1. Wichahpi – 9/2 [Place your bet at bet365]
Wichahpi hasn’t been firing on all cylinders this season, but a return to this track could spark a better showing. Andrew Breslin rides again, and with cheekpieces retained, there’s hope she can bounce back to her old form in these calmer waters.
2. Havana Rum – 7/2 [Bet now with Betvictor]
Consistent without winning recently, Havana Rum has hit the frame on multiple occasions and looks ready to strike. With Oisin Orr on board and plenty of support in the market, he deserves serious consideration in this open handicap.
3. Belsito – 13/2 [Back it at Unibet]
Belsito has been knocking on the door but hasn’t had the rub of the green in his recent runs. With course and distance wins on his résumé and Tom Eaves handling duties, a turnaround wouldn’t be a shock.
4. Annie Edson Taylor – 20/1 [Wager via bet365]
Annie Edson Taylor hasn’t made a serious impact this year, but she’s dropped to a more realistic mark now. Sam James takes over in the saddle, and if she breaks well, she could surprise a few from her low draw.
5. Mattice – 18/1 [Try a longshot at Betvictor]
Mattice hasn’t made much noise this campaign, but the drop in grade could help. Shay Farmer gets the opportunity, and if the pace collapses late, he might pass tired rivals to grab a minor prize.
6. City Of Strangers – 14/1 [Get involved through Unibet]
City Of Strangers hasn’t found consistency since his early season win, but Clifford Lee takes over and a return to this trip could be a positive move. If he’s able to settle early, he may come with a strong late surge.
7. Agnes Grey – 12/1 [Place your bet with bet365]
Although out of sorts on her return, Agnes Grey can’t be dismissed around this venue where she’s gone well before. Jason Hart returns to steer, and a better draw might allow her to track the speed and pounce late.
8. Blue Seeker – 10/1 [Back it at Betvictor]
Blue Seeker has been hovering around the placings lately without quite getting his head in front. Paul Mulrennan keeps faith, and the gelding may enjoy the uphill finish if he gets a nice lead into the final two furlongs.
9. Dream Deal – 15/2 [Bet via bet365]
Dream Deal has been close enough in a few races to suggest another win isn’t far away. David Allan keeps the ride, and if the race opens up in the final furlong, he’s more than capable of finishing fast and late.
10. Larchill Lass – 12/1 [Go with Unibet]
Larchill Lass is hard to catch right, but she has shown flashes of ability. With Billy Garritty booked and a decent inside stall, she could grab a place if things go her way from an early stalking position.
11. Mister Sky Blue – 13/2 [Get on at bet365]
Mister Sky Blue has delivered some strong performances since being fitted with cheekpieces. Connor Beasley knows him well, and if he can secure early cover, he might travel into contention smoothly before launching a late challenge.
12. Memphisatmidnight – 20/1 [Try a punt with Betvictor]
Lightly raced and still learning, Memphisatmidnight has shown enough ability to suggest he’s not out of place. Duran Fentiman is back in the saddle, and the Easterby yard is known for striking with similar types in low-grade sprints.
13. Sporting Life – 28/1 [Wager through Unibet]
Still yet to show much in his limited appearances, Sporting Life returns from a long absence with Rowan Scott aboard. He’ll need to step forward plenty, but the booking hints that connections haven’t given up on improvement.
Verdict
Havana Rum has done enough recently to suggest a win is coming and could finally get his reward if getting the right run through. Mister Sky Blue rates as a danger with his consistent efforts and tactical versatility. Dream Deal should not be far away if he’s close enough turning for home, while Wichahpi may find the return to this track plays to her strengths.

1️⃣ Reciprocated – 2/1 (bet365)
A highly-regarded colt from Karl Burke’s stable, who shaped well on debut and is likely to take another step forward. Definite player if progressing as expected.
2️⃣ Regional Rock – 5/4 (Betvictor)
Broke the maiden tag impressively last time and is fancied to be very competitive here. With further improvement on the cards, looks one of the main threats.
3️⃣ Everydaysasaturday – 40/1 (bet365)
Faces a big ask in this company and is likely to need more experience before challenging in this grade. Outsider of the field.
4️⃣ Bleep Test – 7/2 (Unibet)
Showed strong form in previous efforts and seems poised to be a leading contender again. A repeat of the last display would see this one go close.
5️⃣ Gullane Girl – 28/1 (bet365)
Newcomer who enters a tough race for her first assignment. Likely to improve for the outing but may find this opposition too experienced today.
Verdict
Regional Rock appears to bring the most solid credentials to this race and may prove tough to beat. Bleep Test looks a real danger if continuing progress, while Reciprocated is another with clear claims and shouldn’t be far away at the finish.

