6/4
Justified strong support to make a successful switch to handicaps in 5-runner event at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) 11 days ago. Return to this trip rates as a positive and he should go close again from 5 lb higher mark.

Point winner has showed modest form across 4 hurdles outings at Perth to date, though looked rather summed up by his mark when fifth of 9 in handicap (20.2f, good) 162 days ago.

6/1
Tumbled in the weights for this yard but was holding his own at this kind of level in summer 2022, running well to be second in a 6-runner handicap at Perth (23.9f, good, 7/1) when last seen. 16-month absence is a concern but he's a player if retaining all ability.

Winner over fences at Newcastle in late-2021 but seen only sparingly since, brushed aside quickly when last of 6 at Perth when last out. Goes back hurdling after 17-month absence.

Off the mark in emphatic fashion over fences at Market Rasen last October but little to write home about since, including when returned to this sphere at Aintree in June.

Well held on sole bumper outing and hasn't fared any better hurdling. Plenty more required now handicapping.

Limitations have long been exposed but he at least ran up to his recent best when fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) 81 days ago. Out of the handicap but may be able to reach the frame in a weak contest.

Forecasts

Hostile Hotelier (6/4), Begoodtoyourself (3/1), Living's Boy An Co (5/1), Barney Stinson (6/1), Dance Thief (11/1), Batman For Ever (16/1), Boyneside (20/1), Scots Gold (20/1), Gun Merchant (22/1)

14:45 Carlisle - 3 December 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A weak contest which should go the way of HOSTILE HOTELIER, who made a winning start in handicap company at Hexham last month and promises to find the extra couple of furlongs here to his benefit. Barney Stinson has been off the track for 16 months but would pose a serious threat if returning in top form, with the low-mileage Dance Thief a modest pick for third.
