FOURTH RACE 7.05

TWO MILES ABOUT FOUR FURLONGS (2M 4F) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE DON’T WAIT CHECK YOUR PROSTATE HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4)

Total prize fund £8000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3231, 2nd £1615, 3rd £808, 4th £404, 5th £202. (Penalty Value £4224.80) Weights raised 3lbs and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): N Mulholland (26 wins from 185 runners, 14%) runs WATERGRANGE JACK TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): Dr R Newland (3 wins from 9 runners, 33%) runs ASTROMACHIA LONGEST TRAVELLER: ESPERTI trained by D Rees, Haverfordwest, 176 miles.

A case can be made for a few of these but THE HEIGHT OF FAME made a promising return when runner-up at Newton Abbot and is taken to go one better off an unchanged mark. In-form top-weight Astromachia heads the list of dangers, with Jamie Snowden’s pair College Oak and Sea The Clouds also in the mix.
