20:42 Carlisle — Racing TV Handicap model predictions

Balmoral Boy (IRE)

0%

Half-brother to a few winners and a market check is advised in this second handicap; however, he was soundly beaten at 50-1 in mid-division in a handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; improvement needed.

Scheffler (IRE)

0%

Promising third on debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March before two lesser runs (6f/1m, AW); has since left Richard Hughes; interesting to see how he goes in the betting in first-time cheekpieces on handicap/stable debut.

Unchartedterritory (IRE)

0%

0-5 and hasn't progressed but ran respectably when third of six in Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) last Wednesday; has run well on good to soft (unraced on softer); could have a part to play.

Ibn Altheeb (IRE)

0%

Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last October in first-time cheekpieces and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time blinkers today, but he's struggled on both runs this season and a major turnaround is necessary.

Ephron (IRE)

0%

Having been gelded he made a winning handicap and seasonal debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April; only fifth at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) since but faded late on and he could be in the mix over a furlong shorter.

Cosmic Man (IRE)

0%

Best 2yo run came when keeping on for close fourth here (6f, good) in September; however, he's struggled elsewhere on both runs this season (7.4f/7f, good to soft/AW) and a dramatic revival is needed back at Carlisle.

Espanita (IRE)

0%

Won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March on second start; she remains lightly raced and is not written off but she's failed to progress since that win and was only eighth of 12 on last month's turf debut (8.3f, good to soft).

Mr Moonshine (IRE)

0%

Kept on for neck second on nursery debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last September; soundly beaten at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 11 days later and he's unproven on slow ground, but he reappears having been gelded and remains one to be interested in given the Thirsk effort.

Clocker (GB)

0%

She's raced three times and she showed up well before fading into fourth on her reappearance in a maiden at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April; her pedigree indicates this extra furlong will be a positive on her handicap debut and she's one to consider.

Attention Seeker (IRE)

0%

0-9 and had been regressive this year, but last month's fourth of nine at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) was a step back in the right direction; ran well on soft ground last September and he's not ruled out.

Hatamoto (GB)

0%

Runner-up on handicap debut here (1m, soft) last month and the drop back to 7f looked to be against him at Leicester (good to firm) eight days later, when he stayed on for third; high on the list.
