Horse Racing tips: A 4/1 NAP tops our best bets at Carlisle today

*All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widgets, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change

13:25 – Retirement Beckons

The obvious one is the thriving RETIREMENT BECKONS who escapes a penalty for last week’s Hamilton apprentice success and has the services of Simon Walker. Bankawi is another who has been in good form of late and can follow Linda Perratt’s 7yo home.

14:00 – Hostelry

An open handicap may go the way of HOSTELRY whose sole previous win came over C&D in July and who has remained in form. Glittering Choice is relatively low mileage and heads the list of dangers, which also includes End Zone, Where’s Jeff, Albegrey and Chinese Spirit.

14:35 – Alpha Capture

There was plenty to like about ALPHA CAPTURE’s debut second at Newbury and he’s taken to go one better for his top stable. Fellow Newmarket raider Tephi could be the one to give him most to to do, although the newcomers all have something to recommend them on paper and need monitoring in the betting, particularly James McHenry given he was quite an expensive breeze-up buy and the stable has a useful one to compare him to.

15:10 – Barefoot Angel

A few of these offer potential but it’s impossible to side against BAREFOOT ANGEL who shaped really well on her debut at Ripon when chasing home subsequent Lowther Stakes heroine Swingalong and can go one better now. River Naver also made a promising start when fourth at Newmarket and should ensure Richard Fahey’s Dark Angel filly doesn’t have things all her own way. Pride Of Yorkshire is no forlorn hope either, after a break.

15:45 – Aphelios

Roshambo opened her account in taking style and has better days ahead of her but on this occasion she might have to give second best to another improving sort in APHELIOS who made a promising start for Mick Appleby when a strong-travelling second at Chelmsford and gets in off the same mark here. Newmarket scorer Lady Raeburn looks the pick of the remainder.

16:20 – Spioradalta

A case can be made for most of these but the most persuasive one is for SPIORADALTA who looks to have got in on a handy mark for his nursery debut and, furthermore, shaped as though this return to 7f would suit when third at Ayr last time out. Finn Russell is also weighted to have a say and both War Treaty and Prince Nabeel appeal as likely improvers now going handicapping.

16:55 – Ben Asker

Cases can be made for several of these but the addition of cheekpieces seems to have made a big difference for BEN ASKER (nap), who is 2-2 for his new stable since returned to the Flat last month and may still have further improvement to come. He gets the vote ahead of Wrath Of Hector, who is probably still on a workable turf mark. Albeseeingyer, Monhammer and Time To Rumble also make the shortlist.

17:30 – Rose Camira

I Am The Sea (second choice) could very easily improve for this longer trip and cheekpieces, while Gibside is coming along nicely. However, ROSE CAMIRA looks just the type to progress with her racing and there were excuses when she was made favourite for her handicap debut at Windsor.
