WIN:LOFT DANGER:RIVER OF STARS

Antiphon is amodel of consistency and boasts sound form claims,but the draw is a negativeinstall 12 and preferenceisfor FRISKY. She is drawn in stall twoand is amodel of consistency.Second behind RoyalAclaim at Bath in June,with the now97-rated Spangled Mac back in third, the daughter of Bated Breath seems to be on aworkable mark of 71 and is takentogowell. Le Beau Garconalsomakes some appeal.

TIPS Tellus may prove popular hereafter her promising debut second when beaten less than alength overthis trip at Catterick. FRANKNESSshowedequal promiseonher debut but followedthat up with acomfortable C&Dsuccess lastmonth and, although the daughter of Frankel has to give6lb away to her rivals,she may havemoreimprovement to come.Tillybob looksinteresting on paper and is another worthconsidering.

TODAY’STOP

RA CE 3 BOARDMAN absolutely loves it here, and is 2-4 overC&D,so, if getting some luck from stall nine,helookscapable of getting his head back in front off just3lb higher than when victorious hereback in May.PositiveImpact has landed agood draw in stall two and, with HarryBurns taking off avaluable 5lb,hecan go close,while On ASession is another in-form rival to consider

RA CE 1 CANTOCAN took abit of aknock leaving the stalls on her laststart at Deauville before being rushed up to makethe running. Unsurprisingly shefaded to come home ninth in Listedcompany, but shemay makeall with adecent startthis time and is bred to be evenbetteroverthis trip.All The Time is the only other winner in this ﬁeld and warrants plentyofrespect, while Queen Of Uplands looksbest of the rest

RA CE 2 An intriguing contest whereGerman Group winner LOFT will trytogiveweight away to all of his rivals.Awinner at HoppegarteninMay,hetravelled to Belmont Park in June to win the Gold Cup Stakes and, with no stamina issues,hecould be the one to beat. Both River Of Starsand Typewriter haveplentyofabilityand receive22lb from the four-year old, which will levelthe playing ﬁeld considerably

Khunan hasn’t been in the best form this year,but has come down alot in the weightsand he could go well at abig price, while King Of Tonga makes the shortlistbeing aC&D winner

This is a seven furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

This is a ﬁve furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds only which have been rated from 61 to 80 Like most handicaps on the ﬂat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is. This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap and is considered a disadvantage.

DESCRIPTION

thirdatLingﬁeld

This is a two mile handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 66 to 85 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 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70 RACE
