All today's tips ›Parisencore No. 1
Danny McMenamin · Nicky Richards
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Parisencore gets the nod in this three-runner staying contest at Carlisle, rated 126 on our figures and narrowly ahead of Dubai Days on 125, so the margin is a slim one. Over 20 furlongs that small edge should count for something, and he looks the one to beat on merit. Dubai Days is the chief danger, just a pound behind and well capable of turning it around, while Hello Judge, on 119, needs to improve to get involved. Parisencore is the selection.
Runners
Danny McMenamin
Nicky Richards 4/12
Parisencore is the one to beat after winning last time out, with a third two starts back and a second four starts back also in his recent form, and he has run over today's trip. Carrying 168 lb is the only notable reservation, though our rating still ranks him top of three.

N. W. Alexander 2/18
Dubai Days is a leading threat, a winner four starts back who has been fifth in each of his last two and returns fresh after 25 days, with experience of today's trip and our rating of 125 ranking him second of three. The main risk is the 161 lb he must carry, with no win in his last three outings.

Hello Judge arrives in good heart after a second last time out, just 18 days ago, and he has run over today's trip before. The risk is consistency, with a pulled up three starts back and 159 lb to carry.
