Manager’s Thoughts – Cartmel Runners

Ursa Major head to Cartmel today with four runners in the famous Battenberg silks.

2:45 – Restandbethankful (Peter Kavanagh)

We’re hopeful of a big run. He’s finally back on the good ground he enjoys, looks well handicapped, and we’ve worked through a few wind issues which now seem behind him. He should have a solid each-way chance.

4:30 – Prince Quattro (Sean Bowen)

The Cartmel Cup is always a fiercely competitive race, but we’re excited to have Champion Jockey Sean Bowen wearing our colours for the first time. Prince Quattro goes there with a favourite’s chance and, if he handles the unique track, he should be right in the mix and hopefully go very close.

5:05 – Glory and Honour (Jonathan England) (pictured below)

Another competitive contest, but with the favourite coming out this morning, Glory and Honour looks a little overpriced. That gives us encouragement for a strong each-way chance.

5:35 – Ingennio (Sean Quinlan)

This will bring him on again. He has plenty of weight to carry which makes it a tough task, but he’s been pleasing us at home. We just want to see him get competitive and show a bit more this time, which would set him up perfectly for his next outing.

Best of luck to everyone joining us at Cartmel today – it could be a special afternoon for the Battenberg silks. Don’t forget to follow our socials for updates throughout the day.
