18:12 – Racing TV Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap

Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 6.4) (rail movements (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This is a small-field sprint but not a straightforward one, with several arriving in decent nick and the soft ground adding another layer to the puzzle. Jet Warrior comes here chasing a hat-trick after back-to-back wins and is the obvious one to beat if holding that level, while Lumenbourg shaped well when third last time and looks the chief threat on a mark of 56. Andalprofit also arrives off a win and has the speed figures to get involved from the inside stall, so there is no shortage of pace in a race over in a flash. Bay Breeze is exposed but not hopeless at this level, whereas Groundsman and Amaysmont need to step forward. It is not a strong Class 6 by any means, but it is competitive enough and likely decided by who handles conditions best late on.

Top Selections

1. Jet Warrior – 5/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Mr Henry Callan | Trainer: Ben Haslam | Form: -58311 | Rating: 54 | Topspeed: 45

Jet Warrior is hard to get away from. He has won his last two, arrives in the best form in the race, and still does not look badly treated off 54 given the way he has been finishing his races. In this grade, momentum counts for plenty, and Ben Haslam’s 4yo clearly has it. A small-field 5f can turn tactical, but stall 5 should give Mr Henry Callan options rather than problems. At 5/2 with Bet365, he is not exactly hiding from the market, but he still makes the most appeal because he brings recent winning form rather than just bits and pieces of promise. Bet: WIN

2. Lumenbourg – 5/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Miss Amy Collier | Trainer: Julie Camacho | Form: 238-03 | Rating: 56 | Topspeed: 39

Lumenbourg looks the percentage each-way play, even in a six-runner race with only two places. He returned from a break with a fair effort and then took a step back in the right direction when third last time, suggesting Julie Camacho has him coming to the boil now. He is on the highest mark in the field, but that is hardly a major burden in a modest Class 6 and his overall profile is solid enough for this company. The 5/2 is no giveaway, yet he has the consistency and recent evidence to think he will run his race again. If the favourite underperforms, Lumenbourg is the one I can see picking up the pieces. Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple here: Jet Warrior is the win bet because he is the only one arriving with clear upward momentum and recent victories to his name. Lumenbourg is the each-way alternative in a race where solid, uncomplicated form should count for plenty. Andalprofit is the obvious danger after scoring last time, while Bay Breeze could nick a place if the principals fluff their lines.

18:42 – Watch Racing TV Live EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Race Details: 5f | Class 3 | Going: 6.4) (rail movements (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a fairly informative little novice for the grade rather than a throwaway early-season dash. Rock Steady Beat sets the standard on bare figures after a solid debut fifth and his 79 rating gives him plenty to recommend, but he is short enough in a field where a couple of fillies could easily step forward. Eevee Star shaped with promise when third first time and, receiving 5lb from the colts, looks the obvious danger. Sydney Grace also has experience on her side and is not dismissed, while the unraced brigade are harder to weigh up, especially with soft conditions at Carlisle often finding out the less streetwise juveniles. In truth, the market has probably honed in on the right trio, but there may still be a bit of each-way value lurking behind the favourite.

Top Selections

1. Eevee Star – 10/3 with Bet365

Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Edward Bethell | Form: 3 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 52

Eevee Star is the one I want on side. She made a perfectly respectable start when third, and in races like this that initial experience can be worth plenty, especially on soft ground over a sharp 5f where things happen quickly. Her mark of 78 leaves her only 1lb shy of Rock Steady Beat, yet she gets the sex allowance and has every right to come on for that first outing. Connor Beasley is an eye-catching booking for this yard at Carlisle and 10/3 feels fair rather than cramped. If she breaks a touch sharper this time, she has the pace and professionalism to take this. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Sydney Grace – 9/2 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Paddy Bradley | Trainer: Charlie Fellowes | Form: 6 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 36

Sydney Grace is probably the one the market may not have fully given up on after a debut sixth. That was hardly a headline-grabbing run, but the bare finishing position does not always tell the whole story with inexperienced two-year-olds, and a mark of 75 suggests there was enough there to think she can be more competitive here. She gets in with 128lb, has a decent draw in 2, and Charlie Fellowes is more than capable of finding improvement from first to second start. At 9/2 she makes more appeal as an each-way punt than taking the even-money favourite on trust. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Eevee Star is the win play: she has the right mix of experience, a workable rating and scope to improve past the favourite. Sydney Grace is the each-way alternative at a backable price in an eight-runner field with three places on offer. Rock Steady Beat is the obvious danger on figures, while any strong move for one of the newcomers would be worth noting late on.

