Carlisle, Chepstow and Leicester

The hottest race on a poor card at Carlisle is the mile handicap at 16.25 CET, qwhich features several runners with recent form, such as Motafarred (Micky Hammond/ Dean McKeown), an easy winner at Pontefract on Friday and now penalised 6 lbs, or Stoic Leader (Roger Fisher/ Royston Ffrench), third at Catterick on Saturday); copurse specialists Hula Ballew (Michael Dods/ Phillip Makin) and Grand Opera (Howard Johnson/ PJ McDonald) also come into the reckoning. At Cjhepstow and Leicester, the racing is even less inspiring. At the fomer track, Sirt Mark Precott´s Master of Arts (Seb Sanders) looks the best bet of the day in the 3yo miler handicap at 16.30. He showed much improved form to win over 7 furlongs on the all-weather last week and a repetition of that form whpould be enough for him to follow up here. Another winner last week who can score again today is Sylvester Kirk´s Opera Prince (Steve Drowne), who can take the 6 furlongs handicap for 3yo´s at 17.55 at Leicester. Michael Bell´s Brae Hill (Hayley Turner) gave a good debut at Newmarket recently and should win the 5 furlongs race for 2yo´s at 16.45 at the same track.
