3:45 Carlisle Tips

Four career runs for the 3yo filly, form 212-2. She was a good runner-up in a decent looking Listed contest three weeks ago - slow ground - easily having the measure of the rest. It was her first run for 7 months and she should improve. Only one serious rival in this weak looking Listed stakes.

In-form yard and jockey take control here with only one other favored horse in this pretty weak listed race. The selection has won at Newmarket and Yarmouth and could well get one here. Has won on good to firm and good to soft ground, so can be pretty versatile regarding the ground.

Anshoda was a bit down the pack in a G2 in Germany on the return from a break last month and may have needed the run. But she did win a G3 last August, and she might find today's listed run a tad easier now, second up.

Glamis Road could be worth a chance as she won a listed event last November on heavy ground. However, she was not so good last time out after a break when she only finished seventh on good to soft ground. I think the overnight rain, with more expected this morning, could bring her back in the money each way.

Backing Beaujolais Nouveau, the lightly raced and progressive 3-year-old Twilight Son filly trained by Ben Haslam, in today’s Irish Stallion Farms EBF Eternal Stakes (Listed, 6f 195y) at Carlisle. She arrives in solid form, having run a game second at Thirsk on 6 June, narrowly beaten (a neck) off a mark of 74??'her first run back this season. That effort showed she’s fit, sharp, and capable of more, and stepping up to Listed level will be a real test??'but one she’s clearly ready for. Though this is a highest-class assignment and she’ll be facing seasoned fillies such as Glamis Road and Saqqara Sands, Beaujolais Nouveau brings genuine upside. She’s fit and progressive, and off a modest mark of 76 she could outrun her price. With Jason Hart booked to ride, expect her to settle nicely before being delivered into the race late down Carlisle’s stiff home straight. At an estimated 50/1, she offers strong each-way value for those seeking a bold slice of potential in a quality listed field.
