Carlisle 2.50

 

A few caught my eye in a very competitive field where you could make a case for all of them

 

Stella Blue is an unexposed 3 year old for Kevin Ryan, and Run This Way and White Umberella could easily outrun very generous Odds and were very closely considered, I'll have a £1 e/w saver on both of those at their early Odds but 3 stood out more for me.

 

ATOMISE looked to be returning to form last time, it has a wide draw here which I don't think is a negative if the better ground is Stands side as it can be with cut in the ground. GLORIOUS RIO is a course and distance winner off a declining mark and Stall 9 could be an ideal pitch. One I preferred to a couple of the others named at bigger prices is SHERDIL who really does catch my eye and jumped off the page a bit. It's 2 wins at Beverley over 5 furlongs last year off a mark of 63 both suggested a step up to 6 furlongs would be ideal and it has place form already at 6 furlongs, those wins took the mark north of 70 but its dropped back down to 65 with  3lbs Claim and I really am sweet on its chances here.
