RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): Dr R Newland (26 wins from 111 runners, 23%) runs MARTELLO SKY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): N Richards (2 wins from 16 runners, 12%) runs UNIVERSAL FOLLY

LONGEST TRAVELLER: UNIVERSAL FOLLY trained by N Richards, Greystoke, 153 miles.

Race Summary

A match but it’s not short on intrigue. The return to 3m will suit UNIVERSAL FOLLY and his experience over fences tilts the scales his way, though Martello Sky would be a formidable opponent if matching her hurdles form sent chasing by her new stable.

LONGEST TRAVELLERS: BELL WAY trained by A Honeyball & OOH BETTY trained by Ben Clarke - both Beaminster, 176 miles.

OOH BETTY had a bit up her sleeve when seeing off Manimole at Ludlow earlier this month and, with further improvement a distinct possibility for Ben Clarke’s mare, she’s fancied to confirm those placings once again. Blue Clover is sure to have derived plenty from her runner-up effort on hurdling debut so she can fight out third spot with Our Friend Mo.
