A big day for Carlisle, where the Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Chase (3.45) takes centre stage on Sunday and the runners have plenty to live up to as recent winners include Waiting Patiently and Many Clouds.

Mister Whitaker is perhaps the most high profile runner in the race as he won the novice handicap chase at the Cheltenham Festival, but Rene's Girl is well regarded by the prolific Dan Skelton, while Cyrname represents Paul Nicholls, a trainer who knows a thing or two about classy chasers.


Today's cards


Huntingdon also races in Britain, while Ireland's champion jumps trainer Willie Mullins has ten of the 20 runners in the feature handicap (3.00) on the Flat at Naas.

The other meeting in Ireland comes from Cork, where Mullins' main rival Gordon Elliott could have a say in the Paddy Power Cork Grand National(3.15).