19:12 – Follow Racing TV On X Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 4 | Going: 6.4) (rail movements (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a novice that revolves around a couple of solid 3yos, with Glory Road bringing the standout form and Affettuoso the obvious threat on ratings. Ralph Beckett’s colt has already shown a clear level of ability in two starts, while Roger Varian’s runner has the right profile to improve again now stepping into this sort of test. After that, it becomes much murkier. Ceinture D’Orion has shown enough to suggest he can be competitive, and there are a few lightly raced or unraced types such as Steel Raven and Snake Hips who could step forward, but plenty of the field look up against it on what they’ve achieved so far. It’s not a deep novice, but there are enough unknowns underneath the favourite to make the place market interesting.

Top Selections

1. Glory Road – 8/11 with Betfair

Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: 2-3 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 34

Glory Road is the one they all have to beat. He sets the standard on an official mark of 85 and his two runs to date have come in the right sort of company for a race like this. That latest third suggests he’s still learning, but it also says he has the engine for a novice of this nature, and Beckett’s horses tend to know their job when they come north. The soft side of good at Carlisle asks a question, but his pedigree and style don’t scream vulnerability. At 8/11 he isn’t a gift, but he is hard to oppose given what the rest have actually achieved. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Ceinture D’Orion

Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: David O’Meara | Form: 46 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 64

Ceinture D’Orion makes more each-way appeal than most in here. His form figures of 4 and 6 don’t leap off the page, but a 71 rating is perfectly respectable in this field and that topspeed figure of 64 is one of the more interesting pieces of evidence on offer outside the principals. He also gets in with just 125, which won’t hurt around Carlisle if this turns into a proper stamina test late on. O’Meara and Tudhope are always worth noting in these northern novice events, and he looks the type who can pick up the pieces if the classier pair don’t fully fire. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple: Glory Road is the win play because he has the best form and the highest rating, and this doesn’t look a race crying out for bravery against him. For an each-way angle, Ceinture D’Orion makes more sense than the bigger-priced guessers because he has at least shown a workable level of ability. Affettuoso is the obvious danger if improving as expected.

19:42 – racingtv.com Handicap

Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: 6.4) (rail movements (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This is a proper Carlisle sprint handicap rather than a penalty kick, with plenty of pace on paper and a few of these arriving from different angles. Trilby is the obvious starting point after a win and a solid third, and the market has latched onto him for good reason from a handy low draw. Qila is the unexposed one in the line-up, getting plenty of weight as a 3yo and shaping like there could be more to come. The Bell Conductor arrives off a big run and has the figures to be involved again, while Station X and Parisiac are capable if things fall right. It is not a weak race at all for the grade, but equally it looks the sort where a well-treated improver can upset the established older sprinters.

Top Selections

1. Qila – 13/2 with Sky Bet

Jockey: Ben Robinson | Trainer: Brian Ellison | Form: 54-2 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 51

Qila is the interesting one here because she is still lightly raced and gets in off just 124 in a race where several of the older sprinters are exposed enough to know the score with. That comeback second suggested she has trained on, and while the bare Topspeed figure is not flashy, 3yos can improve quickly at this time of year once switched into handicaps. Ben Robinson is a good, uncomplicated booking for this sort of contest and stall 5 gives her options. At 13/2, she looks the one with a bit of upside in a race where plenty are already near their ceiling. Bet type: she is the WIN play.

Bet: WIN

2. The Bell Conductor – 17/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Jason Hart | Trainer: Ivan Furtado | Form: 0-6662 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 85

There is no mystery to The Bell Conductor at this stage of his career, but that is not a criticism in a race like this. His latest second was a clear step back in the right direction and his Topspeed mark of 85 is the best in the field, which immediately puts him on the shortlist for a stiff 5f on soft ground. Jason Hart is a positive booking for a horse who needs delivering late rather than being asked to do too much too soon. At 17/2, he makes plenty of each-way appeal because he has the raw pace figures and recent form to hit the frame even if one younger leg gets past him late. Bet type: EACH-WAY.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Qila is the win bet on the basis that she could still be ahead of the assessor and gets a very handy weight pull from the older horses. The Bell Conductor is the each-way punt at 17/2, especially with four places on offer, because his latest run and standout Topspeed figure give him a strong chance of making the frame. Trilby is the obvious danger and hard to leave out of calculations.

