Carlisle 14:23 Odds Comparison

Low-mileage 7-y-o who confirmed reappearance promise when getting off the mark in 2m Musselburgh handicap (good to soft) in January. Bumped into a revitalised rival (pair clear) when beaten at short odds at Newcastle the following week. Effectively another 5 lb higher here but still not ruled out.

Sent off favourite when finishing mid-field in a Hexham bumper and offered a bit more than previously over hurdles when fourth of 7 on his handicap bow at Ayr (2m, soft) 4 weeks ago. Has had a breathing operation since and is bred to be suited by this longer trip.

From a good jumping family and showed more on his third outing over hurdles when seventh of 12 in novice at this course (17f, good to soft, 150/1) 60 days ago. Step up in trip will suit and he's the type to do better now handicapping.

Error-prone sort seemed to excel himself when third in a novice over 17f here at the start of March. Not in same form from well out of handicap at Sedgefield 48 hours later. Looks on a very interesting mark if able to reproduce his penultimate effort with cheekpieces back on.

Improved when recording hat-trick of handicap chase wins at Hexham (all 3m) in spring 2025. Returns from 9 months off here and market should prove best guide returned to hurdling for first time since 2022.

Mid-field in a bumper and has finished soundly beaten on all 3 starts over hurdles so far. Goes back up in trip for handicap debut but opening mark looks stiff.

Runner-up in a 2m Musselburgh handicap hurdle at the start of December but wasn't in same form when mid-field there a fortnight later. Didn't look a natural on chase debut last time so swiftly returns to hurdling.

Poor maiden who was well held again back over hurdles at Newcastle on Tuesday.

Temperamental sort who won at Hexham in May but has largely been let down by his attitude since and can't be considered a reliable betting proposition.

Irish point winner but no better than poor form over hurdles last season and has pulled up on both outings this campaign. Has had a breathing operation during 111-day absence.