1. Believeinthisone – [Best Odds: 25/1 at Unibet]
Showed little in a modest introduction and will need to take a considerable leap forward to compete here. Still very early days, but best watched for now.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
2. Daydreama – [Best Odds: 25/1 at bet365]
No public form to assess just yet, though stable has a fair record with youngsters. Worth noting if attracting support, but likely one for experience.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
3. Mister Moet – [Best Odds: 7/2 at Betvictor]
Much improved when finishing second on his second start, shaping with real promise. Sets the benchmark on form and looks primed for another big effort.
Suggested bookmaker: Betvictor
4. Our Hero Matty – [Best Odds: 11/2 at bet365]
Beaten a fair way both times so far, but the last run had some merit. Looks as though there’s more to come and improvement wouldn’t be a surprise.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
5. Showtown – [Best Odds: 9/2 at Unibet]
Showed a fair level of ability on debut and is bred to appreciate this trip. With that run under his belt, he could be sharper now and should not be overlooked.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
6. Snake Charmer – [Best Odds: 13/2 at Betvictor]
Nicely bred and hails from a yard known for early-season juveniles. Could be involved if ready first time out but remains an unknown quantity.
Suggested bookmaker: Betvictor
7. Stoic Poet – [Best Odds: 20/1 at bet365]
Little to go on and yard not noted for first-time-out winners in this type of contest. Others make stronger appeal.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
8. Surgeon Commander – [Best Odds: 20/1 at Unibet]
Didn’t catch the eye on debut and may need a bit longer to find his stride. Hard to fancy on bare evidence so far.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
9. Clear Above – [Best Odds: 11/2 at Betvictor]
Comes from a good operation and ran respectably on debut. Capable of building on that showing and definitely one to consider.
Suggested bookmaker: Betvictor
10. Ellie’s De Vega – [Best Odds: 40/1 at bet365]
No solid indicators so far, and yard not regularly successful in these events. Faces a stiff challenge on paper.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
11. Go Teejay – [Best Odds: 25/1 at Unibet]
Debutant representing a stable more often associated with older types. Might need this outing to gain experience.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
12. Northern Tempest – [Best Odds: 16/1 at Betvictor]
Well-related and could take a step forward here. Stable has done well with young sprinters, so worth watching for clues in the market.
Suggested bookmaker: Betvictor
13. Power Supreme – [Best Odds: 6/1 at bet365]
Unseated on debut so we didn’t get a true picture of his capabilities. Interesting if none the worse and returning quickly, with a respected jockey aboard.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
14. Ingleby Emma – [Best Odds: 25/1 at Unibet]
Another unknown quantity and makes her first appearance in what looks a competitive novice. May need more time to develop.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
Verdict
Mister Moet made a striking impression when chasing home a smart sort last time and appears the most solid option. Clear Above showed some promise on his initial outing and can take another step forward. Showtown, meanwhile, should come on for his first run and has place potential.

1. Irish Nectar – [Best Odds: 9/1 at Unibet]
Produced a sharp display to score last year but has found consistency elusive since. Back down in trip could help reignite some spark.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
2. Glorious Angel – [Best Odds: 16/1 at bet365]
Tends to finish in midfield, and while capable on her day, recent efforts haven’t inspired confidence. Will need to rediscover best form.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
3. Hyperfocus – [Best Odds: 14/1 at Betvictor]
The veteran sprinter’s best days may be behind him, though not completely devoid of potential. Minor money might be the ceiling here.
Suggested bookmaker: Betvictor
4. Blind Beggar – [Best Odds: 8/1 at bet365]
Often shows up well in decent handicaps without landing the prize. Solid chance if he breaks cleanly and secures early pace.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
5. Brummell – [Best Odds: 7/2 at Unibet]
Hit the ground running this season and arrives in sparkling nick. Remains on the upgrade and must go close off this mark.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
6. Moonstone Boy – [Best Odds: 10/3 at Betvictor]
Smart effort on his seasonal return when runner-up, and figures off a nice weight. A key player if progressing from that.
Suggested bookmaker: Betvictor
7. Never Dark – [Best Odds: 10/1 at bet365]
Back from a break and boasts a few strong finishes last term. Drawn to attack and could be in the mix if fully tuned up.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
8. Minnie Wildes – [Best Odds: 12/1 at Unibet]
Showed a nice turn of foot before disappointing last time. Still early in her campaign, and not ruled out for a bounce-back.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
9. Emeralds Pride – [Best Odds: 11/1 at Betvictor]
Lightly raced since returning, and may just be sharpening up. Could sneak a place if the pace collapses late.
Suggested bookmaker: Betvictor
10. Water Of Leith – [Best Odds: 7/1 at bet365]
In cracking form lately and looks dangerous if able to repeat that last surge. Looks well suited to Carlisle’s climb to the line.
Suggested bookmaker: bet365
11. Impressor – [Best Odds: 16/1 at Unibet]
Has struggled for rhythm recently and might need everything to fall his way to feature. Still, wouldn’t be the biggest shock.
Suggested bookmaker: Unibet
12. Invincible Annice – [Best Odds: 25/1 at Betvictor]
Lightly raced filly who hasn’t yet built on early promise. This looks tough against seasoned speedsters.
Suggested bookmaker: Betvictor
Verdict
Moonstone Boy looks poised to improve further following a strong reappearance and should go very close in this. Brummell, though, has been progressing nicely and rates a major danger. Water Of Leith is running at peak and cannot be overlooked on recent figures.

