In-form chaser bids for back-to-back wins in Cartmel feature and progressive filly seeks four-timer at Ffos Las

Cartmel: Charlie out to defend valuable prize

A prize of £42,000 is on the line in the 2m5f handicap chase (4.30) and trainer Dianne Sayer hopes to take the lion's share of the winnings for a second year in succession with Charlie Uberalles. 

The nine-year-old produced a fine effort last year to land this under Danny McMenamin and the jockey gets the leg up once more in hopes of repeating the feat after an excellent prep run here last month, when he won by 15 lengths under Henry Brooke.

Charlie Uberalles takes on topweight Tommie Beau and the consistent Ilikedwayurthinkin off an official rating of 132. 

Sayer said: "He loves Cartmel and there's a lot to be said for that. We've got a bit more weight and Tommie Beau has beaten us historically. Things are a bit stronger than last time when it was his day. I think the softer ground didn't suit the others."

Cartmel: Jennie Candlish has great expectations for Dickens

The trainer has a 38 per cent strike-rate (6-16) over the last five seasons with handicap hurdlers at the course and saddles Dickens (3.15).

Ffos Las: is there even more to come from Tralee Girl?

Tralee Girl has hit the ground running this year for Michael Bell and the progressive filly aims for a four-timer in the 1m4f fillies' handicap (2.50).

After being placed in her two races as a juvenile, the Camelot filly has been a model of consistency this year, breaking her maiden at Catterick in April before following up at Windsor and Wolverhampton. 

She has climbed to an official rating of 75 but her mark could still underestimate her, given she earned a Racing Post Rating of 79 last time when winning by four lengths under Hector Crouch, who retains the ride. 

Bell said: "She's a progressive filly who has won her last three starts at Catterick, Windsor and Wolverhampton. She's bred to improve as the season goes on and she started from a relatively low mark of 66, so hopefully she's got plenty more wins in her."
