Race Description:
This is a one mile and six furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70. 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 Summary:
David Thompson’s GLAN Y GORS has been running creditably in defeat on the Flat this year, and with a close fourth at Pontefract last month under his belt, is taken to strike back up in trip with P. J. McDonald on board for the first time. Ghadbbaan could give the selection most to think about having returned to form here 5 days ago, ahead of Teescomponentsfly.
