Pace Scenario: An even to fair pace is expected with no dedicated front-runner declared. Tactical positioning will be key. With Deauville’s long straight, horses with a sharp turn of foot and those ridden prominently but efficiently will hold an edge. Strongest Contenders: ASCOLI PICENO (Proven, Top-Class Filly) – Multiple G1 winner from Japan, including the…

A race confined to EBF-eligible mares who are yet to win under rules. Most of these are lightly raced or debuting, with a mix of moderate previous form and some potential improvers. Bumpers at Tramore often favour race-fit types or those from top yards, especially those ridden prominently. Key Contenders: LA CONFINER (W.P. Mullins /…

Pace Scenario: A solid early pace is likely, with Lady Wingalong, Miss Hathaway, and Carlton And Co all showing previous front-running tendencies.

Draw Angles: Low-to-middle stalls are generally favoured over…

Pace Scenario: A few possible pace angles here with Ixigreczed, Itsalonglongroad and Lady Rose Hackett all known to race prominently.

Strongest Contenders: ONEBRIGHTBLUEROSE (Proven & Competitive)…

Southwell’s Tapeta surface plays fair but can favour those prominent in steadily run races. The low to middle draws (1–6) tend to be…

Pace & Draw Angles This staying handicap lacks a true front-runner, with several runners typically settled mid-division or held up. Even pace expected, but Pontefract’s stiff uphill finish often turns tactical contests into tests of stamina.

Pace Angles & Draw Bias This looks a steadily run race with several mid-pack and hold-up types; no habitual front-runner is present, although Wine An Dine and Tullyveery Lad could race handily. Tramore’s tight, right-handed track and uphill finish often reward tactical positioning, and horses off the pace may struggle unless the field over-races. Being…
