Weddings At Carlisle Racecourse Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Dual handicap hurdle winner for Jessie Harrington in Ireland in the first half of the season. Creditable second in novices on first 3 outings for Jennie Candlish and can be excused latest run over 3m. Should go well back over a more suitable trip with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces.

Fair hurdle winner in France. Respected on first outing for new stable, particularly if the betting vibes are positive.

Point recruit who looks more one for handicaps over longer trips based on his 2 hurdle runs in recent weeks.

Third in a bumper for Max Young in the autumn but beaten a long way in 2 hurdles since joining Mark Walford. Outsider again.

£40,000 Irish point winner who shaped well when second on his Bangor hurdle debut (17f, soft) in November. Should have more to offer and leading claims.

From a family which has served connections very well. Showed ability when fourth on Newcastle bumper debut in December but has run poorly in another bumper there since. Hurdle debut.

Fairly useful at best on the Flat in 2023 but struggled in 2 outings in that sphere last year and always behind after virtually refusing to race on last month's hurdle debut. Pigeon House surely the stable first string.

Placed in Irish points back in 2022 but no real promise in a bumper and 2 hurdles in the first half of 2024. Has had wind surgery ahead of return. Joltin N Jiving looks very much the yard number one.
