Latest win at Ayr in August. 18/1, eleventh of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Runner-up off a 3 lb higher mark at Musselburgh in July and would be a danger to all if reproducing that level of form.

Good third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 28 days ago. Very much one to consider off the same mark.

14/1, 2¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Thaki in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Down another 1 lb but now 0-8 on turf and looks vulnerable.

Winner at Wetherby in May. Good second of 5 in handicap (10/11) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Perhaps worth another crack at this trip and should make his presence felt.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good) 20 days ago. Continues to slip down the weights but opposable all the same.

11/1
Two wins from 6 runs this year. 12/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. 7 lb rise demands another step forward but couldn't rule out in current form.

16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 62 days ago and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Yard also saddles Saleet.

Roshambo (10/3), Giselles Izzy (4/1), American Affair (11/2), Flash The Dash (17/2), Resilience (10/1), Spirit In My Soul (11/1), Mighty Power (12/1), Thaki (12/1), So Grateful (14/1), Havana Rum (16/1), Brother Sebastian (25/1), Saleet (33/1)

14:00 Carlisle - 1 September 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The vote goes to GISELLES IZZY, who is holding her form admirably well and she would have surely gone close but for encountering traffic problems when fourth at Catterick last time. Roshambo deserves to get her head back in front following a series of solid efforts in defeat this season and she is feared most. Resilience has slipped to a handy mark and is also shortlisted, along with the hat-trick seeking Spirit In My Soul.
