SportNewsboy fancies his Nap, Geo, to win at Carlisle andis also banking on Silesia to score on the same card and complete his Daily Double12:49, 23 Jun 2026THE booking of top jockey Tom Marquand for GEO (3.30, Nap) could prove significant in the Lady Dacre Bell Handicap at Carlisle – the UK's only meeting being staged on Wednesday. The progressive four-year-old filly, trained by Jim Goldie, was beaten only by a neck at Hamilton last time out. Always travelling well under Paul Mulrennan, the daughter of Mehmas went clear with Bearing Up inside the final furlong but, after a sustained duel, had to settle for second.‌The filly finished three and a quarter lengths ahead of the rest of the field and with the assistance of Marquand in the saddle this time, could take a lot of beating.‌‌Earlier on the card, a reproduction of her third place in the Hilary Needler at Beverley last month should give SILESIA (2.30, nb)every chance in the Bet Smarter With Oddschecker+ EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes. The Kevin Ryan-trained juvenile has not been out of the first three in all three of her outings so far – all over five furlongs – but has improved each time and should be more suited to Wednesday's trip over six furlongs.WEDNESDAY'S SELECTIONSCARLISLE‌2.00 IN THE BLACK2.30 SILESIA (NB)3.00 PLATINUM FORCE‌3.30 GEO (NAP)4.02 ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY4.35 PRIAPOSArticle continues below5.05 WINE DARK SEA5.35 SHUSHUChoose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Carlisle Racecourse
