13:42 – Cumbria Grand Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 1f | Class 4 | Going: 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This doesn’t look a deep maiden on paper, but it does revolve around a pair with proper claims. Gambino sets the standard among those with completed hurdle form after a promising debut third, while Speed For Fun is the intriguing Mullins runner who fell on his only start and could easily be better than that bare line suggests. After those two, the race thins out quickly. Masekela has at least shown a bit in two runs and appeals as the one most likely to pick up the pieces if the market leaders underperform. The rest need marked improvement, with several already looking up against it. In truth, this is a fairly straightforward race at the head of the market rather than a fiendish betting heat.
Top Selections
1. Gambino – 1/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 3- | Rating: 125 | Topspeed: 88
Gambino looks the percentage call. A debut third over hurdles is already stronger evidence than most of these can offer, and that mark of 125 gives him a very solid platform in what is not an especially demanding maiden. Dan Skelton’s horses are rarely lacking for polish first time in this sphere and Harry Skelton is exactly the rider you want in a race where tactical sharpness could matter around Cartmel. At even-money he is hardly hiding, but he has the most persuasive completed form in the field and sets the standard that the others have to reach. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Masekela – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Brian Hughes | Trainer: James Moffatt | Form: 63 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 73
Masekela is no world-beater, but he has shown enough to make some each-way appeal in a race where the depth is thin. He improved from his hurdling debut when third last time and, crucially, arrives with race fitness and a bit of experience on his side. Brian Hughes taking over is an eye-catching booking for a local yard that knows exactly how to place one at this track. He doesn’t have the upside of the two market principals, but at 10/1 he looks the value option to run his race, jump soundly and nick a place if one of the favourites fails to fire. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Gambino is the win play and makes most appeal as the runner with the strongest finished hurdle form. For an each-way alternative, Masekela makes plenty of sense at the prices given his experience edge over most of the outsiders. The obvious danger is Speed For Fun, who could be a different proposition if brushing up his jumping after that early fall.

14:12 – Molson Coors Handicap Hurdle (Div I)
Race Details: 2m 6f | Class 5 | Going: 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a proper Cartmel handicap: not especially deep, but awkward enough if you latch onto the wrong one. Seeyainthesuninn heads the market after getting back on track last time and is the obvious starting point off 108, while Secret Secret has been knocking on the door in similar company and looks sure to be popular with Brian Hughes booked. Born Like Me is interesting as one of the younger legs in the field and still has time to do better over staying trips, whereas Westerton is harder to trust after that latest pulled-up effort. Plenty of these are exposed, and a few arrive with questions, so I would rather side with the one coming here in winning form and keep a saver each-way on a horse who still looks feasibly treated.
Top Selections
1. Seeyainthesuninn – 11/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Joshua Thompson | Trainer: Micky Hammond | Form: 873-P1 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 90
He is hardly hiding from the assessor now, but that latest win gives him the most solid recent profile in the field and it came after a sequence that hinted he was building back toward something. A mark of 108 is no gift in a race like this, yet it is manageable if he reproduces that last run, and the Topspeed figure of 90 says he has enough engine for this level. Cartmel rewards rhythm and straightforward jumping, and he looks one of the more likely types to hold a position and keep finding. At 11/4, he is not a wild price, but he is still the one with the fewest excuses.
Bet: WIN
2. Born Like Me – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Oscar Palmer | Trainer: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith | Form: 640-54 | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 90
He appeals as the each-way angle because, unlike plenty of these, there is still a bit of room for improvement in the profile. Only five, he has been brought along steadily and his last two runs suggest he is beginning to find his level in handicaps. Off 105, with a Topspeed of 90 matching the favourite, he does not have to improve much to get seriously involved. The Sue Smith yard knows the score in northern staying hurdles and this longer trip could yet draw out a little more. Available at 5/1, he makes more appeal than some of the older exposed types around him in the market.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Seeyainthesuninn is the win play because he arrives here off a recent success and looks the most solid option in a race full of unreliable stayers. Born Like Me is the each-way punt at 5/1, with age and scope on his side in a modest Class 5. Secret Secret is the obvious danger if Hughes can get him travelling and jumping smoothly, while Westerton is a risk-reward proposition after that latest flop.

