Steve Jones offers his each-way selections for Saturday's ITV racing, with a focus on Carlisle's quality card. Dark Cloud Rising (2.00) is tipped in the opening race, as the stiff uphill finish at Carlisle suits the gelding. Despite three uninspiring runs this year, excuses include a poor start at York and the absence of cheekpieces at Leicester. Now sporting a visor, he is well treated and trainer David O'Meara is in form. A 1pt each-way bet at 25-1 is advised, with Sky Bet paying five places.
In the Betway Silver Bowl (3.45), Inishbeg is expected to benefit from the step up in distance after a disappointing handicap debut at York where he went too hard from a wide draw. A more patient ride over nearly a mile should help, especially as he has learned to relax. Apprentice jockey Jack Nicholls, with three wins from nine rides for Kevin Ryan, takes the mount. A 1pt each-way bet at 14-1 is recommended, with five places offered by several firms.
At Beverley, Rollthedicebaby (2.15) is worth supporting in the Hilary Needler Trophy after a promising debut behind subsequent Listed runner-up Armor Supreme at Goodwood. The stiffer track should aid her progression. A 1pt each-way bet at 12-1 is suggested, with Sky Bet offering four places.
