A tight race to kick things off and plenty are in with a chance. Lechro bolted up at Beverley last time but gets an 8lb rise in the weights which makes life tougher, while Aighear has been running really well without winning of late and is respected. Super Stars is one to watch in the betting on his first start for Julie Camacho but preference is for OWENS LAD, who looks ready to strike having done well in races that haven't been run to suit the last twice. These conditions should be ideal and he looks a major player.
Prediction : 1st Owens Lad 2nd Aighear 3rd Super Stars

SUMMIT has shaped with considerable promise on both her starts to date and this drop back to 6f on a stiff track is fancied to see her get off the mark. Gutsy Girl should have learnt plenty from her debut at Ascot, when held up in a race which suited the frontrunners, and she looks the main danger. Suicide Blonde took a step forward at Yarmouth last time and looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Summit 2nd Gutsy Girl 3rd Suicide Blonde

Both her debut at Kempton and her last run at Ripon suggest that ELUSIVE ANGEL may have been let in lightly on handicap debut off an opening mark of 73, and she can gain the first win of her career today. However, there are a whole host of potential dangers, possibly headed by Creative Style, who will be a player if the first-time blinkers do the trick from a low draw. B Associates and Happier are both likely to be involved in the finish if bouncing back to their form from earlier in the season.
Prediction : 1st Elusive Angel 2nd Creative Style 3rd Happier

15:45 Carlisle

BACK TOMORROW shaped with significant promise when chasing home a short-priced favourite on her debut a fortnight ago. Her finishing effort would suggest she ought to appreciate the stiff finish here, and natural progression can see Richard Spencer's filly strike at the second time of asking. Sidney's Son sets the standard with an official rating of 70 and he is likely to be in the thick of things, while No More Heroes appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Back Tomorrow 2nd Sidneys Son 3rd No More Heroes

16:20 Carlisle

Although REDARNA has not been at his best in recent starts, he is now 5lb lower than for last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup success and the drop into a class 4 contest is an added positive. Dianne Sayer's nine-year-old is preferred to Quest For Fun, who finished a creditable fourth in a competitive Racing League heat last time out. C&D winner Poet's Magic is another to enter calculations, along with Yoshimi, who seeks a third success from his last four starts.
Prediction : 1st Redarna 2nd Quest For Fun 3rd Poets Magic

16:55 Carlisle

In a race lacking depth, it might pay to side with the in-form FORTUITOUS STAR. Grant Tuer's charge has been knocking on the door in recent starts and she went desperately close at Redcar 11 days ago. A similar display could be enough to see the daughter of Starspangledbanner strike at the 12th time of asking, although Mister Sox can provide a stern challenge. The Caltonian completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Fortuitous Star 2nd Mister Sox 3rd The Caltonian
