Dare To Shout

The Carlisle record is the standout detail here. Two wins from just three visits — that is an extraordinary return, and it tells you this horse absolutely loves the place. Most horses at this level win at a course once, if they're lucky. To convert two-thirds of its appearances there into victories suggests something beyond coincidence: the track suits the way Dare To Shout runs. The most recent of those wins came in October 2025, which means the yard has a course specialist on its hands and almost certainly knows it.

Ann Hamilton's team has sent out nine winners this season, which for a smaller operation based in Capheaton is a genuinely productive spell. Dare To Shout has been part of that story, and Danny McMenamin — the horse's regular jockey — has been in the saddle for four of its five career wins across 22 rides together. That is a 1-in-5 win rate, which matches the horse's overall record almost exactly, suggesting the partnership works and the team trusts it.

The ground preference is worth noting: on normal conditions, Dare To Shout has won 2 of its 3 races, a 67% conversion rate that dwarfs anything it has managed elsewhere. Conditions matter a great deal for horses at this level, and when the ground is right, this one tends to perform.

Recent form shows a blank in the last six races since that October win at Carlisle, with a second place the best of it — so a seventh-month winless run is the current reality. But this is a nine-year-old that raced just one day ago and is still clearly being trained to compete, not to retire. The next time Dare To Shout lines up at Carlisle on decent ground, it will be worth paying close attention.
