Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Caughtinyourtrance gets the vote at Carlisle over this marathon 26f trip, rated 130 by us and just 4 lb behind the top-rated Egbert, a gap that fitness can plausibly bridge. Our view is that he arrives the sharper of the leading group, and that edge matters in a stamina test where the principals are closely matched. Egbert is the obvious danger on 134, while Guard The Moon and Fortunate Man share the same 130 figure and cannot be dismissed, with Grozni only a pound back. This is a competitive contest and confidence is low, but Caughtinyourtrance is our selection.

Guard The Moon won two starts back and four starts back, so two wins in his last four shows plenty of ability, and our rating of 130 ranks him second of eight. The risk is a 236-day absence, plus he was pulled up last time out.

Egbert won three starts back and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 134 ranks him top of eight and sits above his official 130 under 163 lb. The risk is a poor recent line of two pulled-up efforts and 200 days off.

Caughtinyourtrance has been in the frame in all six recent runs, with a second last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back and four starts back, and he has run over today's trip. Carrying 160 lb after 39 days off is the only question, but our rating of 130 backs the case.

Grozni won two starts back before a fourth last time out, and he has run over today's trip, but 273 days off the track is a concern, as is a hefty 159 lb. Our rating of 129 puts him fifth of eight, so he looks midfield at best.

Fortunate Man has been consistent, finishing fourth last time out and fourth again two starts back, with a third four starts back and a win five starts back, while he has run over today's trip and his yard is in form. The risk is a 183-day absence, and carrying 159 lb doesn't help.

Hard to fancy on our figures, ranked last of eight, yet he arrives in cracking heart: a winner last time out, and a second three starts back, with two more seconds in that run, fresh after 14 days. He carries 145 lb, and a mark of 112 looks the obstacle.

N. W. Alexander 1/19
Orkney Blue returns after 211 days off, a big concern, though he finished third last time out, and another third two starts back, with a win three starts back, so the form isn't bad. Carrying 142 lb and ranked seventh of eight on our figures, he is hard to fancy.
