4:23 Carlisle Tips

Blufferonthebus has been running into form recently, and was a decent second here last week. She has a lot in her favour here and can go one better this time.

Now drops to a pound below her last winning mark, albeit from 2024, but has shown signs in decent runs and had excuses last time. Down in grade here.

Both Blufferonthebus and Albeseeingya have good records at this track and set the standard on adjusted RPRs. They are both likely to be thereabouts, but preference is for the Charlie Johnston-trained Velvet Rhythm. She won her first two runs this season, starting with a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket. She is off the same mark as last time when she weakened in the final furlong, but this is almost half a furlong shorter. She is well drawn in stall 3 and should be able to dictate the pace. Rowan Scott has a good record for the stable (6-17 in the past five years), and at around 9/2 she rates a solid each-way Nap of the day.
