Race Stats
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): F O’Brien (26 wins from 123 runners, 21%) runs BLUE SANS
TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): F O’Brien (7 wins from 28 runners, 25%) runs BLUE SANS
LONGEST TRAVELLER: ROSCOE TARA trained by A King, Barbury Castle, 141 miles.
The suggestion is HAVING A BARNEY, who was a bit better than the result when third over shorter here last time and is unexposed at this trip. Blue Sans was only fourth at Worcester recently but is well treated on her best efforts and is feared most ahead of Supreme Yeats, who won off an identical mark here last year
