Carlisle Race 2 - David Allen 'Chasing Excellence' Beginners' Chase (Gbb Race)
TELLHERTHENAME (3) is of interest on chasing debut. Last seen finishing fifth in the G1 Aintree Hurdle during April. Lightly raced where latest win came January 2024. Respect down in grade. PUSH THE BUTTON (2) transferred stables during the Summer. Last seen finishing eighth in a handicap hurdle at Sandown Park after a respectable sixth attempting the Bridle Road Premier Handicap Hurdle. Interesting racing first-up over fences. RUBY ISLAND (4) won two starts back at Ayr before stepping up in trip to finish sixth at the same track. Potential on initial fences outing. MATCHLESS (1) is not discounted with previous chase experience.
