14/1(+0%)
(2) Tonto's Spirit 14/1, Registered a fifth success over this C&D last August. Largely below par since and pulled up in handicap chase here on heavy ground 37 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Eight course wins but doesn't seem to be the force of old.

Pittsburg

4.5
4.5/1(-35%)
(7) Pittsburg 4.5/1, Firmly on the up since sent over fences and the stylish winner of 2m/2m1f handicaps at Perth and Market Rasen this month. This strong traveller has more to offer and can complete a quick hat-trick.
On a hat-trick after two wins this month but will face different ground this time.

Minella Youngy

8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(3) Minella Youngy 8.5/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and has shown similar form without getting his head in front for his current yard. Goes back chasing now and not ruled out.
Placed over hurdles this summer but well beaten only previous chasing attempt.

We'll Go Again

3
3/1(+40%)
(4) We'll Go Again 3/1, Yet to score over fences but not discredited wehn third of 9 in handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and in the mix once more.
Has run well enough in all four chases to be considered; cheekpieces now fitted.

5th (6) Jackhammer (7/1 -17%)
Jackhammer

7
7/1(-17%)
(6) Jackhammer 7/1, Winner on the Flat in June and he has posted two solid efforts back in this sphere since, fourth of eight at Perth (2m) 26 days ago. Can't be discounted.
Has ground to make up with Pittsburg on latest form but has a pull in the weights.
9
6th (9) King Of Quinta (6/1 +8%)
King Of Quinta

6
6/1(+8%)
(9) King Of Quinta 6/1, Arrives in good nick, third of 12 to Arbennig in handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good) 27 days ago. No forlorn hope in his bid for a maiden success.
Third to Arbennig at Worcester and could reverse those placings if jumping better.

Fearless Action

14
14/1(+0%)
(8) Fearless Action 14/1, Solid efforts when in the frame at Sedgefield on his first 3 chase starts but he came in last of 12 at Newcastle in May. Needs to bounce back after a break.
Maiden; chance on best chasing efforts but absent since modest display three months ago.

33/1(-340%)
(1) Rocco Storm 33/1, Bagged a third win at Ayr in January. Got back on track after another wind op when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Carlisle (15.9f, soft) 155 days ago. Enters calculations after a break.
Three wins last season; off since March; usual cheekpieces missing.

Glan Y Gors

16
16/1(+52%)
(10) Glan Y Gors 16/1, C&D winner but he looks to have gone off the boil, well-beaten eighth to Arbennig in handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good) 27 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
C&D winner but rare scorer now and latest two starts have been disappointing.
11

Bandit D'ainay

40
40/1(-60%)
(11) Bandit D'ainay 40/1, Well-held fifth of 9 in handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 37 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time now and it's 29 runs since his last win in 2019..

Arbennig

6
6/1(-50%)
(5) Arbennig 6/1, Consistent performer who made it two wins from his last 3 starts with a career best in 12-runner handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good) 27 days ago. Up 6 lb but can go well again.
Two wins this summer; 6lb higher than for latest; best when dominating.
LTO Selection:

13:20 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

PITTSBURG arrives here on the back of two wins earlier in the month and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those efforts may not be enough to stop him here. Arbennig is another recent winner that is likely to go very well in a race of this nature, while We'll Go Again and King Of Quinta are the pick of the remainder.

Lots with chances but PITTSBURG hasn't looked back since going chasing and is weighted to gain a hat-trick upped 4 lb for his fluent Market Rasen success nine days ago. Arbennig also arrives in excellent nick and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can be made for King of Quinta, We'll Go Again and Jackhammer too.

Preference is for ARBENNIG as he bids for a third win in his last four starts.

Landofsmiles

6
6/1(-50%)
(1) Landofsmiles 6/1, Made a winning return from an absence at Uttoxeter in May and bounced back quickly from a poor run at Southwell when resuming winning ways back at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago. Only up 3 lb but this looks a deeper race.
Good record as a chaser and only 3lb above latest winning mark; acts on soft.

