Carlisle Race 6 - Armstrong Watson Hcp
YELLOW DIAMONDS (2) left behind five disappointing efforts to finish runner-up contesting a 1200m handicap at Thirsk twelve days ago. Quickly turned out and may go one better. MAXIMUM VELOCITY (1) failed to convert two placed efforts into a win when fifth behind the top pick in the aforementioned handicap at Thirsk. Placed third at Doncaster and second at Leicester prior. Might return to the frame. KILMAC AIR (3) was third on penultimate start attempting a 1400m maiden at Cork before a sixth making handicap debut at The Curragh. Represents a new yard and could feature. HARES BREDTH (5) needs to provide more on the back of a sixth at Doncaster.
