No draw bias to report over…

Pace Angles + Draw Angles:A strong pace is expected here, and that should favour those who can settle mid-to-rear and finish strongly, particularly on soft ground. There’s a low-draw bias over this 1m trip at Yarmouth, which further boosts Hinitsa Bay (stall 2) and Willow’s Kiss (stall 1). Front-runners may struggle to hold on if…

Pace Angles + Draw Angles:This looks set to be a tactically run race with ZUFFOLO the clear lone pace angle. He is unlikely to be taken on and could dominate from the front.

Prominent racers tend to hold the advantage at this venue, especially under these conditions. Rolling Luck and Fen Tiger may have tactical leverage if ridden forward. The draw is not a notable factor over this…
