Quite a contrast today, in the space of 5 minutes we go from Ascot to Cartmel, & there's no bigger contrast in racecourses than that.
Both races are handicaps, one flat, one hurdle, with wide open betting. Be a big surprise if anyone gets a Double Whammy today, for sure.
1650 Ascot - 1m handicap, 3YO, 10 runners, Good to Firm, Good in places
1655 Cartmel - 2m 6f Handicap Hurdle, 4YO+, 10 runners, Good to Soft, Soft in places
The grandstands at Cartmel & Ascot tell us all we need to know about the difference in class between the two tracks;