Dee Star

12
12/1(-20%)
(6) Dee Star 12/1, Cartmel regular who proved better than ever when winning veterans' even here (29.5f) in May, his fourth course success. Creditable fifth over C&D in June. Pulled up at Market Rasen latest but likely to fare better back here.
Pulled up latest but at his best around here and likely to run well.

Bodhisattva

5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(3) Bodhisattva 5.5/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser for Goron Elliott. Better effort for new yard when fifth in a competitive race at Galway at the start of this month. Yard's British runners always respected.
Not at his best in two starts for current yard; acts on soft.

Well beaten over hurdles latest but good record over fences and acts on soft.

5th (9) Eagle Terrace (3/1 +45%)
Eagle Terrace

3
3/1(+45%)
(9) Eagle Terrace 3/1, Left behind his previous form in this sphere on the back of a stable switch when winning 4-runner C&D handicap (heavy) last month. Did that comfortably, but only fair fourth here on Saturday, and now a couple of lb out of the weights.
Comfortable C&D winner on stable debut but well held 4th in better race on Saturday.
8

Breaking The Ice

7.5
7.5/1(-25%)
(8) Breaking The Ice 7.5/1, Good strike-rate over fences, including a win over C&D. Sound reappearance after wind surgery when fourth over C&D at the end of June, shaping as just needing the run. Back on a good mark.
Fair fourth over C&D on return from a break; cheekpieces back on; acts on soft.
5

Jony Max

3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(5) Jony Max 3.5/1, Creditable placed efforts on his 3 completed starts this season, including a near miss over C&D in June. Likely to give another good account.
Consistent; narrow C&D defeat before good Newton Abbot effort; soft ground a concern.
7
|PU| (7) Powerful Position (16/1 -14%)
Powerful Position

16
16/1(-14%)
(7) Powerful Position 16/1, Progressive in 2021/22, winning 4 times. Below that level in a light career since but he was entitled to need the outing back from 9 months off (had wind surgery) at Newton Abbott 4 weeks ago. One to note in the betting.
Tailed off on return from a break but likes soft and good record under Jack Tudor.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 3) 26f Race Class Flow

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

LANDOFSMILES bounced back to form when accounting for a useful field over 3m2f at Uttoxeter a month ago and Peter Bowen's gelding merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark here. Jony Max has made the frame on his last couple of starts and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Bodhisattva and Tommie Beau.

The handicapper might have taken a bit of a chance dropping BREAKING THE ICE 3 lb for his quite encouraging reappearance here at the end of June and he's selected to notch a seventh chase success. The consistent Jony Max is second choice ahead of John McConnell-trained Irish raider Bodhisattva.

Plenty to consider but BREAKING THE ICE ran well enough over C&D two months ago to suggest he can gain another success.

Marshalled

4
4/1(+20%)
(1) Marshalled 4/1, Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland and has revived for new yard lately, winning a handicap chase at Newcastle before nose second of 8 to Ubetya in handicap chase over C&D. Latest effort was sub-par but he's been given a break since.
Claims on his narrow C&D defeat two starts ago; possible excuses here latest.

Sword Of Fate

6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(7) Sword Of Fate 6.5/1, Front runner who capitalised on a drop in grade when scoring at Perth earlier in the month, This is more competitive but dangerous if he's unhassled in front.
Perth winner this month and could prove hard to catch if able to lead.

Lermoos Legend

(4) Lermoos Legend 3.5/1, Resumed winning ways in 5-runner handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in July. Seemingly amiss last time but could bounce back and has tasted success at this track before.
2m7f winner two starts ago but pulled up latest; good course form but unpredictable now.

