There's jumps action at Carlisle on Thursday

"Poker School's runner-up effort on last week's handicap debut at Doncaster appeals as strong form for the grade, so he's well worth siding with from an unchanged mark."

Timeform's SmartPlays team pick out three bets from Carlisle on Thursday.

Marlee Mourinho - 14:35 Carlisle

A punt is taken on Marlee Mourinho, who has improved for the switch to fences, and found only one too good at Newcastle last time. Whiskey Chaser looked set to go close before falling at Leicester last month and is feared, with Vasco d'Ycy also expected to do better at some stage.

Wolf Sword - 15:10 Carlisle

Wolf Sword ran to a level more in keeping with his winning bumper form when runner-up on second hurdles start at Wetherby last month, and in receipt of 7 lb from obvious-danger Grove Silver, is taken to go one better. Alphabet Bay is capable of better at some stage, too.

Poker School - 16:15 Carlisle

Poker School's runner-up effort on last week's handicap debut at Doncaster appeals as strong form for the grade, so he's well worth siding with from an unchanged mark. Tuesday's Exeter winner Greybougg has to command respect turned out quickly and unpenalised, with Astrum best of the remainder.
