Our friends at Tipstrr landed us winners at 33/1 and 8/1 on Friday, so we’re looking forward to seeing what their most widely-tipped horse of the day will produce at Carlisle on Saturday afternoon.

If the bookies’ early calcualtions are a reliable benchmark, then we look set for a two-horse contest between market leaders Enemy At The Gate and Clovis Island, both of whom are available at a best-price 5/2 at the time of writing, with both holding obvious claims here.
Arctic Mann and Shantou Moon are expecting to vie for the minor places, but of the four remaining runners, all available at double-digit odds, it is the unfancied Schalke who has created a significant buzz in the Tipstrr camp.

Winless since a success at Kelso in December 2022, Rebecca Menzies’ nine-year-old has done little in his seven subsequent outings to suggest a return to winning form is imminent, not least his two recent outings over at Haydock in February and most recently just ten days ago, when he finished eighth of nine.
A positive outcome to emerge from those results is the drop in weights that has brought his mark down to a two-year low and four pounds lower than when he last crossed the line first.
The capable Nathan Moscrop is entrusted with the reins, and if he can coax a smooth clear round out of the mare, then she might justify her support on Tipstrr and reward a cautious each-way play here.