Kellyiscool

5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(5) Kellyiscool 5.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser at his best and, after some uninspiring efforts, he made a positive step when third to Jelski in C&D event last time, Not dismissed,
Maiden; should have won over C&D last month but found little.
8
5th (8) Sean Og (6.5/1 +28%)
Sean Og

6.5
6.5/1(+28%)
(8) Sean Og 6.5/1, Disappointed on chasing debut in May but improved when second over hurdles on final outing for Margaret Mullins. BHA mark doesn't look all that lenient, though, so up against it on stable debut.
Just beaten over hurdles latest; well held only chase; stable debut.
3
6th (3) Jelski (2.75/1 -10%)
Jelski

2.75
2.75/1(-10%)
(3) Jelski 2.75/1, 5/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 37 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Looks well capable of landing the hat-trick if the race is run to suit.
Two course wins this summer and obvious credentials in the hat-trick bid.
LTO Selection:

14:20 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Jelski has to be respected in his bid for a hat-trick but a 3lb rise for his most recent win will make life tougher for the nine-year-old. With that in mind, preference is for MARSHALLED, who failed to fire last time but is a big player based on his narrow defeat over C&D two starts ago. Others to note are Sword Of Fate and Lermoos Legend.

JELSKI bids for a course hat-trick and, if the pace is strong enough, he's up to completing it. If Sword of Fate is allowed his own way in front he'll be hard to pass and Kellyiscool, who was third to the selection here last time, can't be ruled out.

Topweight MARSHALLED is best forgiven his latest effort here and has decent claims on his previous C&D second.

1st (1) Gifted Angel (1.88/1 +0%)
Gifted Angel

1.88
1.88/1(+0%)
(1) Gifted Angel 1.88/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who got off the mark at only the second attempt in this sphere in 2m Stratford juvenile earlier in the month. Inexperience still evident switched to a handicap at Bangor last week, too free and also making mistakes. Cheekpieces removed.
Well held in a handicap latest but earlier juvenile win points to his chance.

(8) Majestic Jameela 3.33/1, Modest performer on Flat but well supported when good second of 8 in Aintree juvenile (16.5f) on hurdles debut in June. Sets the standard on that run though was disappointing at Uttoxeter latest.
Placed in both hurdle starts; should be on the premises again.
2
3rd (2) Balboa (2/1 +43%)

2
2/1(+43%)
(2) Balboa 2/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. First run since leaving Jamie Osborne when sixth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (14f, heavy) 26 days ago. Hood fitted and stamina no concern in this discipline.
Showed enough on the Flat to make him of interest on hurdle debut; hood fitted.

Good pedigree but no Flat runs; racecourse debut.
7

Unplaced on the Flat and tailed off on hurdle debut last month.
5

Imenso

150

(5) Imenso 150/1, Modest form at best on Flat, unproven beyond sprint trips, well held upped in trip in handicaps both starts in 2023. Stamina an obvious concern in this sphere.
Finished last in both Flat attempts this year; hurdle debut.
LTO Selection:

14:55 Cartmel Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Gifted Angel merits respect under a penalty for his recent Stratford success, but MAJESTIC JAMEELA, who receives 14lb from the former, is preferred. Stuart Edmunds' filly has run with credit on both of her starts over timber and any further improvement could see the daughter of Postponed get off the mark. Hooded ahead of his hurdling debut, market support would have to bring Balboa into the reckoning.

BALBOA achieved fair form on the level, and with stamina no issue switched to hurdles, he's selected to get the better of a couple with experience over timber in Majestic Jameela and Gifted Angel

The return to juvenile company can see GIFTED ANGEL gain a second win.

(9) Coup De Gold 16/1, Poor strike rate (1-29 in this sphere) and while he put in a good shift when fourth of 10 at Hexham (16.2f, good) last time, chances are he will again find one or two too good.
Has been running creditably but just 1-56 in career.

(10) Secret Secret 3.33/1, Easy winner on the Flat in Ireland last autumn but turned over at short prices on each of his 3 starts in this sphere for Neil Mulholland. Opposable on debut for another new yard.
Not a great deal to recommend apart from fact he's making stable debut.

(7) My Gift To You 1.5/1, Form has taken off since leaving Paul Webber, readily landing a handicap hurdle at Southwell before following up in equally impressive fashion over fences at Worcester (both wins at around 2½m on good ground). Major player with further improvement on the cards.
Two easy wins since joining this yard; 10lb higher but could still be well ahead of game.

