FIRST RACE

TRENDSETTERS GUIDE

Previous race trends (2015-24) can often help provide a short-list of potential winners in the current year’s races. The percentage figure after the race details is the favourite’s ‘strike rate’ in the race. Trainers who have won the race before are also highlighted if they had an entry at the final declaration stage.

In handicap races, horses that have won before off the same/higher ratings are flagged as ‘well handicapped’.

Carlisle Trendsetters Guide ~ Thursday 16th October 1.22 – 2m 1f (Conditional Jockeys) Handicap Hurdle: New race in 2025.

1.57 – 2m Beginners Chase: New race in 2025.

2.32 – 2m 1f Novices’ Hurdle (Fav 52%): The race has often been divided into two divisions with 15 races run in the last ten years. 12/15 past winners were 4th or better on their last start (with six placed 2nd LTO) and 14/15 had odds of 9/2 or shorter. 5yo is the preferred age group with 11/15 wins seen. Trainers to watch: D McCain (3 wins), Lucinda Russell (1 win).

3.07 – 3m+ Handicap Chase (Fav 25%): 10/10 winners finishing 6th or better in their last completed race. In the betting all had odds of 12/1 or shorter with 7/10 being 13/2 or shorter. Trainer to watch: C Longsdon (1 win).

3.42 – 2m 4f Handicap Hurdle New race in 2025.

4.15 – 2m 4f Handicap Chase (Fav 0%): Race brought forwards from second October meeting here. No favourites have won since 2014 and only one 2nd favourite has won in the last 10 years. All 10 winners were aged 6-9yo. Also, all 10 winners were 6th or better on their last completed run (including four who were 2nd LTO). Hello Judge won in 2023 and is now 16lbs higher in the ratings. Trainer to watch: Ann Hamilton (1 win) 4.50 – 2m 1f NH Flat Race (Fav 20%): New race in 2020. Three of the five past winners were aged 5yo and all five had odds of 17/2 or shorter. Four were making their debuts under NH rules and the other was 3rd on its last run. Trainer to watch: J O’Neill (1 win).

FIRST RACE

A few of these can go forward, including BEL AMIGO who landed a hat-trick in novice hurdles at this track last season and has solid claims of maintaining his perfect course record after a more encouraging third at Perth last month. Blue Fin made a winning reappearance in this race PLAY SMARTER last year and is expected to go well again off a break, while King Ulanda could be worth another chance on first start since wind surgery and may prove the beneficiary if the pace is strong.

TIMEFORMVIEW Jumping has left him down inthe past, but he has delivered sure-footed performances in winning back-to-back 23f Worcester handicaps (both on good ground) the last twice. If the renaissance continues he should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick, for all that this is more demanding.

It’s impossible to rule any of these out nor recommend any with wholehearted confidence.

YOUR OWN STORY didn’t exactly end last term on a high, but a reproduction of either of his efforts in staying handicaps at Kelso or his sixth-placed finish in the Welsh National would give him a PLAY SMARTER serious chance off this mark. Jet Legs’ profile is not entirely dissimilar and he is feared most, though Dare To Shout goes well fresh and also has claims, along with in-form veteran Almazhar Garde.
