Carlisle Race 1 - Pauline Phizacklea Memorial Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
ROCKING MAN (1) was racing consistently with two wins and two runner-up finishes before pulling up in the G2 River Don Novices Hurdle. Markedly down in grade and may return to winning ways. THORNEYLANDS (7) lost out by 0.5L placing second on debut attempting a jumpers flat race at Newcastle before finishing sixth delivering initial hurdle outing over course and distance. Improvement expected. FOREVER LOUIE (4) bounced back from pulling up at this venue when placing second tackling track and trip in latest. May go one better. LOVING LOOK (9) is the pick of those making first appearance in a hurdle contest.

Racing second-up today. Freshened for 57 days. Resumed from a spell and failed to finish in a at Doncaster. At only start last preparation won by 3 len Chepstow on November 5 over 3900m defeating Carlenrig carrying 70.5kg at $1.80 in a hurdle. Fitter and should be right in the mix.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished tenth of 15 runners at Newcastle All Weather on January 15 over 3400m, 51 len behind Ronnie Russet carrying 70kg at $41 and before that finished fourth in a small field at Sedgefield on December 5 over 3400m, on slow going 7 len behind Grazeon Sunshine with 68.5kg at $12. Others make more appeal.
