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 & Draw Angles Leading Contenders Proven / Progressive / Promising Profiles Main Dangers & Interesting Outsiders Runner Ratings (Suitability /10) Private Tissue (fair odds) Summary A strong handicap where the progressive 3yos (Aurora Majesty, Competizione) meet solid 4yo handicappers (Crimson Spirit, Partisan Hero, Bell Shot). 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…

Pace / Draw Angles:No out-and-out front-runner here, so pace may be muddling unless something makes it. Star Harbour has gone forward in the past but more often tracks leaders. Reyenzi, Cap Saint Martin, and Molto Amichi likely to be mid-div. Spoken Truth and Tashir can be dropped in. With a small field and fair draw…

Pace & Draw Likely to be an honest pace with Enpassant (prefers handy) and Shaws Phoenix (often prominent) drawn middle-to-high. Triggered and Clasina should be mid-division, while Oh So Audacious and Rusheen Boy are typically held up. With the stalls in the centre, no major draw bias, though handy types often fare well here. Strongest…

Pace & Draw Beverley’s 1m4f trip (round course) can be tactical, often favouring those ridden handy. Dr Rio and Princess Niyla are natural pace pressers, while Twilight Moon and Percy’s Daydream are more likely to be held up/mid-div. Draw is not a major factor at this trip, though inside stalls can help a front-runner control…

Pace & Draw Setup:Small field of six, and this trip at Goodwood tends to favour those handy. Forever Penywern and Arkinthestars are natural pace angles, with Ocean Of Dreams likely sitting just behind them. Wise Counsellor tends to be ridden further back, while Nanny Park has hung under pressure so a smooth trip is not…

Pace & Draw Angles:No obvious front-runner – could be a steadily run race. Inside/mid draws usually a help over this trip at Naas, especially if pace is muddling. High numbers (e.g. Complete Fiction in 14, Lady Plimsoll in 16) risk covering extra ground. Strongest Contenders Elusive Duke – Proven/Progressive (9/2)Leopardstown winner (9f, good) and unlucky…
