Pace & Draw:Beverley’s stiff finish places emphasis on stamina, especially at this trip. Low-to-middle draws (stalls 1–4) are traditionally favoured when the pace is solid, which looks likely here with several who like to sit handy. Expect a fair tempo – not a burn-up, but enough to test doubtful stayers. Strongest Contenders Main Dangers Interesting…

Pace / Draw Angles:With just six runners, this shouldn’t be overly tactical, but Goodwood’s sharp mile and centre stalls mean positioning still matters. Ancient Egypt (prominent Beverley winner) and King’s Trust (pressed on debut) look natural pace influences. Green Falcon has been finishing off strongly and will likely be played late. No obvious draw bias…

Pace / Draw Angles:A big-field 21-runner sprint over 5f. Historically at Naas the stands’ side (high numbers) can hold an edge in sprints. Recent meeting here showed the bias, with low-drawn runners disadvantaged when gravitating away from the pace. Expect a strong gallop: several habitual front-runners (Step Back In Time, Ballysax Lil’ Mick, An Laochmor)…

Pace & Draw:Stalls centre. With several prominent types (Persica, Ice Max, Make Me King) this should be run at an honest pace. Goodwood’s mile is sharp, so position matters – low to middle draws (1–4) typically favoured if the field goes forward.

Pace & Draw:Plenty of pace angles here – Lady With The Lamp, Gutsy Girl, Miss Attitude all like to force or sit prominently, while Sky Majesty has shown versatility but won’t want to be shuffled back. Pace should be strong. Draw looks fairly neutral at Naas 6f, but inside to middle has historically been no…

Pace / Draw Angles:Yarmouth’s straight 5f can favour pace drawn middle-to-far side when ground is fast. No obvious front-runners here bar Rocking Ends (habitually prominent) and possibly Diomed Duke. A likely even pace rather than burn-up, which should help those sitting just off the speed. Low draws (1–3) can be slightly vulnerable if pace collapses…

Going: Good to Firm | Field: 9 runners | Pace shape: Likely strong – several prominent racers (Miss Yechance, Gaga Mate, Chairmanfourtimes) could force it, with U Turn also going forward. That sets up for something stalking just off the speed.Draw: Beverley 5f is notoriously draw-sensitive. Low numbers by the inside rail have the edge…
