SECOND RACE 2.15
ONE MILE ABOUT FOUR FURLONGS (ABT 12F) FOR NOVICE THREE, FOUR AND FIVE YRS OLD
THE BRESBET REWARDS LOYALTY RESTRICTED NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 5) (for horses in Bands C and D) (GBB RACE)
Total prize fund £7600 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3243, 2nd £1621, 3rd £811, 4th £405. (Penalty Value £4104) Weights raised 5lb and paragraphs 27 to 31 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable. SS
RACE STATS
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): W Haggas (8 wins from 29 runners, 28%) runs LORDSHIP
TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): W Haggas (6 wins from 34 runners, 18%) runs LORDSHIP
LONGEST TRAVELLERS: LORDSHIP trained by W Haggas, MOUNTAIN LAKE trained by S bin Suroor, ALA KAIFI trained by Ismail Mohammed & SWIFT HAWK trained by W Knight, - all Newmarket, 164 miles.
LORDSHIP is going the right way and a repeat of the form he showed in handicap company at Haydock last time could be enough to see him get off the mark here. Swift Hawk is the obvious danger on the back of his Leicester near miss, although Mountain Lake did go off a short price on debut and it would be no surprise were she to prove a different proposition over this much longer trip

LONGEST TRAVELLER: DESERT FALCON trained by Sir M Prescott, Newmarket, 164 miles.
AIRSHOW escapes a penalty for his recent Goodwood success so should prove hard to beat if turning up in similar form Desert Falcon still looked very green when scoring on his return at Lingfield and may do better still now venturing into handicaps.
