What's The Scoop in the 12:20 Carlisle. Top price 6/1 now after been nibbled already. 

Needs a bit of a leap of faith to fancy, as he's a 10 race maiden 9 year old, But looks possibly well weighted off 102 on a couple of bits of form (3rd at Catterick back in Feb'18, the winner won again off 125 and is now rated mid 130's, also should have won at Sandown back in '16 when he jinked badly on the run in when well clear.)

He is a big horse so the soft ground and galloping track should suit, as should giving weight to lesser horses. He only ran ok at Bangor last time but I doubt that track would have suited and should be fitter after a couple of runs. Was down to run at Newbury the other week but was a non runner, so may have had a niggle, but worth a risk at the price in a weak race.

Nap: 320 Southwell Schiaparannie 6/4 betvic

Back after a year off and 3 dismal starts for Ruth Jefferson last season, starts out for new yard who have already proved they can get the job done. Very well handicapped here on his best form and interesting they have started in an Amateur race so he wont get a penalty if he wins.

NB: 1240 Sth: Double Court 9/4 bet365
