14:20 Carlisle Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Chumbaa continues to run well in defeat and is likely to be in the thick of things once more, while Project Geofin looks set to take a step forward having hit the woodwork on his racecourse bow. Marginal preference, however, is for BACK BEFORE DARK. Grant Tuer's filly finished a creditable fourth over 5f at Catterick last month, but she's bred to appreciate further and this stiff finish can play to her strengths. A son of Champions Sprint winner Donjuan Triumphant, Coin Power warrants a market check ahead of his debut.

PROJECT GEOFIN really caught the after an awkward start on debut at Beverley a month ago, finishing with running left. He could easily take a step forward nudged up in trip. Roswood and The Good Biscuit are the interesting newcomers, and Chumbaa isn't out of it on form.

Geoff Oldroyd's PROJECT GEOFIN finished well from a poor position to take second on his debut, and that form has worked out well.

14:50 Carlisle Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LADY DREAMER (second) finished ahead of Bugle Beads (fifth) at Windsor a fortnight ago and the daughter of Dandy Man, who sets a useful standard, can uphold that form en route to a first career success. Sky High Girl should appreciate this initial stamina test judged on pedigree and must be considered on her racecourse debut, while Angel From Above heads the remainder.

BUGLE BEADS caught the eye in a major way starting out at Windsor a fortnight ago, denied a clear run and not given a hard time. Expected to take a marked step up, she can improve beyond the standard-setting filly Lady Dreamer.

Lady Dreamer was ahead of BUGLE BEADS at Windsor but the Haggas filly can improve past her here.

15:20 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It might have been a while since SHARRABANG last tasted success, but Stella Barclay's gelding has been knocking on the door in recent starts and would hold every chance if running to the level that saw him hit the frame at Beverley last month. He edges the vote over Basholo, while Made Of Lir shouldn't be written off from a handy mark.

Irish-raider TAMMANY HALL ran his best race of the present campaign when fifth in a big-field Curragh handicap 12 days ago, and from a career-low mark, he could well be up to doubling his career tally. Stormy Pearl ran creditably without being seen to best effect at Ripon recently and is a threat, with Variety Island and Sharrabang completing the shortlist.

After arresting her decline with an encouraging fourth at Wetherby a fortnight ago, MADE OF LIR might come good for Sam England here.

15:50 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

ALPINA EXPRESS looked ahead of her mark when winning with authority on her handicap debut at Ayr on Tuesday and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent back-to-back victories. Time Traveller offered more encouragement when collared late on at Hamilton last month and rates as the chief threat racing off the same mark here, while Optician could improve for this extra distance and completes the shortlist.

ALPINA EXPRESS took a big step forward when winning on her turf/handicap debut at Ayr 6 days ago and, with further improvement to come, she can score again under a penalty. Optician could have more to offer upped further in trip and is feared most, ahead of Time Traveller

It was fairly comfortable for ALPINA EXPRESS at Ayr last week and she can defy the penalty.

16:20 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

PERIPETEIA was beaten just under three lengths at Haydock last time and a further 2lb fall in the ratings, combined with a drop in class, may see the five-year-old regain the winning thread. Gibside is now only 2lb higher than his August triumph at Ripon and can figure if coming on for his reappearance at Doncaster in May. Graces Quest won over C&D at the start of the month and may fare better than latest efforts now returned to this venue.

WE STILL BELIEVE was only narrowly denied over C&D on his latest Flat start and might prove the answer to this Class 6 handicap. Phil Kirby's Peripeteia is back on a winning mark and is second choice ahead of dual C&D scorer Graces Quest.

The pick is GLITTERING CHOICE, who won off 2lb higher here last summer and has gone well when fresh before.

16:53 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Although Purple Martini arrives with recent winning form after scoring at Musselburgh, she is stepping up in class off a mark 4lb higher and may prove vulnerable. IN THE GIVING met trouble in running before coming home third at Windsor last time and the 7f trip here could prove ideal. She gets the vote ahead of Mai Alward, who signed off last season with a comfortable success and now makes her stable debut for Tristan Davidson.

PURPLE MARTINI has had an excellent start to the season and had something to spare when scoring at Musselburgh, so she makes most appeal in a weak race. Platinum Girl is the danger but In The Giving is worthy of respect for a top yard that has few runners at this track.

There is still more to come from PURPLE MARTINI (nap), who beat a pair of subsequent triple winners at Musselburgh last month.

17:27 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It may prove best to side with ROYAL PROSPECT, who likes it here with two C&D wins to his name, the latest off 1lb higher than his current mark. He wasn't at his best last month at Redcar, but that was his first start since October last year and he may find some improvement. Floral Splendour was beaten a length at Beverley earlier this month and looks a huge rival in this field, despite an added 1lb from the handicapper. Shahnaz also has a chance if she can get back to her best 2022 form.

The vote goes to ROYAL PROSPECT, who is 3-7 at this track and should be spot-on following an encouraging reappearance spin at Redcar at the end of last month. Like the selection, Shahnaz was successful over this C&D off a higher mark in 2022 and shaped as though coming back to the boil at Hamilton recently. She is feared most ahead of Floral Splendour, who returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Beverley, and Albegrey.

C&D winner SHAHNAZ, who posted a sound effort at Hamilton recently and looks ready to capitalise upon some help from the handicapper.

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.
