We said2nd of 5, beaten 2¼ at 7/2
MART 11/4
Only one confirmed front-runner, and this is a track where that matters — front-runners here win 2.7 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive.
MART at 11/4, D Donovan with Ryan Kavanagh taking off 3lb, looks the one to be on. He races off a mark 19lb below the 70 it won from back in May 2025, has already won round this track 3 times and wears headgear for the first time.
The main danger is ELVETHAM at 2/1 (a course winner).
Non-runners: Dontspoilasale.
