Race Stats
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): Dr R Newland (28 wins from 113 runners, 25%) runs TANGO ECHO CHARLIE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): P Bowen (4 wins from 11 runners, 36%) runs KARAVOMYLOS
WEIGHTWATCHER: I’M A STARMAN won off a handicap mark of 109, his rating is now down 6lb to 103.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: KARAVOMYLOS trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 235 miles.
Race Summary
KARAVOMYLOS has found just one too strong on both handicap starts so far but, with this greater test of stamina expected to play to his strengths and his yard in good form, Peter Bowen’s 4-y-o gets the vote to open his account sporting a first-time tongue strap. Halifax doubled his tally at Ffos Las recently and he could offer most resistance, with Ali Star Bert also fancied to feature back over the smaller obstacles.

Race Summary
BLUEBELLA has improved for the fitting of a tongue tie in recent weeks, nicely clear of the rest when second at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago, and this isn’t a strong handicap. She’ll take some stopping, though Bowland Belle has a basement mark to exploit, with Hashehadhisoatsyet also of some interest.

Race Summary
MELLERAY HILL won the second of his 2 outings in points and represents a shrewd yard on Rules debut, so he’s marginally preferred to Walk of The Roses, who showed a good attitude to make a winning start at Ffos Las in May. Snow Shepherdess is another one to consider
