Coral Racing Ambassador, Joe Tizzard, previews his three runners on Sunday as the team make the long trip north to Carlisle for their first ever appearance at the Cumbria track.

12:32 Carlisle (Sunday) – First Confession

First Confession has been schooling well at home, he was always a horse we were looking forward to going chasing with and this is a lovely place to start him off. I hope he is in for a big season, we can give him a nice introduction here and build from it.

13:02 Carlisle (Sunday) – Claim The Throne

Claim The Throne was progressive in bumpers last season, winning one at Exeter, and he’s had experience of jumping in his point-to-points. I do think he’ll improve with racing, but equally I think he has the ability to run well in a race like this now.

14:02 Carlisle (Sunday) – Hartington

Hartington is a horse I like, I think he’s well-handicapped off the back of a good second at Windsor last season and this is his trip. It’s a decent pot up for grabs, but I think he has a really good chance of picking up place money at least.
