MARES’ HANDICAP HURDLE (CLASS 2) (GBB RACE)

Race Description

This is a three miles and half a furlong handicap hurdle race for mares aged four-years and upwards. The majority of handicaps are designed for horses from with a specific ratings band but this particular race has no rating restrictions attached to it which allows horses with a higher rating to take part. Even so, the higher rated horses must still concede weight to their lower rated rivals, which tends to make open handicaps very competitive races.

2022 WINNER GET A TONIC (IRE)

SP: 5/2 F

Age/Weight: 6-11-12

Runners: 9

Jockey: Harry Skelton

Trainer: Dan Skelton

Summary : Another impressive winner for Team Skelton Get A Tonic travelled well throughout the contest and she made smooth headway to lead approaching the last and she was kept up to her task on the run-in and crossed the line a length and a half to the good over her nearest rival.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): N Alexander (38 wins from 235 runners, 16%) runs CHARM OFFENSIVE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (11 wins from 58 runners, 19%) runs GET A TONIC LONGEST TRAVELLER: GREAT SNOW trained by N Mulholland, Limpley Stoke, 405 miles.

TODAY’S TIPS A creditable third in a valuable Grade 2 handicap at Newbury last month, GREAT SNOW should appreciate going back up in trip as she looks to bounce back to winning ways. The six-year-old remains open to improvement and she may have too much for last year’s winner Get A Tonic and Jasmiwa, who did it easily at Chepstow last time out. Bellatrixsa and Charm Offensive cannot be ruled out either
