KODIAS SANGARIUS was unfortunate to lose narrowly to the in-form Twelfth Knight at Windsor last time and is fancied to make amends at Carlisle.
The Richard Hannon-trained filly landed back-to-back all-weather races over the winter, but is clearly just as able on turf.
She finished strongly over the six-furlong trip and, despite losing her left-hind shoe, was beaten only a head by the upwardly mobile Archie Watson gelding.
My selection is likely to relish the extra furlong of today’s Longtown Fillies’ Handicap (4.30) and competes off an unchanged handicap mark.
On the Polytrack at Kempton, trainer Charlie Appleby could enjoy a happy ending with WESTERN WRITER (7.20).
Gelded after finishing sixth and second over a mile as a two-year-old, and fitted with a tongue tie, the three-year-old made a winning return to action over seven furlongs at Chelmsford, staying on well to beat Dukedom by half a length.
Now stepped back up to a mile for his handicap debut, he is sure to improve again and an opening handicap mark of 79 may underestimate him in the Unibet Support Safe Gambling Handicap.
