RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

CABRAKAN was value for more than the winning margin and proved his opening mark a lenient one when scoring over C&D 11 days ago. With his rider’s claim more than off-setting his subsequent rise, he looks the one to beat. Republican may well be the one to give him most to think about

RACE STATS

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): F O’Brien (6 wins from 31 runners, 19%) runs BLUE CLOVER LONGEST TRAVELLER: QUARESOME trained by D McCain, Cholmondeley, 86 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

The market should prove highly informative but the vote goes to DASHER who made a promising start when runner-up at Market Rasen and can go one better with a fair bit of improvement to come. Quaresome fetched £85,000 after scoring at Roscommon on his debut and rates the chief threat now starting out for Donald McCain. Blue Clover also has the form to have a say, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces has the desired effect.
