Pace/Draw Setup:Ripon’s mile can favour a handy position if the field doesn’t go overly hard. With Garden Oasis a likely front-runner and Capital Guarantee/Barley sitting just behind, we should get an even pace. Stalls 1–4 often enjoy a slight edge here, especially if breaking well. Strongest Contenders Capital Guarantee – Proven / Progressive Leadenhall –…

Pace & Draw Cartmel over staying trips can be very tactical – the sharp turns reward those with handy positions, while closers often need luck. With Saint Bibiana, Pounding Poet, Minella Rescue and Caughtinyourtrance all preferring to race handily, we may get an even-to-strong pace. That should set up well for something sitting just off…

Pace & Draw:Likely an even-to-solid gallop. Al Shaham has made all at Ripon, but Amorim can track, and a few of the fillies (Lam Yai, Temple Of Athena) race handily too. With only seven runners, the draw is less significant, though low/mid stalls have traditionally helped over 6f here. Strongest Contenders Al Shaham (Simon &…

Pace / Draw Angles: Strongest Contenders Main Dangers Interesting Outsiders Runner Scores (Suitability out of 10) Private Tissue (Fair Odds) Each-Way Angles With 16 runners and 4 places on offer, Onslow Gardens (around 7/1) makes strong EW sense – a maiden but has shaped better than bare results, and unlucky not to win last time.…

Pace / Draw Angles:Cartmel is one of the most pace-favouring tracks in Britain – prominent racers and those with course form often have an edge, especially over intermediate trips like 2m6f. With Evenwood Sonofagun, City Derby, and Secret Secret all having made the running here before, there should be an honest to strong pace. Hold-up…

Pace looks genuine, suiting stalkers. Epsom C&D specialists usually…

Pace & Draw Angles:Cartmel is a quirky, sharp track with a long run-in. Juvenile hurdles here can become messy if the pace collapses, but with Dignam a smooth-travelling type and Junkyard Dog having raced prominently before, this shouldn’t be a crawl. Expect a sensible gallop, with stamina at the trip still a question for a…

Going: Good | Field: 9 runners | Stalls: Stands’ side Pace & Draw Ripon’s straight 6f can reward front-runners if they grab the rail, but it often plays fair when the pace is honest. Here: Draw looks balanced, no major bias, though low-to-middle often has an edge in bigger fields. Strongest Contenders Main Dangers Outsiders…
