Pace & Draw Angles:Kempton 7f often favours those with tactical speed, especially from middle to low draws. Likely pace comes from Naina (can go forward), Lady Manzor (prominent/versatile), and Radiant Beauty (can race handy). A strong gallop isn’t guaranteed – looks more like an even/moderate tempo, so positioning will be key. Low-to-middle draws hold a…

Pace/Draw Angle: Bellewstown’s sharp track generally favours those racing prominently. No obvious confirmed trailblazers but Love At Sea has made the running before, while Mullins’ Adela Icon has been keen when dropped in and could be ridden forward with a hood. A muddling pace possible, suiting the handier types. Strongest Contenders Main Dangers Interesting Outsider…

Pace & Draw: Bellewstown’s tight track and short run-in put a premium on position. Likely pace from Shadow Paddy, Oh So Charming, and possibly Mercury Mission. A well-placed mid-div ride should be ideal.

Pace & Draw Angles Strongest Contenders Dickens (104, Jennie Candlish) – Progressive since joining the yard; has won twice at Hexham (including C&D) and then followed up at Cartmel under a penalty. Still unexposed at 2m, and the 5lb claim offsets his rise. Trainer’s strike rate here is strong. Solid. Little Soiree (102, Olly Williams)…

Race Shape & Pace Angles:Bellewstown’s sharp, undulating track puts emphasis on tactical speed as well as stamina. The 2m4f trip on good ground should favour a fluent jumper who can sit handy and travel. Likely pace comes from Jackson Lamb, Twentyfourcarrot and possibly The Man’s Room, all of whom have led/pressed previously. Could be an…

Pace & Draw:Catterick’s sharp 5f is all about early speed and track position. High numbers can sometimes be favoured if pace comes from the stands’ side, but with front-runners spread across the field, this could be run at a strong clip. Several habitual pace pushers (Jojo Rabbit, Rosenpur, Desert Champion if headgear sparks him, Hover…

Race Shape & Draw AnglesThis trip at Musselburgh often favours those who can travel kindly and quicken late rather than dour grinders. Pace on here from Trojan Sun (draw 1, usually handy) and potentially Lunar Power (draw 8, can force it). That could set up nicely for something ridden just off them. Low draws aren’t…

Race Shape & Draw Angles Catterick is a sharp 6f, often favouring pace and prominent racers. With several debutantes and inexperienced fillies, the early tempo could be even but not overly strong. Draw usually matters here – low to middle often best – so stalls 1–3 hold some advantage. Strongest Contenders Blue Nguru (Archie Watson…

Pace & Draw Set-Up:Musselburgh’s 7f start has a short run to the bend, so early track position is usually important. Low/middle draws can hold an advantage if able to get out and travel. Looking at the field: Expect an even to slightly strong pace, with the Johnston pair possibly ensuring it isn’t tactical. Strongest Contenders…
