Race Stats

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): A Brittain (47 wins from 510 runners, 9%) runs FAI FAI & YAAHOBBY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): A Brittain (3 wins from 21 runners, 14%) runs FAI FAI & YAAHOBBY WEIGHTWATCHER: SAAHEQ won off a handicap mark of 76, his rating is now down 6lb to 70.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: GLORIOUS RIO trained by Mrs Stella Barclay, Garstang, 123 miles.

CARIBBEAN SUNSET evidently isn’t the easiest to train but he ran well on the back of a lengthy absence when runner-up over 6f here early last year and from a career-low mark he could just be worth chancing to make a bold bid back from 14 months off. Sugar Baby appeals as being on a handy mark and is feared, along with Princess Karine Elzaal, who has been prolific over this C&D, also merits respect.
