Pushed for time to study today as had a death in the family of a senior member, which is very sad at any time but very poignant at this time of year :( . Just a couple of my top ten rated seasons trainers out at Carlisle, D McCain and O Murphy.

Carlisle (going forecast S with some GS showers) market odds from 11.35.

12.00 The Big Getaway 22 (9/4 mkt)
3.10 Nell's Bells 16 (17/2). This one looks like the box filler today.

1.05 Best Triton 22 (5/2 mkt)
2.10 The Worlds End 15 (10/1). Another possible box filler
 
Routine Monday racing and not really fare for punters IMO, more for the layers and connections. Top track trainer GL Moore has five runners although not on my trainers list for the season may be worth considering; 12.30 Systemic 10 (16/1), Flaherty 10 (125/1). 10, 1.00 Nassalam 20. 2.00 Eragon De Chanay 16 (9/4) 3.00 Guguss Collnges16.

Plumpton (going forecast GS with some S showers) market odds from 09.20.
