Pace Angles & Draw Angles: This maiden has several likely pressers and trackers, notably Josh’s Joy, Smexy, and Thenandnow who were ridden forward on debut. Struck By Her and Baahyeh are likely to be held up. Draw bias is neutral at this trip on decent ground at Leopardstown. However, wider draws (especially stalls 11–13) can…

Pace Angles & Draw Angles:An even-to-strong gallop looks likely. Command The Stars, Just A Girl, Hey Tru Blue, and Champion Island have all led or pressed, while others like Ballistic Missile, Daydreama, and Advance Twentyfive race handily. There’s a risk of overdoing it up front. Hold-up types like Amazing Journey and Stellar Sunrise could benefit…

Pace Angles + Draw Angles Being a hurdles race, draw is not a factor, but tactically this race leans toward a steady pace. Hope Rising and Max Of Stars both tend to race prominently, with Hope Rising especially likely to push the tempo. No confirmed habitual front-runner though, which may cause a tactical affair. Strongest…

Pace Angles + Draw Angles There’s no confirmed front-runner in the field, though Certain Style, Qilin Queen, or Fram Castle could press forward based on past positioning. The likely scenario is a steadily-run race, favouring those with a turn of foot rather than dour stayers. Draws are largely neutral at this trip on the AW…

Pace Angles + Draw Angles This year’s Yorkshire Oaks lacks a standout habitual front-runner. Qilin Queen may adopt the lead again as she did when winning in France, while Garden Of Eden has been ridden prominently and may also push forward. Likely an even to steady gallop, with a potential for a tactical test unless…

This looks a strongly-run staying handicap with My Girl Katie, Mini Fortune, Ryder’s Rock, and Cave Article all likely to press or lead. Given the tight right-handed turns at Newton Abbot and the good ground, it pays to…
