    Trying something a little different today, with 4 runners in a Lucky 15.

    All 4 horses won or were runners up on the respective card last year.
    Interestingly, all also ridden by claimers today, possibly trainers trying to eek out every bit of advantage they can at the weights?

    TADAAWOL 3:15 Carlisle @ 10/3- One of 2 Roger Fell winners on this card last year. Horse is 2 wins from 3 runs at Carlisle.
    Ran just 2 days ago. Run prior to that was a noteworthy one at the Chester meeting the other week. Ben Sanderson claims 3lbs.

    MERRY BANTER 4:05 Redcar @ 9/2 - 2nd in this race last year under Paul Mulrennan. 6lbs higher mark today, but Ben Robinson claims 3lbs, and has 1 win from 1 ride on the horse.
    Only CD winner in field. Course record reads 2-2-7-1.

    LA SIOUX 4:35 Redcar @ 4/1 - Won the race last year off a mark of 60. Races off 64 today, but Seb Woods takes off 5lbs.
    Impressive winner LTO finishing off very cosily at Musselburgh.

    KNOWING GLANCE 5:45 Carlisle @ 11/4 - Won over C&D on the card last year off a mrk of 69. Racing off 72 today, with Sean Davis Claiming 5lbs. Recenty beaten a short head on seasonal reappearance.
    Fahey has had 2 winners at this meeting in each of the past two years.

    Also worth noting at bigger prices....

    ZORAVAN 5:45 Carlisle @ 12/1 - Opposes Knowing Glance (above).
    Dalgleish stable absolutely on fire.
    Was runner up in Division 1 of this race last year off a 3lbs higher mark. Fanning onboard.
    May just need the run for first run since October.

    REDROSEZORRO 2:45 Carlisle @ 25/1
    2nd on the card last year for Eric Alston.
    Off a 2lb lower mark today, and back to 6 furlongs.
    Rob Dodsworth takes 7lbs off, and won on his only ride on the horse. Is also 2/6 for the Alston stable.
    Probably needs softer ground to be honest, but on a nice mark and big price for a horse who won 3 times last year, and in big fields. Has a record of 2 wins and a 2nd in 14 runner fields (as today)

    Finally, always worth watching Ben Curtis rides at Carlisle. He has a phenomenal strike rate at the course.

    Top quality as always. 2 winners on lucky 15 and the two biggies both placed, would have made a nice e/w double. Well done.
