THE BOOK OUR ON-SITE HOTEL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a one mile, one furlong about 35 yards handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 56 to 75. 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 STATISTICS
Leading course trainer (16-21): K Dalgleish (52 wins from 449 runners, 12%) runs BREGUET BOY and PADDYPLEX Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): T Easterby (9 wins from 78 runners, 12%) runs REGAL MIRAGE Weightwatcher: MARKAZI won off a handicap mark of 84, his rating is now down 13lb to 71. Longest Traveller: REGAL MIRAGE trained by T Easterby, Malton, 203 miles.
BETTING FORECAST: 11-4 Regal Mirage (IRE), 4-1 Jackhammer (IRE), 11-2 Paddyplex (GB), 13-2 Breguet Boy (IRE), 7-1 Ralphy Boy Two (IRE), 9-1 Markazi (FR), 14-1 Gulf of Poets (GB) RACE SUMMARY: A leap of faith is required in supporting PADDYPLEX given the length of his losing run. However, he’s tumbled down the weights and very much caught the eye when third over 8.3f here 3 weeks ago, noted finishing full of running on the back of a slow start. He shades the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with Jackhammer and Regal Mirage expected to also be firmly in the mix. 1-2-3: 1.PADDYPLEX 2.JACKHAMMER (IRE) 3.REGAL MIRAGE (IRE) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS NUMBER OF DECLARED RUNNERS 7
