Barrabool can land biggest prize on racing's 550,000 Go North weekend
Briefly

The Go North weekend, running for the fifth consecutive year, presents significant financial incentives for horses just under top-tier status, particularly with the 100,000 Ladbrokes Herring Queen Series Final at Kelso. Major contenders include Surrey Belle, who won by 57 lengths previously, but questions about her competition level and weight concerns arise. Additional horses of interest, like Dare To Shout and Homme Public, exhibit noteworthy form and reliability, making this weekend's races compelling despite generally serving as a quieter period in the jumping calendar.
The Go North weekend offers better monetary rewards for second-tier jumpers, making it a notable event despite its positioning between major races like Cheltenham and Aintree.
Surrey Belle enters as the favorite for the Herring Queen Series Final, but her last victory came in a weak field, raising concerns about her ability to handle tougher competition.
Dare To Shout has been consistent with five runner-up finishes this year, demonstrating reliability and potential, particularly following a commendable run against the Cheltenham Ultima winner.
The versatile Homme Public is a strong contender at Bangor with a prior Doncaster victory under his belt, suggesting he may be underestimated at his current odds.
