1.10 Carlisle: Stride On
This bumper winner made an encouraging start to his career over hurdles when finishing second at Ayr last time out.
He went with enthusiasm that day on his first start for ten months, and only faded late on when the lack of a run, and the zest with which he raced, took its toll.
The five-year-old will improve for that experience and will be hard to beat in what looks a modest maiden hurdle.

2.13 Carlisle: Fostered Phil
Fostered Phil has shaped well on a number of occasions in defeat recently and, given he's been dropped 2lb for his latest run, he looks ready to strike in a modest handicap.
He was given too much to do in a slowly-run race at Ayr last time out, but ran on steadily in the closing stages. He is reunited with Danny McMenamin, who has got a good tune out of him in the past, and McMenamin has a 16 per cent strike-rate at Carlisle.

2.25 Navan: Binge Worthy
Binge Worthy is yet to match his hurdles form over fences, but he has shown an aptitude for the larger obstacles, and Jack Kennedy, who was the last jockey to win on him, takes over in the saddle again on Sunday.
He shaped well without ever getting involved in the race last time out under an inexperienced rider, and better can be expected now.
3.00 Navan: Onethreefivenotout
This could be another winner for the red-hot Gordon Elliott. Onethreefivenotout was going well when falling in a Listed Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse last time out, and he had jumped and travelled well up to that point on what was only his second start for this yard having left the Paul Nicholls team.
This could be a stepping stone to the Coral Welsh Grand National, which he holds an entry in.
