This is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 51 to 70. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap raGngwhich is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure compeGGve 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.

Stewards Note:

Betting Forecast:
13-8 Ariel (IRE), 8-1 Elusive Artist (IRE), Estad (IRE), 9-1 Empirestateofmind (IRE), Princess Layan (IRE), 14-1 The Sedberghian (IRE), 18-1 Distinction (IRE), 20-1 Kentucky Ki en (IRE), 25-1 Salsoul (IRE), 66-1 Havana Party (GB)
PLAY SMARTER ARIEL opened his account in good style at Kempton and can go in again aùer a 4lb rise, the step up in trip and return to turf both looking positives. Empirestateofmind and Estad are just a couple of potential improvers now they go handicapping.
