The 2026 renewal of the Carlisle Bell can go the way of ALTAREQ (4) as one of few contenders who still seem on an upward trajectory. Underwhelmed at York most recently but made a pleasing start for this yard on two previous outings. Leading claims with Paul Mulrennan taking over in the saddle. PRIAPOS (5) warmed up for this with a 1. 5L course and distance success last month. Should be primed well for this assignment. Key player. CANVAS (6) holds few secrets from the handicapper but recorded a good fourth on reappearance (1m). Can go well with that run behind him. GLENFINNAN (7) and FINANCER (16) are others who warrant stern consideration both with the headgear switched.
