THE PATERSONS OF GREENOAKHILL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) RACE DESCRIPTION
Our penultimate contest tonight is a five-furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 5 or 6lb depending on the race conditions.

BETTING FORECAST: 5-2 James Watt (IRE), 10-3 Ventura Flame (IRE), 7-2 Economic Crisis (IRE), 15-2 Show Me Show Me (GB), 17-2 Get Boosting (GB), 14-1 The Gloaming (IRE) RACE SUMMARY: Tough to split these but preference is for JAMES WATT, who, sporting first-time cheekpieces, ended a losing run that stretched back to 2018 at Ripon just over 3 weeks ago. He’s taken to go in again now he’s regained the winning thread. Veteran Economic Crisis has filled the runner-up spot the last twice and she may have to settle for that position again, ahead of Get Boosting. 1-2-3: 1.JAMES WATT (IRE) 2.ECONOMIC CRISIS (IRE) 3.GET BOOSTING
