Today's Horse Racing Tips: One tip for Carlisle on Sunday

I was delighted to see Guard Your Dreams (advised at 5/1) land the International Hurdle at Cheltenham yesterday for Sam and Nigel Twiston-Davies. A step back up in trip should see him win plenty more races.

There is one bet for today’s racing at Carlisle.

Carlisle Tip

14:10 – 3m1f Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (Pertemps Hurdle Series Qualifier) (Class 2)

This looks a good opportunity for BASS ROCK (NAP – 1 point win bet at 3/1) to register a third career success and continue his good form since switching to handicaps. This consistent five-year-old has made a bright start to his career and followed up his wins at Ayr and here at Carlisle with an excellent third at Haydock last time out. That came in Grade 3 company, so he drops back down in class today and remains fairly treated off a mark of 132. His Haydock run was also his first try at three miles and given that he finished well clear of the fourth-placed horse, it can’t be said that he didn’t stay. He was strong at the finish here over 2m4f back in October, so it is no surprise that connections have opted for another go over this sort of trip. Ryan Mania knows the horse well and keeps the ride. Captain Zebo, who has won five of his ten starts over hurdles, and Homme D’Un Soir, having his second start since leaving Denise Foster, complete the shortlist.
