TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and easy to see why — this horse has won four of its last five races, including a win right here at Cartmel just 22 days ago. With the best win rate in the field across a career and an excellent record on normal ground conditions, it arrives in the hottest form of any runner. The main worry is that it has never won on softer ground if conditions change, but on a dry day at a course it has already conquered, this is the standout in-form contender.

Trainer Quotes
Oct 2025
"I've placed him terribly! He's been second three times over hurdles, including being beaten at Southwell by Almuhit, who was runner-up at the Punchestown festival, and at Carlisle by I'm A Starman, who won his next three races. He's a little behind the others as he was in a bit later, but he's definitely shown enough to win races. He'll stay well and he'll jump a fence - he's not big but he's really efficient. 29-10-25"

Four of Sean Og's five career wins have come right here at Cartmel — that's a remarkable and very specific record that makes this course-and-distance specialist impossible to ignore. He won here 54 days ago over this exact trip, so he arrives knowing the track intimately and with recent winning form at the venue. He was beaten over 10 lengths last time out at Cartmel, but that still makes him one of the most course-relevant horses in this small field.

TrackLab Insight
At 11 years old, Lermoos Legend is the most experienced horse in the field and crucially the only proven course winner here at Cartmel, which is a rare and relevant edge on a tight, unusual track. He was beaten just a length at Ffos Las two runs ago, though he then finished seventh at Worcester most recently, so form is patchy. This is a new jockey-trainer combination today, which adds a layer of uncertainty.

Got Grey has run twice at Cartmel recently, finishing third and then fifth, so familiarity with the course is not in doubt — but the gap back to the winner has been growing rather than shrinking. Wins 1 in every 9 races across its career, which is the lowest ratio among the main contenders here. The jockey-trainer partnership has managed just 3 wins from 83 races together, which is thin confidence from that corner.

Rated 7lbs below the field average and carrying the lowest weight today, Moodofthemoment arrives on the back of a pulled-up run at Perth just 16 days ago — and the jockey and trainer have never worked together before. On the plus side, his record over this exact distance is the best in the field, winning 2 from just 4 races at 2m 5f. There's a slim case for him at a big price, but recent form and the unexplained partnership change make this a tough sell.

Trainer Quotes
Nov 2024
"He's going to Taunton on Thursday for a 0-120 novice handicap chase. He's been very consistent, winning his last two races, and finishing second the three times before that. Although he's gone up to 106 from a mark of 92 in August, he's definitely got more improvement in him. He's been an absolute bargain. He came out of Ireland with a big reputation - I know David Pipe thought a bit of him, but he didn't cut the mustard there - and I'm excited that he's still unexposed. I'm stepping him up in trip to 2m7f on Thursday because it's an ideal race for him. I'm not sure if he's a true three-miler but he might be okay on a sharp track. I think he'll go on any ground. 28-11-24"

The top-rated horse in this field by 3lbs, Red Happy has won 12 times from 48 races — roughly 1 in every 4 — including a Class 2 win at Carlisle as recently as March. However, the market has swung dramatically against him, drifting from near-even money to 36/1, and his last run here at Cartmel ended with a pulled-up finish just three weeks ago. The rating says he's the best horse in the race, but the odds and that recent non-finish raise a big question mark.

How do odds work? The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
