The racing which takes place at Carlisle on Thursday should provide an accurate indication as to ground conditions for Friday but with rain in the forecast, it's probable that those declared to race will need to handle cut underfoot. Therefore, in a tricky looking opening juvenile contest, a real chance is taken on the Declan Carroll-trained newcomer
KILHAM who cost 62,000gns as a yearling (and was sired by Pivotal). Of those with previous form, either of
Dubai Station or
Hurstwood would appear to hold the strongest credentials.
