Sunday’s Horse Racing Tips: Carlisle, December 17th

Today’s Horse Racing Tips – December 17th

There are four meetings in Britain and Ireland on Sunday, with NH fans in for a busy afternoon. They have Carlisle, Navan, Southwell and Thurles to get stuck into on eased ground, with some decent handicaps to solve at the Cumbrian venue in particular alongside a few potentially smart novices from the top northern yards.

Today’s Daily Nap

Fia Fuinidh

Carlisle 12:25 (UK time)

Martin Todhunter is a trainer to keep an eye on when the cash is down, and his unexposed chaser caught the eye under a quiet ride on his seasonal reappearance at Hexham last month. He remains open to plenty more improvement with that run under his belt, and this bigger field should make things into a suitable stamina test up the sapping Carlisle hill.

Odds: NA

Today’s Value Angle

Scipion

Carlisle 1:35 (UK time)

This fair northern handicapper had no chance on his return to the fray at Haydock last month (sent off 100/1 behind the impressive Grey Dawning), but should strip a good deal fitter for that pipe-opener and is in a much more suitable contest here. He has won 1 from 8 over fences so far, will relish the testing ground conditions, and is likely to get a positive ride from Sam Coltherd dropping back down to 2m4f.

Odds: NA

Odds are best odds available as at 2am December 17th 2023. Odds may now differ.