1. Little Ted – Best odds: 15/2 (Betvictor)
Had glimpses of competitiveness but remains below peak form. May struggle to assert in a tightly matched field.
2. Straya – Best odds: 7/1 (bet365)
Although showing limited progress this season, the drop in class could work in this one’s favour.
3. Langholm – Best odds: 8/1 (BetMGM)
Out of rhythm of late, but a revival wouldn’t shock at this level. Place claims if regaining form.
4. Elettaria – Best odds: 12/1 (bet365)
Consistently hitting mid-division but yet to convince as a winner. Needs more finishing punch.
5. Doomsday – Best odds: 10/1 (Betvictor)
Landed a minor contest earlier this year. Recent dips in form raise concerns over current sharpness.
6. Martin’s Brig – Best odds: 7/2 (bet365)
Sharp performer at this level, recent wins add weight to his credentials. Very much in the mix again.
7. Going Underground – Best odds: 28/1 (BetMGM)
Not much to shout about this season. Will need everything to fall right to get involved.
8. Lockdown Lass – Best odds: 20/1 (Betvictor)
No major impact since returning and recent outings haven’t hinted at an imminent turnaround.
9. Wheres The Crumpet – Best odds: 10/1 (bet365)
Produced some effort last time; looks to be heading in the right direction, and can’t be dismissed.
10. American Star – Best odds: 11/2 (BetMGM)
Tough to gauge, but recent signs of progress suggest he could be building toward a big run.
11. Superior Council – Best odds: 12/1 (bet365)
Remains winless and lacks recent consistency. Others look stronger on paper.
12. On The Bubble – Best odds: 14/1 (Betvictor)
Flashes of potential but hard to back with confidence. More of a speculative play.
13. Top Gun Tina – Best odds: 12/1 (bet365)
Reliable when things go her way; on a competitive mark and worth monitoring in the betting.
Verdict
Martin’s Brig stands out as the most reliable contender in this modest field, having delivered solid recent performances and proven himself under similar conditions. For value, American Star is progressing steadily and could pose a late threat if continuing to build. Top Gun Tina also warrants interest at a fair price given her consistency and competitive rating.

1. Action Pact – 33/1 – Unibet
This gelding showed limited ability on debut when finishing second but failed to build on that next time. Improvement is necessary to be competitive at this level.
2. Tee Aitch Aye – 20/1 – Betvictor
Consistent if not inspiring in two starts to date. The gelding needs to find a touch more to seriously challenge but can be involved for a place if taking another step forward.
3. Can’t Chant – 200/1 – bet365
Two uninspiring efforts so far suggest this one needs a drastic turnaround. Outsider of the field and rightly so.
4. Push The Limit – 10/11 – bet365
Scored on debut and returned this term with a strong second. Retains potential and brings solid credentials, though the short price reflects that.
5. Sea The Light – 9/1 – Unibet
Winning form already under the belt, but now steps up into a stronger contest. May need to find another gear to outclass some classy sorts here.
6. Balmerino – 150/1 – bet365
Showed little in previous outings and will likely be outpaced again unless there’s been marked improvement.
7. Danger Bay – 4/1 – Betvictor
Returned from a break with an encouraging second. Has scope to improve and should be a serious player in this company.
8. Elsass – 50/1 – Unibet
Failed to beat a rival home on his only start and doesn’t appear a likely threat unless transformed.
9. Gaelic Gladiator – 100/1 – bet365
Yet to offer much encouragement from two starts and others appeal more on current evidence.
10. The King’s Falcon – 2/1 – bet365
Three consistent performances including a recent near-miss. Should be thereabouts and could be the chief threat to the market favourite.
11. Tiernan – 33/1 – Betvictor
Debutant from a stable that’s had success with similar types. Hard to weigh up but should be watched for market moves.
12. Breizh Sea – 200/1 – Unibet
No form to date and looks thoroughly up against it on every metric. A minor miracle would be needed.
13. Storm On Jura – 100/1 – bet365
No sign of promise so far and this looks a big ask. Hard to recommend even for minor honours.
Verdict
While Push The Limit will attract attention thanks to strong form and an ideal profile, Danger Bay represents real value after a solid seasonal return. However, The King’s Falcon gets our nod—consistency, scope for further improvement, and a touch of class make him the standout alternative to the favourite.

