‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.

‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN crucially settled better when making her second start in handicaps a winning one at Taunton 6 weeks ago and a 5lb rise ought to see her very competitive again with a repeat.

A few with chances but SUNRAY SHADOW rates just the pick of the weights on the back of a very good Uttoxeter second so is taken to go one better and thwart the returning Ballintubber Boy who took this in 2024 and has a good record fresh. Thank You Ma’m and Tiger Orchid can also have a say in this competitive handicap

LIGHTNING FLASH: Following its run on 6/5/2026 it was reported that the horse jumped right-handed.

Probable S.P’s: 8-13 Ice Jet (IRE), 11-4 American Trio (IRE), 12-1 Breezethroughlife (IRE), 16-1 Lightning Flash (IRE)

ICE JET bolted up at Hereford last week and looks very hard to beat turned out under a 7lb penalty here. Exeter seller winner American Trio appeals as the one to chase home Dan Skelton’s improver ahead of Lightning Flash who reverts to hurdles after losing his way over fences.
