To Carlisle on Thursday, March 10 and Planet Sport have no borderline tips from the border City. Maximilian can take the bumper with minimal fuss.

Planet Sport's Live Race Centre has the latest information on racing at Carlisle, including race cards.

Here's a quick reference list of Planet Sport's picks from Carlisle on Thursday, March 10.
Hurricane Dylan (13.00 Carlisle)

Barrowdale (13.35 Carlisle)

Upandatit (14.10 Carlisle)
She's A Rocca (14.45 Carlisle)
Ard Chris (15.20 Carlisle)

Malpas (15.55 Carlisle)

Maximilian (16.30 Carlisle)

And here's some more juciy details on Planet Sport's three main Carlisle choices.

13.35 Carlisle - Barrowdale

This Donald McCain runner can dig his way through the long range test of the Plough Novices' Hurdle.

A staggering 39 lengths winner at Uttoxeter last time out over two miles, seven and a half furlongs should mean that the step up in trip is handled with aplomb.

McCain and Brian Hughes are a top combination in the North and the addition of ownership by the Exors of the late Trevor Hemmings is another big tick.

15.55 Carlisle - Malpas

Sharing the same name as the legendary football Scottish player Maurice Malpas, this seven-year-old can score in the Watch Racing TV Now Novices' Hurdle.

Going the right way about another win, Donald McCain's Milan gelding finished a reasonable third last time out at Carlisle but boasts a win over course and distance in October of last year.
Again, Hughes is a top jockey booking and Malpas can convert in this weak contest.

16.30 Carlisle - Maximilian

Unbeaten in two career starts, Planet Sport's third Donald McCain pick of the day can put his winning experience to good use in the Carlisle Racecourse Open National Hunt Flat Race.

The only horse in this inexperienced field with a win to his name, Maximilian took a course and distance success as recently as February 7 and can follow up again.
Gavin Cromwell's Irish raider Western Walk may present a danger but Maxmilian can dispatch this one with the minimum fuss.
