SMOKERINGINTHEDARK may not have been suited by the longer trip when fourth at Musselburgh last time and remains low mileage. He can get back on the winning trail. Lucinda Russell’s newcomer Spadestep must be taken seriously, particularly if the market vibes are strong, whilst Kadjar des Mottes should also go well.

Previous race trends (2015-24) can often help provide a shortlist of potential winners in the current year’s races. Hopefully these brief pointers will assist racegoers at Carlisle today. The figure in brackets after the race details is the favourite’s strike rate for the race Trainers who have won the race before and have an intended runner at the 5-day declaration stage are also highlighted.

3.00 - 2m 5f Novices’ Handicap Chase (11%): Only one winning favourite and two winning 2nd favourites seen to date with longest winner’s odds being 10/1. Since 2015 the highest weight carried by a winner in this race was11st 9lbs. Trainers To Watch: N Alexander (2 wins); V Williams (1 win).

TYSON MAGOO showed plenty of promise in novice company and there’s every chance he’ll be able to improve for the switch to handicaps, racing off what appears to be a fair opening mark. Course-winner Blue Fin disappointed last time but has been freshened up and may well bounce back, while the progressive Sayva is much respected in his bid for a hat-trick, although he may have some company for the lead on this occasion.

Donald McCain’s veteran MINELLA TRUMP should be all the better for his recent Bangor fourth after an absence so gets the nod ahead of recent point scorer Diable de Sivola. Saint Calvados would be a major player if on song but refused in a point recently which tempers enthusiasm.
