AI Top 3 Picks

P1 pick35%

Raft Up (IRE)

J: Ethan Tindall · T: H Bethell

Comes into this race on a hat-trick after two impressive wins on the All-Weather. While stepping up in class and switching to turf, his current thriving form suggests he can handle the challenge.

P2 pick28%

Magic Boy (GER)

J: Faye McManoman · T: N Tinkler

Returns from a layoff but ended last season with a win and drops back into Class 5. Trainer N Tinkler is in good form, and the stiff 6f at Carlisle should suit his stamina.

P3 pick22%

Ran Amok (IRE)

J: Jack Nicholls · T: H Palmer

Drops back to Class 5 where he has won previously over 6f. Jockey Jack Nicholls is in excellent form, which could help overcome the long layoff.
