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

Giselles Izzy was rewarded for her game efforts in defeat when gaining a first success on turf at Hamilton recently, but a 6lb rise in the ratings will make life tougher for the Iain Jardine-trained filly. With that in mind, it may pay to take a chance on BURJ MALINKA. The five-year-old is effectively 3lb lower than his last success if taking Mia Nicholls' 5lb claim into account and he arrives in good heart. Similar sentiments could be applied to Beauty Choice, with the son of Bated Breath a viable alternative.

It's probably best to overlook LANGHOLM's latest effort at Catterick where he was too keen for his own good. The 7-y-o performed with credit on his first 3 starts of this season and he could be worth siding with back at 6f. Burj Malinka arrives here on the back of solid enough efforts at Hamilton the last twice and he is next on the list ahead of Brian The Snail and the in-form Giselles Izzy.

The most striking contender is GISELLES IZZY, who hit a personal best with her comfortable win in a big field at Hamilton last week.

Several to consider in a tightly-knit contest, with BITS AND BOBS edging the vote. Andrew Balding's colt could be classed as an unlucky loser at Chester last month, when given too much to do, and he looks more than capable of picking up a race of this nature. There was plenty to like about Jungle Mate's debut success at Hamilton in May and he's feared most, ahead of Ganesha, who wasn't disgraced when finishing seventh in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last time.

Several of these are open to improvement, not least GANESHA, whose debut form is working out well and he wasn't disgraced at Royal Ascot last time. Bits And Bobs was attempting to concede weight all round when a strong-finishing second at Chester and he looks set for another bold show. Andrew Balding's charge is second choice, albeit only marginally as Jungle Mate, a winner on debut at Hamilton, and the Karl Burke-trained duo Action Plan and That's For Sure are also appealing.

A few hold chances but there was a lot to like about the debut Hamilton win of Kevin Ryan's JUNGLE MATE and he looks the way to go.

18:52 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ASTAPOR found only a resurgent rival too strong at Chester last Friday and a return to class 6 company may be enough for the five-year-old to regain the winning thread. Sixcor did well to finish second from an uncompromising position at Musselburgh recently and also warrants consideration at this level, while Zoom Star posted another creditable effort in defeat last time at Catterick and completes the shortlist.

ZOOM STAR arrives at the top of her game and is fancied to go one better than her good second at Catterick 54 days ago. Sixcor is well treated and filled the same spot at Musselburgh 15 days ago, so he's considered a threat along with Astapor.

Zoom Star and Sixcor are respected but BOROUGH, who ran well on the AW last week, is open to improvement back on turf.

Sir Michael Stout's LET LIFE HAPPEN looked promising on her Kempton debut and, given the way she stayed on when she got room in the closing stages, it would be no surprise to see her get off the mark at the second time of asking. Lady Bracken ran green on her introduction but is likely to be wiser today, while Wilding is an interesting newcomer and may be the pick of Karl Burke's two runners.

This looks a good opportunity for Sir Michael Stoute's LET LIFE HAPPEN to build on a very promising debut run at Kempton last month. Fifth Harmonic offered something to work on when fourth on her Haydock debut and is second choice ahead of Riccirella, who switches to the Flat after placing twice in bumpers last month.

Fifth Harmonic and LET LIFE HAPPEN both shaped well on debut and the latter can get off the mark at the second attempt.

STRONGBOWE ran a blinder when second in the consolation race for the Carlisle Bell 10 days ago and offers strong appeal off just 3lb higher after that very narrow defeat. It's also notable that Tim Easterby's gelding fended off Detective when winning this race last year and repeat of that result is a distinct possibility based on recent form. The unexposed Cori Glory and Overrule are others to consider.

AL MOTASIM got back on track when fourth at Newbury last time and his effort could be marked up given he made his challenge further towards the far side than ideal, so a chance is taken on him to get the better of Strongbowe, who was a good second over C&D 10 days ago. Cori Glory got off the mark in decisive fashion at Beverley last time, so she's also considered.

The likeable 7yo STRONGBOWE (nap) can build on his fine recent second here to follow up his success in this contest 12 months ago.

20:22 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Recent form suggests following KALAHARI PRINCE could be the route to follow in a contest where all have struggled to find success so far this season. The selection has, however, posted several consistent efforts and, having gone agonisingly close at Musselburgh on Wednesday, the quick turn around suggests the gelding is set for another bold effort. Dark Company has shown more sparkle lately and is feared, along with previous course winner Star Of St James, who is attractively weighted just now.

If KALAHARI PRINCE can reproduce the form he showed when second at Musselburgh earlier in the week he may be able to get his head back in front. Star of St James is down to the mark he defied here last summer and took a step back in the right direction last time so he's second choice. Dark Company arrives in form and also makes the shortlist.

Several have possibilities but KALAHARI PRINCE gets the vote ahead of Dark Company and Chinese Spirit.

Josiebond is high on the shortlist off just 3lb higher than last month's Beverley success, while Mr Heinz was a close third in that race and has a feasible chance of turning the form around on the revised terms. However, preference is for the reliable ZUMAATY, who is still relatively unexposed on turf and, considering he has made the frame or won (once) in five of his eight previous starts on grass, he has strong claims on these terms.

JOSIEBOND was better than ever when scoring at Beverley last time and she's found a good opportunity to follow up in what appears to be a weak race on paper. Motarajel was fourth in the same race and is expected to give his running again, while Masham Moor can't be dismissed back from a break.

Back down in class, SHAHNAZ could well take advantage of a handy mark. Antagonize is second choice.

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.
