Field: 11 runners (Balmoral Boy NR)Going: Good to Soft, light rain forecastDraw/Pace Notes: Carlisle’s 1m1f start gives a fair run to the bend. Draw is less important than over shorter trips, although low-to-middle stalls can gain a small positional advantage if they break well. On easing ground, races at this trip often favour horses able…

Class 6 Handicap (0-55), 1m2f, Good ground, 4yo+14 runners Race Assessment Brighton’s 1m2f start gives a relatively short run to the first bend and low-to-middle draws are generally favoured, especially if able to secure a prominent position.

1m (7f216y), Class 5 Handicap (0-70), 4yo+, Good ground, 13 runners Race Assessment This is a restricted handicap for horses yet to win in 2026.

No draw angle applies over hurdles. Main concern: confirm reserves/non-runners, because Timurshah is first…

2m2f (17f), Claiming Hurdle, Good ground, 10 runners A modest claiming hurdle in which recent form and suitability to conditions look more important than raw ratings alone.
