Newsboy's racing tips for Sunday's cards at Carlisle, Southwell and Thurles

MULBERRY HILL (1.35, nap) is fancied to build on a first win over fences at Kempton Park last month by landing the Secret Garden and GD’s Pooley Bridge Handicap Chase at Carlisle on Sunday.

Fergal O’Brien’s daughter of Califet made it third time lucky over the larger obstacles with a five and a-half length call from La Renommee.

And a 7lb rise in the handicap should not prevent another good account - particularly with apprentice Jack Hogan taking back 3lbs of that penalty.

At Thurles, enjoy yourself to the max by supporting FUN FUN FUN (2.00, nb) in the feature Listed EBF Irish Mares Hurdle.

Maestro trainer Willie Mullins has a tremendous record with his team of mares down through the years.

Carlisle Racecourse, where Newsboy's nap selection for Sunday, December 17 - Mulberry Hill - runs in the 1.35 (PA)

And Fun Fun Fun's current odds of 12-1 third favourite for the Mares' Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival will be slashed should she follow up a maiden hurdle win over the course and distance when she rattled home by seven and a half lengths.
