THE BOOK OUR ON-SITE HOTEL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile about three furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70. 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 70 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 65.

RACE STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (16-21): K Dalgleish (52 wins from 447 runners, 12%) runs FINALLY MINE Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): K Dalgleish (7 wins from 48 runners, 15%) runs FINALLY MINE Longest Traveller: G FOR GABRIAL trained by R Fahey, Malton, 203 miles.

BETTING FORECAST: 3-1 Will Sommers (GB), 7-2 Tricorn (IRE), 11-2 Finally Mine (USA), 7-1 Blistering Barney (IRE), Betty Grable (IRE), 12-1 G For Gabrial (IRE), 16-1 Granite City Doc (GB), 25-1 Firlinfeu (GB) RACE SUMMARY: To say WILL SOMMERS has been frustrating would be an understatement, but perhaps first-time cheekpieces will do the trick as he possesses more ability than his current mark. Tricorn snapped a lengthy losing sequence at Ayr last week, and if he’s in the mood again, he will provide a big threat. 1-2-3: 1.WILL SOMMERS 2.TRICORN (IRE) 3.FINALLY MINE (USA) STEWARDS NOTE: WILL SOMMERS: Following its run on 27/4/2021 it was reported that the horse weakened quickly 1 1/2f out.
