1m5f16y, Class 4 Handicap, 4yo+, Good to Firm5 runners This looks a tactical small-field staying handicap rather than a strongly run stamina test.

2m½f, Good ground, Class handicap hurdle for mares, 10 runners Ballinrobe over 2m on good ground tends to reward mares who travel strongly and hold position turning in.
