Towcester Bags Race 1 - Towcester Friday 7th August 2026 Afternoon Pgr Meeting

HITTHELIDS PAULO (6) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (29.93) in an A4 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. SALACRES MERKEL (1) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 3.5 lengths last start at this track over 500m (29.80). Levels up but can win again with the confidence restored. LIMERICK BOY (4) drew trap 4 last start and was game in defeat when a close second, 1.3 lengths from Laughil Emma (29.74) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. FREEWAY FAYE (3) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A5 by 3.5 len at this track over 500m (29.80). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
