RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 76 to 95. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 95 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 90.

Kevin Stott J Kevin Ryan, Hambleton T B D. R. Botterill Kevin Ryan Racing Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Improving son of Territories who was well backed and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 7 at Pontefract (6f) last month, denied a run over a furlong out but keeping on.

Richard Kingscote J Tom Dascombe, Malpas T B Ballyphilip Stud NAF S TIMEFORM VIEW Improved when bagging 7f nurseries here/Catterick (both at 7f) last summer. Not disgraced when midfield at Doncaster (7f) final start and the drop to 6f shouldn’t inconvenience him on return. TFRHHHII BHA87 3 IMPERIUM BLUE (GB) (179) 051126- D

John Egan J Rebecca Menzies, Sedgefield T B Rifa Mustang Pty Ltd Total Performance Data, Bluegrass Horse Feeds S TIMEFORM VIEW Kodiac gelding who landed back-to-back AW novice events (at 6f) during the winter. Yet to scale the same heights for new yard this spring, yet he’s another who remains low-mileage and return to 6f a plus. TFRHHHII BHA84 7 SELECTED (IRE) (18) 31323-0

Jack Mitchell J Richard Fahey, Malton T B Tom Darcy and Vincent McCarthy Richard Fahey Racing S TIMEFORM VIEW Made it fourth time lucky in a Ripon maiden (5f) last July and hit the frame next 3 starts in nurseries. Possible last month’s Thirsk return was needed but draw in 10 not ideal here. TFRHHHII BHA82

David Egan J Ian Williams, Alvechurch T B Andrews Syndicate Wildes Hotel Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner as a juvenile but he ran below-par returning from 4 months off when last of 9 at Newmarket (6f) in April.

Cam Hardie J Tim Easterby, Malton T B Bearstone Stud Limited Easthorpe Hall Stud S TIMEFORM VIEW Showed improved form when signing off last term with success in a Pontefract novice (6f) in October.

Thore Hammer Hansen (3) J Richard Hannon, Marlborough T B Aughamore Stud JMH Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Low-mileage son of Mehmas who opened account at Windsor (5f) in October.

Andrew Mullen J

O Mr Jason Adlam David C. Griffiths, Bawtry T

B Tally-Ho Stud TIMEFORM VIEW Well positioned when opening account in 6f Chelmsford nursery in August but seemingly not 100% at Goodwood (6f) the following month. Has since switched yards but this a tough enough ask on return. TFRHHHII BHA73 DECLARED RUNNERS 12 RECORD TIME 1 min 12.02 secs STANDARD TIME 1 min 13.50 secs

Running for the first time since Gelding No. 2, 3. Stewards Note: UNCLE JUMBO: Following its run on 6/4/2021 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run.

Probable S.P.’s: 9-2 Uncle Jumbo (GB), 5-1 Good Listener (IRE), 7-1 Tanfantic (GB), 8-1 Selected (IRE), 9-1 Paws For Thought (IRE), 10-1 Tipperary Tiger (IRE), 14-1 Imperium Blue (GB), 16-1 Pivoting (GB), 20-1 Sir Benedict (IRE), 22-1 Water of Leith (IRE), 25-1 Salsoul (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER UNCLE JUMBO was well backed and looked unlucky not to finish closer when a close-up fourth at Pontefract (6f) last month, denied a run over 1f out but keeping on. Operating from a good draw and for an in-form yard, he looks sure to go well. Tanfantic and Good Listener are fancied to give the selection most to think about.
