Thursday Double...

Carlisle 14:40 - Astarador
2m, Class 3 Novices' Chase - Soft

A winner just under 2 weeks ago over C&D and under similar ground conditions, Astarador is tipped to go in again. A smooth performance from pillar to post showed that the bay gelding has taken well to the larger obstacles and although carrying a penalty this afternoon it should not be enough to stop him. He kept good company in bumpers and over hurdles and with race fitness on his side and the stable on fire at present should account for a couple of interesting newcomers to the chasing game.

2ND

Carlisle 15:45 - Super Road Train
3m, Class 3 Handicap Chase - Soft

Previously tipped up by The Analyst the selection put up a gallant performance again over C&D last time out. Fancied last time to stay on better than his other rivals, Sue Smith's runner got going all too late and couldn't close the gap. With a run under his belt, conditions look ideal for Super Road Train to steam into the winner's enclosure today.
