THE LARGS LADIES LWOB NOVICES’ HANDICAP HURDLE (CLASS 3) (GBB RACE)

Race Description

This is a three miles and half a furlong furlong handicap hurdle race for novice four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 135 To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 135 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 130

2022 WINNER CITY CHIEF (IRE)

SP: 11/8F

Age/Weight: 5-11-12

Runners: 6

Jockey: James Bowen

Trainer: Nicky Henderson

Summary : Sent off a well backed favourite, City Chief was pushed along and made his challenge before two out and kept on strongly on the run-in. Led inside the final half furlong to win by three quarters of a length from Hidden Heroics.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): S R B Crawford (17 wins from 111 runners, 15%) runs LANGDALE LANE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (11 wins from 58 runners, 19%) runs ROCKY MAN LONGEST TRAVELLER: LANGDALE LANE trained by S R B Crawford, Ireland.

TODAY’S TIPS Most of these are stepping into the unknown with regards to their stamina, but it would be folly to suggest in-form maiden hurdle winners Langdale Lane and Young Buster don’t have scope to improve for a sterner test. However, TWIN POWER strongly appeals dropping back in class after contesting the EBF Final, and Paul Nicholls’ six-year-old could provide the answer Brandy Mcqueen was a creditable seventh in the Pertemps Final and can also go close.
