Clitheroe has chance at Carlisle

Clitheroe can turn the tables on Snooze N You Lose in the British Stallion Studs EBF Eternal Stakes at Carlisle.

The pair met in a similar race at Musselburgh when Karl Burke’s Snooze N You Lose made every yard of the running for a comfortable success.

However, David Simcock’s Clitheroe was stone last turning into the straight and faced an impossible task with three furlongs to run while Burke’s filly dictated at the head of affairs and quickened away.

Clitheroe made eyecatching progress and even suffered trouble in running, so to get as close as she did suggests she has a fair engine.

She was thrown into Group Three company on just her second ever start, despite not winning on her debut, so she has clearly always been highly regarded.

Being owned by breeders, black type is the aim and while she did get it last time, there is every chance, with a 3lb pull at the weights, that this time Clitheroe can get a very valuable Listed win.

Makeen can continue his progression for Julie Camacho by winning the historic Stablemate By Agma Carlisle Bell Handicap.

Winner of two of his last three outings, including at Carlisle last time out, he appears to be a five-yearold going places.

The ex-Richard Hannon inmate is now up to a career-high mark of 82 but he won with plenty in hand on his latest start and looks sure to be suited going back up to a mile.

Camacho could even double up in the Atkinson Building Contractors Cumberland Plate Handicap with Shake A Leg.

The frontrunner just held on at Ripon and while it might be tougher to make all in this, he looks sure to run his race once more.

Cuban Rock has a first run for Jim Goldie in the Scaleby Restricted Maiden Stakes since leaving Gemma Tutty.

A fine second on his second start to Explicit, that form has been franked by the winner who bolted up at York in a valuable seller. Cuban Rock was claimed for £15,000 and it could prove a shrewd move.
