Carlisle Race 2 - Grandad Bill Whinnow EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
CALL NICKI (6) has shaped promisingly in a pair of maidens at Thirsk over this distance. Latterly coming home 1.5L third a fortnight ago and can continue the upward curve. TAMAM STAR (2) was a disappointing favourite when just ahead of the main selection earlier this month. That rival raced greenly and didn't have the benefit of a run so is entitled to turn placings around. Fancied nonetheless. AODHAN (3) makes for most appeal of the three newcomers. Already gelded and a son of Caturra from a stable who has enjoyed a good start with their juveniles. MAY BEE IN PROFIT (8) placed past two outings and makes each way appeal.

First-starter by Saxon Warrior out of Rosie Scot. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.