14:42 – Molson Coors Handicap Hurdle (Div II)
Race Details: 2m 6f | Class 5 | Going: 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a thoroughly ordinary Class 5 on paper, but that does not make it easy. A few arrive with obvious questions: Katzoff has been hard to trust, Fairlawn Skipper has gone quiet after some fair efforts, and Les’s Destiny Star comes here on the back of two pulled-up runs. The more solid recent profiles belong to Masterminding and Matoury, with the latter chasing a hat-trick after back-to-back wins. Lelantos has bits of class for this level if the veteran can build on his latest fourth, while Zuul is lurking on a dangerous mark at the foot of the weights. Around Cartmel, rhythm and track position matter, and in a race lacking depth, the one who travels best and handles the unique test is likely to come out on top.
Top Selections
1. Masterminding – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Leah Noreci | Trainer: James Moffatt | Form: 676-23 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 82
Masterminding makes most appeal because he comes here in the steadiest form and still looks fairly treated off 102. His last two runs, finishing second and third, suggest he is knocking on the door in this grade, and this is not a race packed with improvers. James Moffatt’s runners are always worth a second look around these northern jumping tracks, and this seven-year-old has the profile of one who can be produced late if they go a sensible gallop. At 3/1 he is not hiding, but he is the one with the fewest holes in his case and he holds strong claims of finally getting his head back in front. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Zuul – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ellis Collier | Trainer: Rebecca Menzies | Form: 3P4-35 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 82
Zuul looks the each-way value in a race where plenty have something to prove. He is not especially prolific, but his recent figures are respectable enough for this level and, crucially, he gets in here with just 143lb, which can count for plenty over 2m6f around Cartmel. Rebecca Menzies often does well placing these exposed handicappers, and this eight-year-old has been running as though a race like this is within reach. He does not need to improve dramatically to make the frame, and with 15/2 on offer he appeals as the sensible each-way punt against more obvious but less generously priced rivals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Masterminding is the win bet because he brings the most reliable current form into a weak enough contest. Zuul is the each-way alternative at a fairer price, especially with three places on offer. Matoury is the obvious danger if completing the hat-trick, while Lelantos is capable of outrunning his odds if the old spark is still there.

15:12 – Furness Building Society Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a competitive little Cartmel handicap rather than a deep one, with a short-priced favourite in Raffles Nobu taking on a handful of solid, battle-hardened types. Scots Poet arrives in good nick despite unseating last time, while Zamond has been knocking on the door and is weighted to be involved again. Big Gypsy King is the unexposed one after getting off the mark, but this asks a different question under a higher burden. Cartmel tends to reward rhythm and position, and that makes recent, reliable hurdle form especially important. Raffles Nobu has the strongest recent piece of winning form in the book and is hard to get away from, but there are enough seasoned handicappers lurking here to make it no penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. Raffles Nobu – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Quinlan | Trainer: Nick Scholfield | Form: -P3421 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 94
He is the obvious one, but sometimes the obvious one is still the right one. Raffles Nobu arrives off the back of a deserved win after a string of consistent efforts, and that recent profile reads much better than plenty of these. An official mark of 104 is fair rather than punitive, and his Topspeed figure of 94 stands out in this company. Jack Quinlan is a positive booking for a horse who looks straightforward when in the groove, and if he gets into a smooth rhythm around here he should prove tough to peg back. At 7/4 he is not a gift, but he still sets the standard. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Zamond – 11/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Theo Gillard | Trainer: Donald McCain | Form: 482-82 | Rating: 103 | Topspeed: 79
Zamond is not especially flashy these days, but he keeps running his race and this looks the sort of contest where that counts for plenty. He was a fair second last time, has been holding his form, and his mark of 103 leaves him very much in the mix if the favourite underperforms. Donald McCain’s runners are always worth respecting in northern handicaps like this, and Theo Gillard should be able to keep him handy enough without getting involved too soon. At 11/2 he makes more appeal as an each-way punt than a win-only swing, especially in an eight-runner race with three places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Raffles Nobu is the win play because he comes here with the strongest recent form and the best speed figure for the race. For a bit of insurance, Zamond makes solid each-way appeal at 11/2 given his consistency and suitable mark. Scots Poet is the obvious danger if putting that latest unseat behind him, while Big Gypsy King is the potential improver.