(3) Coal Fire 6/1, Appears to be on the up, hitting the crossbar from the front at Stratford on penultimate start before going one better with a last-gasp success at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft). 4 lb rise fair enough and he's one to consider.
Improved and narrow winner latest; 4lb higher and ground may be an issue.
11

40/1(-21%)
(11) Blame Rose 40/1, Maiden who looks pretty limited judged on what she's shown in half-a-dozen starts over hurdles, and hopes now pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking improvement.
Unplaced all starts; cheekpieces on for first time.
6

Joie De Vivre

(6) Joie De Vivre 22/1, Won on the Flat in September and reached the frame in a Carlisle handicap hurdle and Sedgefield handicap chase later in the autumn. However, she was safely held back in this sphere at Hexham in June and others make more appeal.
Better chance than it looks on the surface and return of cheekpieces could assist.

Strike Of Lighting

(8) Strike Of Lighting 8/1, Belatedly gained first taste of success over this C&D in May and creditable third upped to 25.4f back here (good to soft) next time. That form looks solid (winner went in again on Saturday) and leading candidate back at what appears to be his optimum trip.
C&D winner in May and good effort over further here next time; should run well.
5

That's Me Finished

Unplaced all starts, including handicaps, and only once better than tailed off.
4

Prince Nino

12

(4) Prince Nino 12/1, Opened his account in 20.2f handicap here (good to soft) earlier this month, given an assertive ride and kept on gamely when challenged on the run-in. Moving back up in trip shouldn't be a problem but this is a tougher race.
Two starts for this year and won gamely at Perth this month in the latest; 3lb higher.

Sir Canford

(1) Sir Canford 18/1, Off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt for this yard in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap (good to soft) last month. That wasn't a particularly strong race, though, and a 4 lb rise could find him out.
Uttoxeter winner on third start after long absence; up 4lb and in the shake-up again.
2
10th (2) Camilla's Choice (11/1 -100%)
Camilla's Choice

11
11/1(-100%)
(2) Camilla's Choice 11/1, Surpassed pick of her Irish form when making second start for this yard a winning one at Bangor (23f, good). Up 8 lb but she did the job in decisive fashion and is likely to remain competitive.
Won in style at Bangor this month and 8lb rise might not stop her going in again.
LTO Selection:

15:30 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

MY GIFT TO YOU made an immediate impact when switched to handicaps last month. A comfortable hurdles winner at Southwell, he went on to strike over fences next time out and James Owen's progressive five-year-old looks well placed to bring up his hat-trick now back over timber. Coal Fire and Prince Nino must enter calculations following their recent victories, while Camilla's Choice and Sir Canford are just two others to consider.

With five last-time-out winners, this looks very competitive. MY GIFT TO YOU has improved significantly since switched to this yard, equipped with a tongue strap and partnered by Harry Cobden the last twice, bagging handicaps in this sphere at Southwell and over fences at Worcester. The 5-y-o is taken to complete the hat-trick, perhaps at the chief expense of Coal Fire. Strike of Lighting also enters calculations and Camilla's Choice needs a second look, too.

A very competitive event could go to CAMILLA'S CHOICE after her emphatic Bangor win.

(8) Smart Connection 80/1, Fair at best on Flat for Alice Haynes but has shown little form this year, yet to make much impact over hurdles and he was always behind back on the level last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere.
Has been unplaced in all starts for this yard.

Seemingly in steady decline in last two years; would prefer quicker; yard form a plus.

Southwell winner last month; well held on stable debut latest; better needed.

2.25/1(+18%)
(5) Unwanted Attention 2.25/1, Built on earlier promise when opening account in 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in June, rallying to lead over 2f out. Could do with brushing up his jumping, but should be suited by this longer trip and he can make his presence felt.
Much improved when winning latest start (well backed); 5lb higher.

Confelicity

Has shown enough to be of interest on handicap debut with Brian Hughes booked.

