Howth stands to benefit more than Get The Value, who may not settle ideally if held up off a steady gallop.Draw Bias: Not applicable over hurdles. — Strongest…

Pace Angles: An even gallop is forecast. Rory and Hail Sezer can be handy early, but there’s no obvious tearaway.

Race Setup & Tactical View: A 14-runner staying handicap where the pace forecast is even, meaning the race could unfold fairly without setting up excessively for closers or favouring those on the front end. Prominent racers such as GOLDEN FLAME and CAPTAIN POTTER may control the tempo. There’s no draw bias at this extended trip…

Conditions & Tactical View: A very strong pace is expected in this 11-runner sprint, which is notable as hold-up horses are normally disadvantaged at this trip on the Tapeta at Southwell. However, the anticipated burn-up on the front end means those who race just off the pace could be ideally placed late. No draw bias…