15:42 – RF Miller & Co Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 4 | Going: 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This has the look of a tight little staying chase rather than a deep one, and with just five declared originally before the non-runner, tactics and clean jumping could easily settle it. Stratagem arrives in good heart and is the obvious starting point after a solid sequence of runs, while Slaney Opera is interesting dropped into this grade off a mark of 129 and receiving plenty of weight. Sean Og comes here on the back of a win and is another who should make his presence felt if allowed a rhythm up front. Le Malin is the awkward one after a long absence, but he is dangerously well treated if anywhere near his old level. Not an easy puzzle, but there is a fairly solid favourite shape to the race.
Top Selections
1. Stratagem – 2/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Mr James Murray | Trainer: Mickey Bowen | Form: 14-313 | Rating: 127 | Topspeed: 108
Stratagem makes most appeal in a race lacking depth. He has been holding his form well, with that recent 3 reading perfectly respectably in the context of this small-field Class 4, and his figures overall suggest he is running right up to his mark. A topspeed of 108 is a useful edge in this line-up, and Mickey Bowen’s runner looks the one most likely to cope best if this turns into a proper test from some way out. Mr James Murray knows him, and in a race where a couple of rivals have questions to answer, the available 2/1 looks fair rather than flashy. He is the percentage call.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a race of this size: Stratagem is the win bet and the only play. Small-field chases rarely reward getting too clever, and each-way betting is off the table here anyway. Slaney Opera is the obvious danger on raw ability and weight, while Sean Og is respected after his latest success if he gets an uncontested lead.

16:12 – Weatherbys Design & Print Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 1f | Class 3 | Going: 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This may only be a five-runner novice handicap chase, but it is a fairly tight little contest rather than a weak affair. Dunkerque arrives on a four-timer and sets the standard on recent chasing form, while Krak has the highest rating in the field and represents a yard you always respect in races like this. Kientzheim is another with solid enough credentials, though he has had chances, and Passing Diamond is the interesting unexposed one over fences after doing plenty right in lesser company. With such a small field, tactical speed and jumping rhythm could easily prove decisive around Cartmel, and that slightly favours horses who travel strongly and keep finding. It is not impossible to pick holes in them all, but Dunkerque looks the one with the clearest upward profile.
Top Selections
1. Dunkerque – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Quinlan | Trainer: Jennie Candlish | Form: 91-111 | Rating: 135 | Topspeed: 125
Dunkerque is very hard to get away from here. He comes in chasing a four-timer, his profile is that of a progressive novice who has really taken to fences, and that topspeed figure of 125 is comfortably the standout in this field. The mark of 135 still looks workable given the manner in which he has been winning, and he does not shape like one who has reached his ceiling just yet. Sean Quinlan is a positive booking around a track where keeping things simple matters, and at 2/1 he still makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of his rivals have a bit more to prove. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
In a five-runner race, keep it simple: Dunkerque is the win bet and there is no each-way angle worth forcing. He is the solid, progressive one with the best recent chase form. Krak is the obvious danger on pure ability, while Passing Diamond is the one who could step forward again if taking to this level.

16:47 – Old Park Wood Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 5 | Going: 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a typically tight Cartmel handicap where track craft and rhythm over the fences could matter every bit as much as raw ability. Kingofthegame brings the most persuasive recent profile after a pair of wins and a solid third, while Jack Sprat arrives on the back of an encouraging second and has the services of Brian Hughes. Path Of Stars is the unexposed one in the line-up as a 5yo, and Aill Dubh is weighted to be competitive if bouncing back. El Muchacho is another with obvious each-way appeal on consistent figures, but he does have a habit of finding one too good. It is not a deep race, but it is a tricky little puzzle with several in-form contenders and not much room for error around here.
Top Selections
1. Kingofthegame – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Mania | Trainer: Martin Todhunter | Form: -F3113 | Rating: 107 | Topspeed: 97
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where recent momentum counts for a lot. Kingofthegame has clearly turned a corner of late, winning twice before again running well when third last time, and that sequence reads particularly well in the context of this Class 5. He is effectively 14lb lower in the weights than topweight Imperial Rule, yet sits alongside the best of these on official figures, and his profile is simply cleaner than most. Ryan Mania is a positive booking for a horse who looks likely to be ridden with confidence, and 5/2 is fair rather than flashy for one who holds strong claims if reproducing his latest three runs. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. El Muchacho – 14/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: William Maggs | Trainer: Mike Sowersby | Form: 323-23 | Rating: 107 | Topspeed: 102
At the prices, El Muchacho looks the value each-way play. He is not winning often enough to be trusted blindly, but those recent figures tell you he is running his race time and again, and his Topspeed mark of 102 is one of the better numbers on offer here. He comes here off the back of another placed effort and should be well suited by a contest that may reward a patient ride before staying on late. The slight concern is that he can look vulnerable when it comes to the business end, but 14/1 more than compensates for that in a 10-runner field with three places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kingofthegame is the straightforward win play given his progressive recent profile and solid mark for the grade. For an each-way punt, El Muchacho makes plenty of sense at 14/1 because he keeps knocking on the door and has the speed figures to get involved again. The main dangers look to be Jack Sprat, who is on a workable mark, and Path Of Stars, the lightly raced improver.
