HAVE A

RACE IN YOUR VERY OWN NAME!!!

Did you know you could celebrate a special occasion with a race named after a friend or relative – for example

‘The John and Joan 40th Wedding Anniversary Maiden Stakes’ or ‘The John Smith 30th Birthday Handicap Stakes’.

It’s a great way to enjoy a day out with brilliant memories and you can combine it with hospitality in a private suite or a meal in the restaurant. You can come down to the Parade Ring and choose the ‘Best Turned Out’ horse and also present a prize to the winning owner before enjoying a post-race glass of bubbly. The package also includes photographs of your day and a mention in the racecard and on the big screen.

RACE SUMMARY colours no horse

Some young improvers taking on established handicappers here. Upstart Crow and his regular amateur pilot could snatch a fourth win, however this is the most competitive contest he’s faced Both he and stablemate Jaahez have shown their best on the top of the ground, as has LUJAIN, however her dam relished some cut and the drop in class at her preferred trip should give her the edge Paramer Angel, who is proven here and can go well after an absence looks a good each way pick.

Mr Philip Collington

Distance winner on quick and though untried on easy ground, dam handled it well. Bumped into a potentially smart type on reappearance under a penalty and then lacked pace, tried in a sprint at Group 2PA level latest Return to trip and drop in class a definite plus. (R5 W1 P3) (OR 75)

Course and distance winner in 2019, who still retains plenty of ability Can go well fresh as when winning at this level on reappearance over two furlongs further last season, beating Jaahez (3rd) and several useful types. Suited by any ground and market support to be noted. (R14 W3 P5) (OR 73)

At his best over 1m2f on quick or the All Weather, though not beaten far on reappearance behind Upstart Crow at Brighton over this trip in visors. Better off with that one here and another stable amateur takes a few pounds off again, though visors discarded for customary hood.(R23 W2 P12) (OR 67)

Group 3PA sprint winner in his prime, but has never looked at home over this distance, despite winning a conditions race on the AW at Al Ain at this trip in 2017 Could be invigorated by changing stables however, and won his maiden on soft (R44 W7 P11) (OR 67)

Br Mr P Hammersley/Raffles Partnership HD

Put a poor run at Brighton (last to Upstart Crow) behind him when respectable second to a very promising type at Wolverhampton over this trip latest, despite racing freely. Going the right way and tries a hood today to help him settle, easier ground a likely plus too. Chance (R4 W0 P3) (OR 60)

Br James Owen & James Owen Racing Ltd VIS

Distant third to Lujain at Windsor on quick last year in a novice and meets that one on much better terms. Tried in cheekpieces as when close second to Upstart Crow at Bath in June, no surprise if she off a light weight.(R6 W0 P2) (OR 58)

Attractive half-sister to dual winner Aloof, by a better sire Green and well beaten in novices to date and clearly a work in progress Entitled to improve again today on handicap debut, but shapes like she needs more time and others preferred. (R2 W0 P1) (OR 50)

Twice beaten by Upstart Crow this season at Bath, at this trip and further on quick ground, though most of the family take their time to score. Open to improvement in first time visor trying easier ground for the first time, but hard to recommend running from out of the handicap. (R7 W0 P3) (OR 50) 4oh
