Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Harry Skelton · Dan Skelton
✓ Trainer in form (17/80, 14 days) ✓ Back from a 183-day break
Fishery Lane is our selection at Carlisle, and he gets the nod over We're Red And Blue on the strength of a progressive profile and a proven record on these conditions, with just a pound separating the pair on our figures. That makes We're Red And Blue the chief danger, as he is narrowly ahead on rating, while Joltin N Jiving and Walking On A Dream are also capable of making the frame in a compact five-runner field. Over this marathon trip, Fishery Lane's progressive profile and proven suitability can be enough to edge a tight contest, though confidence is only modest. Fishery Lane is the pick.

Fishery Lane was second last time out and has been in the frame in three of his last five, with a fourth and a fall in between, and he has run over today's trip. A 183-day absence is the one reservation, though our figures rank him second of five.

Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill 8/28
Three straight top-three finishes before an unplaced latest run, including a second two starts back, underline his consistency, and he carries 159 lb with a trainer in form (8/28 in the last 14 days). The main risk is a 187-day absence, which raises doubts over fitness.

Walking On A Dream arrives in cracking form, second last time out and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip before. The one concern is a 193-day absence, so fitness is the question under 152 lb.

Joltin N Jiving has shown fair form in places, with a second five starts back and another second two runs ago, and he was fourth last time out; he has run over today's trip and our rating of 121 ranks him third of five. The main risk is a 150-day layoff, with 151 lb to carry and yet to win in his last five starts.

Patrick's Wells showed some promise with thirds last time out and two starts back, but he returns after 197 days off and carries 149 lb off an official mark of 115. Our rating has him ranked last of five, so he is hard to fancy.