20:12 – Join Racing TV Now Handicap

Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 6.4) (rail movements (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This is a proper Carlisle handicap puzzle rather than a deep race, with plenty arriving in fair nick but few looking bombproof. Dubai Venture is obvious near the foot of the weights after another solid comeback run, while Taylormade Lad has the profile of one still capable of better now settling into handicaps over this sort of trip. Naturalia and Golspie are dependable enough and should give their backers a run, but both have had chances, while old boy Dr Rio is admirably consistent without being especially straightforward to win with. The soft ground and the long Carlisle straight should make this more about resolution than a turn of foot, and that may suit the lighter-weighted, progressive types best. It’s competitive, but not impossible to unpick.

Top Selections

1. Dubai Venture – 9/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Joanna Mason | Trainer: Tina Jackson | Form: 2112-2 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 80

Dubai Venture makes plenty of appeal in a race where several of these look weighted to the hilt. He returned from a break with a runner-up effort and that form line fits very well in this company, while his profile over middle distances is solid and his Topspeed figure of 80 is the best on offer here. Carrying just 119, he gets in with a lovely racing weight for a soft-ground staying test of this nature, and Joanna Mason is the sort to have him well positioned before this becomes a slog. Available at 9/2 with Bet365, he looks the percentage call. Bet type: win.

Bet: WIN

2. Taylormade Lad – 9/2 with Betfair

Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Michael Dods | Form: 129-33 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 75

Taylormade Lad is no giveaway at the prices, but he does have a likeable profile for an each-way punt in a 12-runner race. His last two efforts, both third-place finishes, suggest he is knocking on the door, and stall 2 should help Connor Beasley save ground before asking him to lengthen late. He doesn’t have the sexy upside of an unexposed handicap blot, but he is relatively reliable, acts over the trip and comes here in better order than plenty of these. In a race full of older exposed handicappers and a few with questions to answer, 9/2 looks fair enough for a horse with strong place claims. Bet type: each-way.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Dubai Venture is the win play, with his low weight and strong recent form making him hard to oppose in this grade. Taylormade Lad is the sensible each-way alternative in a race paying four places, as he looks likely to run his race again. Naturalia and Golspie are obvious dangers if building on recent efforts, while Dr Rio is another who could easily hit the frame.

20:42 – Racing TV Handicap

Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 6.4) (rail movements (Soft (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a proper three-year-old handicap rather than a giveaway, with several arriving from different angles and not much between the principals on the book. Hatamoto has been knocking on the door and is clearly well treated if building on his latest placed efforts, while Unchartedterritory comes here with a solid bit of handicap form and the O’Meara-Tudhope combination always commands respect in races like this. Clocker is unexposed after just one run this season and could easily step forward, and Ephron already has a recent win to his name, though he now has less margin for error. It is not a vintage race, but it is a tricky enough puzzle because a few of these are still learning their trade and the soft ground adds another layer.

Top Selections

1. Hatamoto – 5/1 with Betfair

Jockey: Duran Fentiman | Trainer: Tim Easterby | Form: 55-623 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 70

Hatamoto makes plenty of appeal in a race where recent, solid handicap form counts for a lot. He has edged closer on his last two starts, finishing second and then third, and that latest run suggested this sort of trip on soft ground is very much within range. The useful Topspeed figure of 70 stands up well in this field, and although officially the highest-rated runner, he gets in here off just 120, which makes him look especially dangerous. Tim Easterby’s runners at Carlisle are never easily dismissed and Duran Fentiman should be able to slot him in from stall 8. At 5/1, he looks the percentage call.

Bet: WIN

2. Unchartedterritory – 10/3 with Bet365

Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: David O’Meara | Form: 54-473 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 44

Unchartedterritory is hardly thrown in, but he is one of the more reliable ones in the line-up and that counts for plenty in a race of this nature. He has shaped with promise in handicaps this season, and his latest third suggested he is getting the hang of things now his racing is settling down. The draw in 5 looks workable, Daniel Tudhope is an obvious positive booking, and David O’Meara’s horses can improve suddenly when they get conditions to suit. He is not an adventurous each-way play at the price, but with four places on offer in a 12-runner race he still makes some appeal as a solid place candidate.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Hatamoto is the win bet because he brings the strongest recent profile and looks well positioned off a low weight despite his lofty rating. Unchartedterritory is the safer each-way option in a race where consistency could be rewarded. The main dangers look to be Clocker, who has more to offer, and Ephron, who already proved he can win a handicap if backing up that recent success.