Third on stable debut last month; lots of good runs but 0-15 over hurdles; tongue-strap on.

(9) Robeam 33/1, Showed that he retains some ability when fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (24.3f) in June, but virtually refused to race next time and was very slowly away when down the field on his latest outing. Best watched.
Good spell of form last year but out of sorts since.

(3) Tip Top Tonto 12/1, Fair form at best but, after 12 months off, he failed to justify favouritism when a well-beaten third in maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in June. Fared no better at Worcester a month later, so he needs to get back on track upped in trip for his handicap debut (cheekpieces reapplied).
Well beaten in both starts this summer; up in trip for handicap debut; cheekpieces back.

16:05 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

BLENDED STEALTH made a highly encouraging first start for the Lizzie Quinlan stable when he managed to hit the frame at Uttoxeter over 2m4f and the son of Walk In The Park now goes in a first-time tongue-tie, which could eke out the improvement needed to score now back up in trip. Last-time-out victor Unwanted Attention is a live threat after he accounted for his nearest rival by a length and he should go well off a 5lb higher mark. Any market support for Tip Top Tonto on his handicap bow would be of interest.

BLENDED STEALTH shaped encouragingly on his stable debut when third at Uttoxeter last month and, with a tongue strap applied, he can build on his latest effort to open his account. Unwanted Attention arrives here on the back of his first success and is feared most upped in trip, with Sunshine Girl completing the shortlist.

After his improved display when winning at Uttoxeter, UNWANTED ATTENTION (nap) makes most appeal.

(5) Sinndarella 4/1, Steps back in the right direction of late, placed over C&D and at Bangor. This is a bit tougher.
1-42 under both codes and the winner seemed to want it more at Bangor last time.

(6) Spot On Soph 4/1, Right back on track to capitalise on a handy mark with something to spare at Market Rasen earlier this month. Better than the result there next time and not ruled out up in trip.
Good recent form over 2m2f at Market Rasen and this longer trip won't faze her.

(3) Shantou Sunset 2.25/1, Dual winner at Stratford last season and made a very positive start for new yard when edged out on the line in similar handicap over further here 8 weeks ago. Nudged up 3 lb but clearly of interest.
Very nearly won her seventh race over 3m1f here two months ago.

(4) Belles Benefit 7.5/1, Landed a gamble in good style on first run for yard at Fontwell and continued in form, taking a keen hold and no match for classy winner at Market Rasen when last seen 13 months ago. Down 4 lb and a player if ready to go.
Has form here; can go well fresh and this reduced mark offers hope.

(2) Jumping Susie 4.5/1, Has returned in good form, looking the likely winner for much of the straight but collared late in Killarney mares' maiden 5 weeks ago. That race had a bit of depth to it and she could have more to offer now handicapping for yard that does well here.
Career-best form in finishing second in Irish maidens at 2m4f and 2m7f.

10/1(-122%)
(1) Bon Retour 10/1, Dual winner for Nicky Richards last summer, including this race. Yet to show that form for current yard but she was given a considerate return from a 3-month break at Market Rasen in June. Similar absence since and she lurks on a tempting mark.
Won this last year but needs a turnaround in form for her current yard.
LTO Selection:

16:40 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

SHANTOU SUNSET just missed out by a short head in a fierce battle to the line over an extended 3m1f around here last time and despite being raised 3lb for that effort, the nine-year-old can cope with the drop back in distance to score on only her second start for the James Moffatt yard. Jumping Susie makes her handicap bow after hitting the crossbar on both of her outings this year and she could get involved off what looks a workable opening mark of 108. Belles Benefit returns from a layoff but could prove the pick of the remainder if fully wound up for her reappearance.

Tricky stuff but JUMPING SUSIE might have more to offer now handicapping for an Irish yard that does well here and she gets the vote over Shantou Sunset and last year's winner Bon Retour.

Quite a competitive finale. SPOT ON SOPH is on a high enough mark but her recent efforts bode well.

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.
