ON what turned into a very profitable afternoon for those following Irish raiders, there were three more winners on the Sunday card at Carlisle.

Dickie Johnson, still on a high after Native River’s impeccable display, won the 188bet novices’ hurdle for John McConnell on Pearl Of The West (2/1) and soon followed up on Stuart Crawford’s 6/1 chance Apache Jack, easy winner of the same firm’s handicap hurdle. No stranger to these shores, Crawford also won the bumper with Dr Sanderson, 3/1, in the hands of Brian Hughes.
