Race preview

MISS CARBO didn't really progress in maiden/novice company but she was a different proposition on her handicap debut, winning with something up her sleeve at Hereford. Turned out again quickly under a 7lb penalty, she is 2lb well-in compared to her revised rating and another step up in distance shouldn't be a problem. A busy beginning to 2026 may have taken its toll on Parish Star as she never looked like completing the three-timer at Carlisle. She has had over six weeks to recover, though, and a tongue-tie is fitted. Vanilla Dancer merits respect too.
