Or: 103

Smooth-travelling sort who benefitted from being ridden cold when opening his account in convincing fashion (at the expense of a subsequent winner) in a Plumpton handicap last time and similar tactics could see him make a bold bid to follow up, on a track that ought to suit his style well.

Free-going front runner who got off the mark at Sedgefield (good to firm) last October. Not in the same form over the same C&D in March, however, she's more than capable fresh and quick conditions around here should prove right up her street.

Garrick Painter (Ire)

Age: 6
Weight: 12st 0lbs
Or: 105

Irish raider who landed a gamble to get off the mark over hurdles at Perth this time last year. Expected to come for his comeback at Wexford and while his inflated British mark certainly makes life tougher, he's again worth a look in the betting.

Runner-up in a bumper/handicap hurdle before ending his time with Dan Skelton on a low note last April. He did win a match event between the flags the following month, but the market can guide having been off for over a year prior to this stable debut.

Age: 9
Weight: 11st 4lbs

Versatile type who capitalised on a falling mark when successful over C&D on third start for current yard last July before finishing runner-up in a pair of handicaps over longer trips here. Finding his form so far this season (took 3/4 runs to get there 2025/26) and may well make more impact here.

Or: 104

Ground-versatile performer who had some strong form here last summer but blemished a fine course record when pulled-up in the Cartmel Cup in August. In good heart on the Flat this year, though, and he ought to at least be competitive on return to hurdles.

Placed twice over C&D last summer before snapping a long losing run at Sedgefield and having only been beaten by a gambled-on rival at Newcastle in December, he should again be competitive off this sort of mark, with last month's comeback run under his belt.

Timeform Verdict

GOODWIN FACE is a rare Cartmel runner for the Chris Gordon yard and looks the type to relish the idiosyncrasies of the track. He's preferred to the James Moffatt pair, with Book of Secrets particularly interesting if recapturing last summer's course form.
