Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Carlisle.
Carlisle
12:50 – Cedar Row – 9/2 – Gen – Trainer Jonjo O’Neill has a good record with his novice hurdlers at Carlisle in October & November – 5 winners from 12 runners 42% +11.5. He runs Cedar Row who won a point in April and is bred to appreciate 2m 4f and further on his hurdle debut.
2:30 – Bear Ghylls – 5/2 – Gen – Hasn’t been seen since finishing 4th of 7 to Bob Olinger in the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle at the 2021 Cheltenham Festival. He’s won fresh in the past, so the absence probably won’t be an issue. It won’t be easy against more experienced chasers but he’s very much a chaser in the making.
3:05 – Navajo Pass – 9/4 – Gen – A useful hurdler two season back but struggled for form on five starts last season. Bounced back to form when winning a heavy ground handicap on the flat at Haydock 16-days ago. That should have restored the 6-year-old’s confidence if nothing else. Looks well treated back over hurdles being 21lb lower than at the start of last season. On soft ground he looks the biggest threat to the favourite.
Cheers
John
