Carlisle — 27 August 2026

Class 5 · 1m1f · Good · 9 ran

Our bet: Sanafi Zabeel (9/4)

Won by: Jewel Maker (IRE) at 13/2 · then Up The Jazz (IRE), Sanafi Zabeel (FR)

What we said: Won last time out over course-and-trip on the same going (1/9 at 8.5f good), and the form line 933451 shows a horse building into peak form under Jim Goldie, who's in decent order (4-28 last 14 days). Same trip, same ground today removes any conditions doubt, and the personal-best rating strike rate (86%) backs up that this is a horse operating near its ceiling right now.

Class 3 · 5f182y · Good · 11 ran

Our bet: Prosperity Angel (9/2)

Won by: Blazing Inferno (IRE) at 11/2 · then Mehmas Star (IRE), Prosperity Angel (GB)

What we said: She's the only runner in this maiden with a win already on the board, scoring by holding off a full field of eleven at this same course and going, and the step up to today's trip is a natural progression for a sprint-bred filly who travelled well enough to beat that many rivals. The market backing her in significantly overnight adds a touch of confidence to a formline that already reads better than anything else in this race.

Class 4 · 7f173y · Good · 5 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Kanzi (15/8)

Won by: Bincimbal (IRE) at 9/4 · then Emerald Bay (IRE)

What we said: Three horses stack up close enough that nothing separates them cleanly: Kanzi won last time at essentially the same trip and looks the one to beat on form, but Ten Clarets carries the "423" placed profile with a big drop in class weight-for-rating concern removed, and Bincimbal arrives having won his latest start too — none of the three has untested ground clearly resolved in its favour, with both Kanzi and Bincimbal never having raced on good going. In a five-runner nursery this tightly bunched at the top of the market, there's no single case strong enough to back with conviction at the price on offer.

Class 4 · 5f182y · Good · 10 ran

Our bet: Town Queen (5/2)

Won by: Rikki Tiki Tavi (IRE) at 12/1 · then Rogue Attraction (IRE)

What we said: Form figures of 2-2-2-1 show a filly progressing nicely into this, and she's the only confirmed front-runner in the field with the quickest recorded pace figure, which should let her dictate over this stiff-finishing 5f182y trip. The 70-day layoff is a mild caution but her trainer has her fit enough to have won last time out, and the shape of this race looks to suit her running style more than any rival's.

Class 6 · 5f · Good · 14 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Harry Mole (7/2)

Won by: Royal Duke (GB) at 12/1 · then Cotai Starlight (IRE), Never Dark (GB)

What we said: A 14-runner Class 6 sprint handicap with at least four runners carrying genuine recent form claims — Harry Mole's string of 2-2-3-3 finishes, Crafty Spirit's 2-1-1-3 sequence, Never Dark's course experience, and Without Flaw's return to form with a last-time-out win — leaves no single horse standing clearly above the pack at its price, and this is exactly the kind of bunched sprint handicap that chews through selections.

Class 6 · 1m3f39y · Good · 10 ran

Our bet: Hansteen (2/1)

Won by: Dr Rio (FR) at 5/1 · then Taylormade Lad (IRE)

What we said: Consistent recent form reads 0-2-1-2-2, with two runner-up efforts and a win built into that sequence, and today's step down to around 11f from the 12f trip where he was last seen finishing second could sharpen him up further. He's also drawn to go with the race's fastest early pace figures alongside Taylormade Lad, giving him control up front if needed.

Class 6 · 1m3f39y · Good · 9 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Idyllic (5/2)

Won by: Farabove The Limit (IRE) at 17/2 · then Annandale (IRE), Hey Havana (IRE)

What we said: the write-up made a claim the racecard does not support, so this pick was withheld
