13:55 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

A maximum field head to post for the opener where last month's C&D winner CALEVADE is tipped to make it a perfect 2-2 this season. Judging by his starting price of 12/1,Ben Haslam's grey gelding appeared to surprise a few on that occasion but the manner of his success proved there was no fluke about it and a 5lb rise may not be enough to halt him. Prime Time Lady has won and finished second on both starts at this track and could be the biggest threat, along with Zamond, who last seen finished runner-up at Musselburgh in March.

RHODIA hasn't pulled up any trees in a handful of novice events in this sphere but is appealing now making the switch to handicap company off what, judged on his bumper form, is a potentially handy opening mark. With James King booked, Zamond is a big danger given the strength of his latest effort at Musselburgh and the fact that he was a C&D winner on his sole previous start here. Fellow C&D winners Prime Time Lady and Calevade are also feared, in that order of preference.

Several to consider but C&D winner ZAMOND has plenty going for him.

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

DEE STAR got the job done in impressive style at last month's meeting over half a mile further than this and although he's been raised 8lb as a result of that victory, he may well prove up to the task. Jimmy Moffat and Charlotte Jones have teamed up to win the last two renewals of this race and they must be respected with Zumbi this time around. Jony Max appeared beaten when brought down over hurdles at Fontwell last month but remains on attractive mark over fences.

ZUMBI made an encouraging start over fences here last month and looks sure to improve over this longer trip, so gets the vote over the admirable Dee Star, who is becoming a cult-hero at Cartmel after recording another victory (now 4 wins and 6 seconds here) last month but now finds himself on a career-high mark. Jony Max and Diegos Way are also in the mix.

Preference is for JONY MAX, who ran a big race in defeat in last month's Norfolk National on the tight left-handed track at Fakenham.

15:05 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Ben Haslam is double-handed with Roxboro Road and Cash Again and both have chances, so they are worth a second look if there is any confidence behind them in the betting market. However, they may both have their work cut out attempting to stop JOEY STEEL recording his third career win. Christian Williams' 10-year-old was last seen finishing third at Warwick last month and that form has been given numerous boosts since, with the runner-up, Junior Massini, going on win three races on the spin.

Not a convincing bunch and it may pay to side with Irish-raider CARNET DE STAGE down in class on the back of a pretty encouraging run 3 weeks ago. Bells Express is the unknown quantity on chase debut, with Joey Steel dangerous if on a 'going' day.

Back at a more suitable trip, ONENIGHTINTOWN can gain a third chase win.

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

The top-weight LIGHTS ARE GREEN is going the right way given he is 2-4 over fences, and this looks another good opening for him. Add to that he brings winning C&D form to the table, which is key around here, and he ticks plenty of boxes. Whataboutyeh and Humps And Bumps are also expected to go well, with the former feared most given he's shaped with promise on both chase starts so far.

PRINCE CLENI hasn't looked back since sent over fences and is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights and follow up his Southwell success. C&D winner Lights Are Green also arrives on the up and rates a big threat, while Market Rasen runner-up Whataboutyeh merits consideration too with few miles still on the clock.

Whataboutyeh can progress over fences but C&D winner LIGHTS ARE GREEN is preferred.

16:15 Cartmel Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

A few of these are respected from their time in point-to-to-points, with Time For Joy, a winner of a Toombridge mares maiden, and Big In Milan, who was placed twice between the flags in Ireland, arguably looking the pick of the bunch. However, this looks a good opportunity for BALLYQUIN BAY to make a winning start for his new connections. He sets a reasonable standard under Rules based on eight starts for Gordon Elliott and appeals strongly under in-form rider Jamie Hamilton.

This isn't much of a race and TIME FOR JOY has already won between the flags, so he's preferred to Ballyquin Bay, who has the best Rules form to date. Slate Lane has joined a canny operation and returns from a break, so he's worth monitoring in the betting.

Despite his heavy Irish defeats, SLATE LANE still makes most appeal.

16:47 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

FABREZE proved to be underestimated when she emerged as the surprise winner of a similar contest at Uttoxeter eight days ago and the lightly-raced mare has to be of serious interest in her bid to follow up under a 7lb penalty. Her stamina is proven from her days in point-to-points and that may give her a crucial edge over Fontwell scorer Baby Sham, who is respected but faces a tougher task now dropped in trip off 6lb higher. Sinndarella rates as the pick of the rest.

FABREZE sprang a bit of a surprise at Uttoxeter last time but she appeals as full value for that victory and can follow up under a penalty here. Fellow last-time-out winner Baby Sham is also highly respected dropped in trip, with Sinndarella and Mrs Kinsella others who could have a say.

After a good win at Uttoxeter last week, FABREZE (nap) makes most appeal.
