7th March news

Enemy At The Gate runs in the opener on Carlisle's Thursday card

Carlisle 7th March : 2.05 pm 2m 3½f 0-110 Cond'l Jockeys & Amateur Riders Handicap Hurdle (Class 4)

After being there with every chance over the last at Ayr last time (3 miles plus) but finishing only 5th , Enemy At The Gate drops back a few furlongs in this opener at Carlisle on Thursday.
Young Mr Edward (Ed) Vaughn - claims 5 - may be relatively inexperienced Under Rules but as befits someone yet to reach legal drinking age, he has ridden numerous winners in Pony Racing throughout the country and across the Irish Sea. And dare say some Point successes too.
He is the son of Vale of Glamorgan trainer Tim.

Lucinda's St. John's Road comes into this off an OR of 105 achieved in just a couple of novice hurdles over 2 miles. So, a Mark Prescott-esque approach here, and this Malinas mare looks to be a highly likely improver and could have her opponents toiling from 3 out.
Yealand is another improving type and is in form and could chase home St. John's Road.