1. Hill O Rue – 13/8 – bet365
Has twice gone close this term, showing significant improvement from a winless juvenile campaign. In-form and with scope for more, he’s the one they’ll all need to get past if the race unfolds to suit.
2. Belabambina – 22/1 – BetMGM
Well held in every start so far, she needs a considerable leap forward. The addition of a tongue-tie hasn’t helped much either. Difficult to support with confidence.
3. Nippasso – 11/1 – bet365
Showed glimmers of promise last time out but lacks consistency. If he can back that effort up, he might sneak into minor money, though others appeal more strongly.
4. Tootsie – 18/1 – Betvictor
Failed to threaten in multiple starts and is still finding her feet. Needs a transformation on the form book to get involved here.
5. That Lucas Fella – 10/3 – Unibet
Showed his best form yet when runner-up last time. He’s moving in the right direction and could go close again with a similar effort. A leading each-way play.
6. Havachoc – 15/2 – bet365
Finished better than the bare result suggested last time out and might be better suited to this slightly longer trip. A lively outsider if stepping forward once more.
7. Sweet Cicely – 4/1 – Betvictor
Running with credit without getting her head in front. Her consistent profile suggests she’ll be thereabouts again and could be one for exacta players.
8. I Got Know How – 14/1 – Unibet
Struggled to land a blow in recent runs but drops in class slightly here. Outside place claims if finding early rhythm and settling better than he has previously.
Verdict
Although Hill O Rue brings the most solid profile and appears well positioned to break through, That Lucas Fella caught the eye last time and could deliver on that potential if improving further. Sweet Cicely remains a model of consistency and will be there if the leaders falter.

Carlisle Racecourse Guide: Today’s Tips, Racecards, and Top Racing Insights
Carlisle Racecourse is a standout destination for horse racing enthusiasts in the North of England. Situated in the picturesque Cumbrian countryside, this historic venue offers a dynamic calendar of both Flat and National Hunt racing that attracts top-tier talent from across the UK. From prestigious fixtures steeped in tradition to thrilling seasonal meetings, Carlisle consistently delivers first-class racing action that tests both horse and rider to the fullest.
Overview of Carlisle Racecourse
Carlisle’s course is famously undulating, right-handed, and galloping in nature—offering a true stamina test across all race types. Whether you’re studying the latest Carlisle racecards or hunting for Carlisle tips for today’s races, it’s important to understand the unique topography and track quirks that often influence outcomes.
Flat Racing at Carlisle
On the Flat, the course stretches over one and a half miles, shaped like a pear with relatively gentle bends. However, don’t be fooled—Carlisle’s gruelling uphill finish, which spans over three furlongs, separates the contenders from the pretenders. Horses racing over distances of seven furlongs or more often benefit from securing a strong position before the home turn. While the course suits gallopers, younger or inexperienced horses may find the stamina demands particularly tough—especially early in the season.
Jump Racing at Carlisle
Carlisle’s National Hunt track is equally challenging, with steep undulations and a punishing uphill run-in that makes it a preferred testing ground for novice jumpers. While the fences are generally regarded as forgiving, their placement—especially at the bottom of the hill and just off the final bend—can catch out the unwary. This makes the venue a favourite among trainers introducing promising young chasers, especially on soft or testing ground.
Tactical riding is key here, with many riders choosing to conserve energy in steadily run contests. Horses that can travel well and stay on strongly in the final quarter tend to fare best—so if you’re looking for Carlisle racing tips today, focus on stamina, positioning, and proven track form.
