Hilton Handicap (Class 6
THE #CLEANSTAY AT HAMPTON BY HILTON HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a one mile and three furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 60. 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.
RACE STATISTICS
Leading course trainer (16-21): K Dalgleish (56 wins from 434 runners, 13%) runs AYR EMPRESS Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): M Johnston (9 wins from 100 runners, 9%) runs LOVE OF ZOFFANY Weightwatcher: ZEALOUS won off a handicap mark of 57, his rating is now down 12lb to 45. Longest Traveller: TOMMY R trained by Phillip Makin, Easingwold, 188 miles.
BETTING FORECAST: 3-1 Ayr Empress (IRE), 7-2 Love of Zoffany (IRE), 4-1 Tommy R (IRE), Tarnhelm (GB), 10-1 Oot Ma Way (FR), 25-1 Mr Luigi (GB), 40-1 Zealous (IRE), 100-1 Cole Noir (GB) RACE SUMMARY: Preference is for TOMMY R, who raised his game a touch when striking at Carlisle in May and he promises to be suited by this stiffer test. Ayr Empress should have a leading role to play if her stamina holds out, while Love of Zoffany has to be taken seriously, too. Tarnhelm would also be a threat if able to back up her latest effort at Ayr, but she’s not the easiest to predict. 1-2-3: 1.TOMMY R (IRE) 2.AYR EMPRESS (IRE) 3.LOVE OF ZOFFANY (IRE)
