3m at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago and Rebecca Menzies' six-year-old, who remains unexposed, could have more to offer from a 5lb raised mark. Court Dreaming was last seen winning over the larger obstacles here and remains fairly treated judged on his peak hurdles form. He must go on the shortlist along with Yellowstone Park, who has Brian Hughes on top for the first time.

HARIBO COLLONGES took a step forward when third upped to 20.6f on his latest start at Market Rasen and, with the potential to do better still now faced with an even stiffer test, he is taken to make a winning start for the Patrick Neville yard. Cases can also be made for the majority of his rivals, not least the 11-y-o Captain Zebo, who has been given a real chance by the handicapper, while Aazza and Yellowstone Park are others with decent claims.

The vote goes to CURLEY FINGER (nap) who was a brave winner over 3m at Musselburgh and is still unexposed in staying handicaps.

7

(7) Wild Polly 14/1, Fairly promising novice hurdler a few seasons back and there were positives to glean from her second run following a lengthy absence when fourth in a handicap at Ayr (24.3f, soft) in February. This former point winner is worth a second look now switched to fences.
11

(11) Contre Ordre 14/1, Fairly useful chaser in France but yet to fire on these shores and hopes now pinned on the first-time cheekpieces working the oracle.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The Nicky Richards stable is in fine form and this looks like an ideal opportunity for TFOU to continue the good run as he returns to a more suitable trip, having been outstayed over further at Kelso last time out. A determined winner over C&D on his penultimate start, Knocknamona can uphold form with Paddy The Horse (fourth), while Operation Overlord must enter the equation as well.

OPERATION OVERLORD and Tfou, both of whom have low mileage, could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is likely to appreciate dropping back in trip here after finishing second over 23.4f at Kelso and he is greatly respected. However. the vote goes to Lucinda Russell's charge, who left the impression that he could be about to come good in this sphere when fourth at Ayr in February and is lurking on a potentially handy mark. Chasing debutante Wild Polly is best of the rest.

In a tricky race MAID O'MALLEY is chosen to gain her first win of the season on her second run since wind surgery.

8.5/1(+47%)
(5) Allbetsoff 8.5/1, Still a maiden but posted a respectable fourth over C&D back in October. Ran poorly at Market Rasen 3 weeks later though, so will need to hit the ground running returning from 5 months off.

33/1(-32%)
(11) Derracrin 33/1, Still a maiden and again failed to get competitive when seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (17.2f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Others appeal more on reappearance.

5th (4) Five Dollar Fine (7/1 +50%)
Five Dollar Fine

7/1(+50%)
(4) Five Dollar Fine 7/1, Winning pointer who improved in each of his first 3 outings in regular novices. However, he failed to meet expectations upped in trip for his handicap debut when well held at Kelso (22.7f, good to soft) in February and now drops back down in trip.
7
6th (7) Duty Calls (10/1 -82%)
Duty Calls

10
10/1(-82%)
(7) Duty Calls 10/1, Won over hurdles here last season and took advantage of being held up in a strongly-run race despite being 3 lb out of the weights as he scored for the first time over fences at Kelso (17.1f, soft) a fortnight ago. Back hurdling now and high on the shortlist.
8
7th (8) Artic Row (4/1 -45%)
Artic Row

4
4/1(-45%)
(8) Artic Row 4/1, Justified strong support when winning 8-runner event on handicap debut at Ayr (16f, good to firm) last month but didn't get the chance to prove himself still ahead of the handicapper after a 4 lb rise having departed 4 out at Newcastle 10 days ago. Remains of firm interest.
12
8th (12) Strike Of Lighting (10/1 +55%)
Strike Of Lighting

10/1(+55%)
(12) Strike Of Lighting 10/1, Poor maiden handicapper who got back on track to a certain extent fitted with tongue tie when fourth at this course (19.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Wouldn't be a banker to reproduce that effort here, though.

9th (9) Ingleby Mackenzie (16/1 +20%)

16/1(+20%)
(9) Ingleby Mackenzie 16/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but well held this year, including for new yard. Headgear/tongue tie back on but has plenty to prove.
6
10th (6) Don't Talk (6.5/1 -63%)
Don't Talk

6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(6) Don't Talk 6.5/1, Was progressive over hurdles and took a further step forward on chasing debut when fourth at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft) back in January. Quickly reverts to the smaller obstacles and could well have a say in proceedings.
2
11th (2) Limited Reserve (8/1 +0%)
Limited Reserve

8
8/1(+0%)
(2) Limited Reserve 8/1, One-time useful hurdler who having tumbled in the weights, made far more impact than in ages when third at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Needs to back that up here but fancied to do so with jockey taking off a valuable 8 lb.
LTO Selection:

17:25 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D in February 2022, DUTY CALLS didn't manage to get his head in front again until bouncing back to form when scoring over fences at Kelso a fortnight ago, and he could be well placed to strike again on his return to the smaller obstacles. Irish raider Don't Talk can have a big say, while Artic Row was getting into contention when falling four out at Newcastle and is another to warrant consideration.

Cases can be made for a few but ARTIC ROW was unable to prove himself as still ahead of the handicapper following a 4 lb rise when stumbling and falling soon after 4 out at Newcastle 10 days ago. Providing he's none the worse from that spill, Nick Alexander's charge is fancied to double his tally. Limited Reserve may well emerge as the main threat, with Duty Calls and Burrows Hall also considered.

Burrows Hall can resume his progression back over shorter but narrow preference is for fellow lightly raced type ARTIC ROW.

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.
