Comment: Third in a 3m point and he improved upon his 2m novice hurdle form to win when upped in trip on handicap debut over C&D (soft) three weeks ago; came clear with an unexposed runner-up and this 4yo is a key player up 6lb.

Comment: Second to Heritier in this last year (soft) and runs off a 10lb lower mark today; he's struggled on both starts this season but the drop back in trip and removal of headgear may help and he's not written off.

Heritier

Jockey: Peter Kavanagh Trainer: Lizzie Quinlan Age/Wt: 8/11-1 F: 8547-F OR: 97

8/1

Comment: His form went the wrong way over hurdles/fences earlier this year but encouragement can be taken from his reappearance at Ayr four weeks ago, when he ran well for a long way before tiring and falling at the second-last fence; now 4lb lower than when winning this last year (soft) and on the shortlist.

Comment: Showed promise on all three novice hurdle starts, winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) on the second occasion; takes on battle-hardened types on today's chase/handicap but this very lightly raced point winner (3m, soft to heavy) could improve for the switch to fences and certainly has potential.

Comment: 10yo who was pulled up in the spring on final two runs for Brian Ellison; however, he may have benefited from a change of scenery (remains in same ownership) and his new trainer has enjoyed a productive November; down to a dangerous mark and he won on his sole previous visit to Carlisle.

Comment: Just one win (on soft to heavy) from his 28 starts but he's run well in third in competitive handicaps in Ireland on his last two starts over fences (3m7f/3m4f, yielding/good to yielding) and his surplus stamina may well be a positive at this stiff course; can be in the mix.

Uptown Harry

Jockey: Peter Kavanagh Trainer: Jane Walton Age/Wt: 11/10-2 F: 46-P54 OR: 77

17/2

Comment: Two wins in the mud at Carlisle but he's a frequent visitor, including when pulled up in this race last year; has a 19lb lower mark today (even from 2lb out of the handicap) but does not look the percentage call despite showing some ability early this year.

10/1

Comment: His last win was at this track on heavy ground but back in March 2023; pulled up in this race last year; his next two runs last winter read well, given he has now tumbled so far down the weights, but they were 22l and 16l defeats and other runners are currently more persuasive.

Don Brocco

Jockey: Dylan Johnston Trainer: Gary Rutherford Age/Wt: 9/10-9 F: P1P3-P OR: 86

12/1

Comment: Seriously hit and miss in recent outings but they include his win in a 15-runner race here (3m, soft) in February and he did that in good style from the front; 7lb higher today but he stays well and presumably needed this month's reappearance; a return to competitiveness is possible.

Super Citizen

Jockey: B S Hughes Trainer: Lucinda Hughes Age/Wt: 11/11-7 F: 12-854 OR: 98

14/1

Comment: 4-46 in chases, with latest win in four-runner race in April on his only visit to Carlisle (3m, good); plenty of other form last season gives him an each-way chance, he stays 3m2f and used to be fine in the mud; however, he was a remote last of four on last month's return from a summer break.

20/1

Comment: A rallying fourth in this race last year and second of 15 to Don Brocco over 3m here in February; Hexham win in March saw him move back up the weights and he fell early there on this month's return, but he needs a second look.

25/1

Comment: Won the 2023 North Yorkshire National at Catterick (3m6f, heavy); however, he has sparked only occasionally since, did little last season and was beaten nearly 50l at Ayr 18 days ago; negatives seem in the clear majority.

Maid Of Houxty

Jockey: C O'Farrell Trainer: Donald Whillans Age/Wt: 10/10-6 F: 2431/P OR: 83

40/1

Comment: Lightly raced 10yo whose win was at Newcastle (extended 2m7f, heavy) in March 2023; not seen again until pulled up at this track (2m4f, soft; 66-1) three weeks ago, not suggesting that a return to winning ways is imminent; a tongue-tie (last used in 2022) is reinstated.

Whispering Dancer

Jockey: Nathan Moscrop Trainer: Susan Corbett Age/Wt: 6/10-2 F: 05-99 OR: 69

Comment: Won an Irish maiden point but at the sixth attempt and when only three ran; that was in March 2024 and his subsequent three novice hurdles and one 3m handicap chase (just 6-1; with cheekpieces enlisted) have all seen him beaten 37l minimum; 10lb out of the handicap.

Comment: First foal; dam point winner, out of unraced half-sister to three pretty useful bumper/hurdle winners; second in an Irish maiden point last November; with Brian Hughes up, he may be the first string among the stable's three runners, but the betting can reveal more.
