Carlisle - Wednesday 23rd June.

[Monterosso]

3:05 Carlisle - Flowing Cape - .5pts e/w @ 8/1 (Bet365) Speedy sort who has been in fine form of late, Winning recently off 3lbs lower at Leicester then ran into trouble numerous times last time out but still managed to come 3rd less than a length off the winner in a similar contest to this, Also at Leicester. He's a well bred son of Cape Cross and related to many sprint and middle distance winners, He'll love the likely quick ground tomorrow and there should be enough pace to set the race up perfectly for him. Paul Pickard is on board, He's a decent 5lb claimer and has ridden this fellow to victory already this month and gave him a good ride last time out when struggling to find room, Will only be carrying 8-12 due to the claim and that's certainly a plus for me. Should have a good chance of placing at least, Major Phil is the obvious danger, Fallon on board for Cumani but he has a 6lb penalty to live with and top weight should make it difficult for him. Small each way bet on Flowing Cape.

Re: Carlisle - Wednesday 23rd June. 4:40 Carlisle - Atlantic Beach - 1pt Has only won once from fifteen attempts but has been shaping lately like he could be about to get another victory soon. Went off far to quick last time out and faded near the latter stages coming 6th of 19 but was only 4l behind the winner, Stepped back to 5f now, His penultimate race at Ripon was also over 5f where he came 2nd, Beaten by a neck and hit 1/10 in running and should of won, The winner of that race has also won again. Has the very underrated Silvester Da Sousa on board this time and he could be the one to get him over the line, Da Sousa shows nearly £250 to £1 level stakes which is outstanding. He's a very capable sprint jockey and has a 14% win rate over this distance on the Turf. Should have a very good chance if he gets to set the tempo and is soundly drawn in stall 5. Currently around 4/1 on BF and hopefully he's around that price come morning, Has a good chance IMO. Noodles Blue Boy will probably be the one to beat, But he's carrying nearly 10 stone so I can't be having him on those terms.
