Saqqara Sands lifts Eternal prize at Carlisle
Ralph Beckett's three-year-old pulled away to win by two and a half lengths at even-money to triumph for the first time at Listed level in the hands of Rossa Ryan. 'She's a lightly-raced filly and I think she'll improve as she gets up to a mile. You wouldn't know, but she might not be done yet,' Ryan told Racing TV. 'The rain-softened ground probably isn't her best ground, she's probably better on good ground. I just thought the last day at Epsom she was very green and it was her first run of the season so she was bound to come forward. I can see a bit more improvement to come.' Karl Burke and Clifford Lee completed a quickfire double in the Tattersalls £40,000 EBF Novice Stakes with Reciprocated landing odds of 10-11. The son of Havana Grey cost 450,000 guineas as a yearling and won impressively at Nottingham on debut, and he scooted home by four lengths despite drifting right across the course in the final furlong. Assistant trainer James Cowley said: 'He's turning out to be a real nice horse. He ran well at Nottingham and we knew he'd come on for the race and there was a lot of hype about other horses going into that race. He showed a good bit that day. 'We knew the slower ground here would be an advantage and he'll be a horse that stays further than this. He's come on a hell of a lot and he'll come on again for that today. He's got plenty of size and scope about him. This track would have brought out his best today, a good staying track.' The preceding race had seen Lam Yai put a disappointing debut behind her to make a big impression when winning the Racing Staff Week Maiden Stakes by two and three-quarter lengths. The Lucky Vega filly was last of eight runners on her racecourse bow at Thirsk, but this was a different story as she scored at 11-4. Cowley said: 'We were disappointed after Thirsk and scratching our heads a little bit. It was probably the quick ground that day and (on) this soft ground she definitely did what we thought she was capable of.' On The River came out on top in one of the closest finishes in the storied history of the AGMA 20 Years Of Franklin Ownership Carlisle Bell Handicap. The seven-furlong race, which was first contested in 1599, saw Harriet Bethell's 14-1 charge take the honours via a photo-finish, with David and Nicola Barron's Good Morning Alex beaten by a nose and Sailthisshipalone, trained by Richard Fahey, just another head behind in third. Ryan also celebrated a double after guiding Rogue Millions to a routine victory in the Stablemate By AGMA Cumberland Plate Handicap. James Owen's colt, who went off as the 11-8 favourite, looked comfortable when tracking the leaders before making his move with two furlongs to go as he secured his second straight success by four lengths. The in-form Jack Channon made it six winners from his last eight runners as Hot Cash struck late to win the Lady Dacre Bell Handicap. The 4-1 favourite timed his run to perfection along the rail to get up by half a length from Yermanthere. Blufferonthebus (7-2) came from back to front to land the concluding Ladies Night Sat 5th July Fillies' Handicap for Craig Lidster. Jockey Sam James remained patient in the six-furlong race before sweeping around the outside to challenge leader Orangesandlemons, pipping her to the line by half a length.

