Handstands can return to victory at Carlisle

Handstands can spring into action to take the Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Chase at Carlisle.

- 

Ben Pauling’s six-year-old was three times a winner last season, taking a string of novices chases culminating in the Grade One Scilly Isles at Sandown.

Out of the novice ranks this term he is getting his season under way at Carlisle, contesting the Listed Colin Parker over the two-and-a-half-mile trip he was so successful over last term.

He faces four rivals on his seasonal debut, and although he seems to be seen to best effect on softer ground he still has form on good from earlier on in his career.
