John MacKenzie And Hamish MacGregor Memorial Handicap

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	3	El Matador (G) FAV Won a pair of novice events last spring and good placed efforts in handicaps this season. Ground shouldn't be a problem and needs considering back down in class.	5-22331	H Crouch R M Beckett	4	63.5kg	4 3/1
6th	2	6	Thunder Roar (G) V Progressed into a useful handicapper last season but has struggled this campaign. Visor tried (little impact when wearing cheekpieces previously).	008767	D Nolan T Coyle & K Wood	7	62.6kg	17 16/1
7th	3	7	Impartiality (G) P Strong-travelling type who ran another solid race when third at Ayr 11 days ago. Drop back in trip should suit if anything and he's one for the shortlist.	222237	Shane Gray Phillip Makin	4	62.6kg	5 4/1
8th	4	1	Sujet (G) B Won twice at up to 9f for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year. Mixed record for current handler this season but drop back in trip should at least suit.	002098	Zak Wheatley D Carroll	4	62.1kg	51 50/1
2nd	5	9	Strength of Spirit (G) Took form to another level when winning here (9f, good to firm) last month. Pulled too hard upped in trip since. Winner on good to soft, unraced on softer.	934010	Jack Nicholls K R Burke	3	61.2kg	9 8/1
9th	6	4	Rhoscolyn (G) T Won the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood last season. Has failed to reach those heights since but made much more of an impact off reduced mark last 2 starts, though was no match for the winner at Hay…	082290	D Tudhope D O'Meara	8	61.2kg	8.50 15/2
4th	7	5	Hot Cash (G) V Winner on soft ground at Carlisle last summer and returned to his best in first-time headgear (cheekpieces) when runner-up at Chester 16 days ago. Up 2 lb but he remains below his winning mark. Visor…	800244	K Stott J Channon	4	60.3kg	13 12/1
5th	8	8	Lir Speciale (G) Ended 2025 with back-to-back wins in the mud at Doncaster. Some decent efforts in defeat this season and conditions have now come in his favour. Could be the answer.	578053	Jason Hart B Ellison	7	60.3kg	6.50 11/2
11th	9	12	Milteye (G) As good as ever when a narrow winner at Ripon (1m) in April. Mixed record since but he handles the mud so not out of things from an easing mark.	854606	Ethan Tindall H Bethell	6	59.9kg	34 33/1
13th	10	13	Callisto Dream (F) Took advantage of drop in grade when winning at Pontefract on return in May. However, she added to her patchy record at York 4 months later.	397-180	O J Orr E Bethell	4	58.1kg	15 14/1
12th	11	2	Daydreama (G) Yet to win a handicap but he went very close in a small field at Ripon in July. However, struggled in big fields at York since.	820006	D Allan T D Easterby	3	58.1kg	26 25/1
10th	12	10	Good Morning Alex (G) Confirmed previous promise when recording an eighth career success over C&D (soft) last week, holding on gamely. Can go well again under a penalty now back on track.	850051	Connor Beasley T D Barron	5	57.2kg	13 12/1
3rd	13	11	Geo (F) Consistent filly who didn't have to improve when a narrow winner at Ayr (soft) 11 days ago. Not an obvious type to follow up off 2 lb higher in better race.	234613	Lauren Young J S Goldie	4	54.9kg	21 20/1
