We’re pleased to announce Duke of Navan as Carlisle Racecourse’s official equine ambassador.

Duke of Navan was one of the flag bearing northern horses for a few good years and had wins as a novice hurdler before winning the Class 2 Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso in 2012. He won his first Novice Chase here at Carlisle in 2014 & followed it up by winning the Listed Handicap Chase at Ayr during the Scottish National meeting.

Duke of Navan was in training with local trainer

Nicky Richards for owners David & Nicky Robinson. He was broken in by Brian Harding who was his jockey until he retired in 2017, then Ryan Day & Danny McMenamin took over.

PLAY SMARTER

An interesting race of its type. GRAIN D’OUDAIRIES looked potentially useful when making a winning hurdling debut in a good time at Bangor back in November and is open to plenty of improvement, so he’s selected to defy a penalty Fly By Milan scored with a bit up his sleeve at Hexham and warrants respect, as does Largy Shark, who quickened clear in fine style at Ayr.

PLAY SMARTER

HARIBO COLLONGES took a step forward when third upped to 20.6f on his latest start at Market Rasen and, with the potential to do better still now faced with an even stiffer test, he is taken to make a winning start for the Patrick Neville yard Cases can also be made for the majority ofhis rivals, not least the 11-y-o Captain Zebo, who has been given a real chance by the handicapper, while Aazza and Yellowstone Park are others with decent claims.

WILD POLLY: Following its run on 1/2/2023 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe.

Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Tfou (FR), 4-1 Operation Overlord (IRE), 15-2 Paddy The Horse (IRE), 9-1 Buster Valentine (IRE), 11-1 Maid O’Malley (GB), 12-1 Knocknamona (IRE), 14-1 Wild Polly (IRE), Victory Echo (IRE), 22-1 Dawn Raider (IRE), 28-1 Dalyotin (FR), 33-1 Contre Ordre (FR)

OPERATIONOVERLORDandTfou,bothofwhomhavelowmileage,couldbethepairtoconcentrate on. The latter is likely to appreciate dropping back in trip here after finishing second over 23.4f at Kelso and he is greatly respected. However. the vote goes to Lucinda Russell’s charge, who left the impression that he could be about to come good in this sphere when fourth atAyr in February and is lurking on a potentially handy mark. Chasing debutante Wild Polly is best ofthe rest.

Cases can be made for a few but ARTIC ROW was unable to prove himself as still ahead of the handicapper following a 4lb rise when stumbling and falling soon after 4 out at Newcastle 10 days ago Providing he’s none the worse from that spill, NickAlexander’s charge is fancied to double his tally Limited Reserve maywell emerge as the main threat, with Duty Calls and Burrows Hall also considered.
