Carlisle Placepot tips: Graeme Rodway with his selections for a £50,000 guaranteed pool

The Tote's £50,000 Placepot guarantee moves on to Carlisle on Sunday and it will be a surprise if Cristal D'Estruval is out of the first three in the opener (12.10). He is sure to be long odds-on after winning on his debut at Warwick last month and should be a class apart.

The 2m3½f handicap hurdle (12.40) comes up next and the in-form Drop Kick should be picked here. He has recent course-and-distance form and can be trusted as a banker.

There are eight declared for the 2m3½f maiden hurdle (1.10) and it is another race for a banker provided they all line up. U S Marshall made a promising hurdles debut over 2m at Uttoxeter last month and can step up over an extra three-and-a-half furlongs at this stiff track.

The 3m1f handicap hurdle (1.40) requires more coverage with only two places available. The Irish raider Letos should run well and goes in alongside the unnamed favourite and Nab Wood. If one of those two is favourite then we will double our lines, so there is no downside.

The 2m1f handicap hurdle (2.13) might be between Gone With The Tide and Platin Moon, while the 2m1f bumper (2.48) looks like a match, so include Sapphos Word and Capricciose.
