Pace & Draw Angles:York’s 1m6f start allows a decent run before the turn, but a middle-to-low draw is usually ideal. This looks a strongly run race – French Master, Almosh’her, Subsequent, and Shadow Dance can all race prominently, while Mullins’ pair (Hipop De Loire / Ethical Diamond) and stayers like Kihavah and Onesmoothoperator are likely…

Race Shape & Draw:Five-runner Group 2 over 7f. Pace looks even-to-steady: Geryon showed early speed when winning maiden, Go Just Do It raced prominently, while A Boy Named Susie and Constitution River both shaped like strong travellers who can sit handy before finishing off well. With only five runners, no major draw bias. Strongest Contenders…

A high-value maiden for well-bred fillies, most of them unexposed. This track/trip demands balance as Goodwood can catch inexperienced horses, especially those ridden cold. Likely even-to-steady pace: Vronti and possibly Made U Blush can go forward, others will be held up. Draw not usually crucial at 1m2f here, though inside can help in tactical races.…

Pace & Draw Large 20-runner field. Newmarket July 6f straight can favour middle-to-far side draws when the ground is fast. Strong pace likely: Sands Of Spain, Kesta, Sioux Perfect all tend to go forward. Expect a genuine test with closers needing a clear run. Leading Contenders Sands Of Spain (Andrew Balding, Draw 20) – Proven…

Pace / Draw Angles:Likely to be a steadily-run race unless Heather or Party Dress go forward. Oriole, Shaool and Beauparc are usually ridden patiently, so there’s a risk of a muddling tempo. Draw looks neutral over 1m4f at the Curragh, but low to middle tends to offer tracking options. Strongest Contenders Heather (OR 90, Lyons,…

A high-quality 0–105 middle-distance handicap, often run at a strong clip with Goodwood’s downhill run-in favouring well-balanced types who travel. Pace Shape: Draw: Stalls 1–4 historically hold an edge at this trip; extreme wide draws are a negative.

Race Setup & Pace:Nine declared, standard July mile with a slight climb. No obvious trailblazer – expect a steady-to-even gallop. That should play into the hands of handy or patiently-ridden types with a turn of foot. Draw not a major factor on this straight mile unless pace is isolated, though Louie The Legend (1) and…
