Why Because^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 60

13/2

Fair form on all-weather for Harry Charlton last year. Hasn't quite reproduced that on turf for current yard but this is the first time she's dipped to a 0-60.

Form: 45-6475

Renewable Dream³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 59

15/2

14/1, first run since leaving Seb Spencer when last of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, firm) 32 days ago. His yard has tasted recent success in this race but would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 3390-98

(3)

Reenie's Dream¹¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart| OR: 55WS

5/2

Unreliable sort. Creditable fourth of 12 at Southwell in March but not in the same form there a month later. Off since (has had breathing operation). Second over C&D 12 months ago.

Form: 50-9948

(8)

Fate's Gambit²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 60

8/1

Fair form at best in Ireland for Robson De Aguiar. HIs new stable is among the winners and interesting contender up against largely more exposed opposition.

Form: 355093

Zous Juice⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 54

9/2

Modest maiden who has finished down the field in a pair of 1m handicaps this year nearly 4 months apart. Would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 56/94-90

(7)

Blairtum Night³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 53

25/1

Night Of Thunder gelding who has offered little in 3 novice events but more chance now handicapping, particularly with his yard among the winners.

Form: 8-64

(6)

April Diamond¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 52

17/2

Very lightly-raced 5-y-o. Improved effort when runner-up on handicap bow over 6f here in June but 2 disappointing runs have followed. A return to Carlisle needs to help spark a revival.

Form: 765206

Rajawail^b,t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

125/1

Long-standing maiden who has lost her way.

Form: 750607

(4)

Long Shot^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: O McSweeney| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48

9/2

Has made the frame 5 times in handicaps this season. Not at his best when fourth of 13 in Newcastle classified race last time but still rates one of the more likely contenders here.

Form: 242404

(5)

Runninman^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Aiden Brookes| T: D W Whillans| OR: 45

40/1

First run since leaving Stephen Hanlon when twelfth of 13 in classified event (25/1) at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago. Needs to leave that run well behind. Cheekpieces go back on.

Form: 368740

Forecasts

Reenie's Dream (5/2), Zous Juice (9/2), Long Shot (9/2), Why Because (13/2), Renewable Dream (15/2), Fate's Gambit (8/1), April Diamond (17/2), Blairtum Night (25/1), Runninman (40/1), Rajawail (125/1)

Ruth Carr has her team in form so it may be worth chancing her new recruit FATE'S GAMBIT, who is nicely handicapped on his peak form in Ireland. Fellow 3-y-o Long Shot is second choice. April Diamond could also have a say if recapturing the level of her course handicap debut second.
