Alan Dudman is off to Carlisle for their big meeting of the year and is playing on an each-way 87/1 Sportsbook double...

"The move to 7f looks interesting considering she has pace, and like quite a few of Easterby's this term she might have needed the run on her reappearance last time out."

Back Atomic Lady @ 11.010/1 in the 15:55 at Carlisle

Triton the each-way pick for Bell success

Back King Triton @ 8.07/1 in the 14:55 at Carlisle

No. 4 (1)

King Triton (Ire)

Trainer: Grant Tuer
Jockey: Sam James
Age: 4
Weight: 9st 10lbs
OR: 82

The Carlisle Bell was first run in 1599, thus making the Bell the oldest sporting trophy in the world. And following a quiet spell for the column, that year feels like my last winner.

Tim Easterby, David O'Meara, Mark Johnston and Roger Fell have all lifted the prize in recent seasons and are represented again, but King Triton has the potential to win a race of this nature if he can bounce back after a poor effort last time. If he wins, it would be his trainer Grant Tuer's first in this.

For a 4yo, he's only raced six times and with the poor run at Hamilton last time, there could be the possibility of the run coming too soon off the back of a good reappearance. He didn't race as a juvenile when trained by Roger Varian, and did have two spaces of 58 and 66 days in his relatively light campaign last term.

The stand-out is the horse's pedigree as his dam is a half-sister to the great Dubawi and a relation to Emirates Queen and Princess Naja as she was bred and formerly owned by Sheikh Obaid. New owner Ed Ware did pay £100,000, and the horse still has some unfinished business.

His two most interesting runs were last term; and arguably on the scorchio side of things was his third at York behind a 95-rated winner who was subsequently sold to Hong Kong, while the second that day is now rated in the 100s. Even the sixth Royal Fleet is now a 109 horse. King Triton does look off a very good mark of 82, which is 3lb lower than last time.

He was also unlucky at Thirsk last year, and with a good draw today and quick ground from stall 1, I am hoping he can bounce back as he has the pedigree for a 1m2f, so a taxing 1m at pace should be ideal.

This is also an Extra Place Special on the Sportsbook.

Atomic to get back on track in Eternal

Back Atomic Lady @ 11.010/1 in the 15:55 at Carlisle

No. 4 (11)

Atomic Lady (Fr)

Trainer: Tim Easterby
Jockey: David Allan
Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
OR: -

The Listed Eternal Stakes has gone to some good fillies in recent years and today's renewal looks a good race for the three-year-olds. There's a 104 rated runner and plenty of progressive contenders and Atomic Lady has a chance to build on a promising juvenile campaign for Tim Easterby.

She ran in the Listed Champion 2yo race at Ripon last term with a creditable and slightly unlucky third in meeting trouble behind the very smart Flotus. That horse (Flotus) made the running that day at a good pace and was away from all the trouble, and has turned out to be a quality horse - running placed in a pair of Group 1s, including Royal Ascot last week in the Commonwealth Cup.

Atomic Lady is pretty zippy herself and ran some fine races at York last term with a second in a valuable sales contest and a win on the Knavesmire too - showing her pace with a pair of sub 11 second furlongs including a 10.78.

The move to 7f looks interesting considering she has pace, and like quite a few of Easterby's this term she might have needed the run on her reappearance last time out.

She could be better than a 90-rated filly.