Horse racing tips: Wednesday, June 25
There's some cracking racing today with Carlisle hosting a valuable card, some good races at Salisbury and a Group 3 contest at Naas. Ron Wood has picked out a horse from Carlisle this afternoon and has a NAP selection from Kempton this evening. Ron Wood's selections Odds provided by William Hill and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a William Hill account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 4.15 Carlisle – Cumberland Plate Handicap (Class 4, 1m 3f) For some reason three-year-olds rarely contest the Cumberland Plate, but the sole runner from that age group won last year's race and there are two of the Classic generation here in ROGUE MILLIONS and Cayman Dancer. This season's renewal has attracted a field of only nine, which is disappointing for a £30,000 race – big money for a Class 4 handicap. Of the starters, Rogue Millions, who sneaks in off the ceiling rating of 87, is potentially just better than his rivals. He's still a work in progress and will need to settle to get this trip, but he's pretty talented, in line with his decent pedigree, most recently picking up well to win a Chepstow maiden. 5.30 Kempton – Class 6 Handicap (7f) NUTCRACKER (NAP) shaped way better than the bare result suggests when fifth on his handicap debut at Lingfield this month. He had been off for five months and the ground was testing, but having travelled well, he made a big move from the rear into contention, before tiring late. The selection ought to be better for that outing and gets a sharper test here, which is in his favour. If you want to find more odds and offers, take a look at our list of the best betting sites and free bets Today's UK and Irish racing (Flat unless stated) Worcester (NH) 2.03-5.05 Carlisle 2.15-5.25 Salisbury 2.25-5.35 Naas 5.10-8.10 Kempton 5.30-9.00 Bath 6.20-8.50 What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'. What is an each-way bet? An each-way bet is a popular type of wager, particularly with horse racing fans. It is essentially two bets, both of which have the same size stake. An each-way bet features one bet on the selection to win and the other bet on the selection to place. So a £10 each-way bet will cost you a total of £20. There will be one £10 bet on the selection to win and another £10 on the selection to place. It's a popular bet because it offers punters the chance of a return, even if the horse in question fails to win. Bookmakers will pay out at a stated percentage of the odds for a place finish, for example one-fifth of the starting price (SP) for finishing in the first three. The more runners there are in a horse race, the more places will be on offer. In races that feature lots of runners, the horses will be available at bigger odds, making an each-way bet a wise choice.

Rogue Supremacy subject to plenty of attention with Ascot looming
David O'Meara's youngster impressed when making all in his Wetherby debut, scorching clear of the opposition to give himself the options of the Coventry Stakes, Norfolk Stakes and Windsor Castle at the Royal meeting. 'We really, really like this horse, loads of people are trying to buy this horse and he could even be sold by the time we get to Ascot but I'm trying not to,' said Tony Elliott, founder of The Rogues Gallery. 'The jockey was more or less stood up with him the whole way at Wetherby and we don't know what we've got yet and that's the whole idea of going to Ascot. 'He's sharp and we don't know if he'll get the six furlongs, so it could be that we're looking at the five-furlong races over the Coventry. 'But I'll leave that with David O'Meara, he knows the horse and it's not really my decision, I leave it to the trainers. He'll be entered in three of the races and it's just a case of then picking the right one.' The son of St Mark's Basilica has courted plenty of attention since getting his sire off the mark last month, but at the moment the 'Rogues' are withstanding the pressure to sell the talented youngster, having already cashed in on the Paddy Twomey-trained Rogue Legend prior to Ascot. Rogue Legend transferred to the ownership of American John Stewart and his Resolute Racing operation for a fee rumoured to be seven figures, and Elliott admitted there is always plenty to consider when offers hit the table. He added: 'It's not all about selling because we want some nice ones ourselves and it's a tricky situation. However, we're not all multi-millionaires and sometimes you have to use your head rather than your heart ruling your head. 'People keep saying it must be a lovely position to be in, but it's difficult. We all want a bit of money, but at the same time we want those nice horses as well. Luckily enough we keep putting ourselves in this position and I do think we've plenty of cracking horses coming through of real quality.' Royal Ascot winner Rogue Millennium and crack sprinter Rogue Lightning were two others to excel for The Rogues Gallery before switching hands for £1.65million and £1million respectively at the sales, as the popular syndicate continues to source above-average operators. And Rogue Supremacy could be joined next week by James Owen's Rogue Millions, who is poised for the Golden Gates Handicap after readily accounting for some smart opposition at Chepstow recently. 'Rogue Millions will hopefully go to the Golden Gates and he could even be our best horse, he beat two really nice horses comfortably at Chepstow,' continued Elliott. 'We've got a lot of nice ones at the moment and everyone is buzzing, it couldn't be going better for us. I would say we're overachieving and I guess the person under pressure is me to keep finding them.'
