Don’t miss the Parade of former racehorses at 11:35 - 11:55 in Parade Ring!
About RoR:
The parade showcases the versatility of the thoroughbred together with the range of activities open to horses when they finish their racing careers, thanks to the work of Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), British Horseracing’s official charity for the welfare of horses that have retired from racing
Today’s 10-strong parade features some familiar names who have already adapted to a new career, including the former Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, Coneygree, the 2015 Hennessey Gold Cup winner Smad Place, the 2016 winner Native River
These well-known former racehorses will be joined by stars like Amroth Bay, Gentleman At Arms, and Wonga Swinger, who are all thriving in their second careers.
To help stimulate demand for former racehorses within the wider equestrian market, RoR annually stages over 40 separate competition series across 15 different disciplines, catering for all levels of ability, from grassroots to elite. The disciplines include dressage, showing, polo, eventing, show jumping, endurance, hunting and horseball.

MY NOBLE LORD, a most progressive handicapper on the Flat, has the physique and attitude to do well over jumps and looks sure to leave the bare form of his opening win at Chepstow last month well behind now stepping up in grade. Prairie Angel and East India Dock are also promising and they head the dangers.

An Arkle trial in name only, L’EAU DU SUD the sort of good-class handicap hurdler his stable almost routinely turn into even better chasers and he’s strongly fancied to take the step up in class in his stride and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Lookaway showed his likeable attitude when making a winning return/chase debut at Uttoxeter recently, so he heads up the dangers with improvement on the cards, with Western Zephyr taken to edge out San Salvador for third.

PLAY SMARTER
Plenty are in with a shout but it’s hard to side against Dan Skelton’s upwardly-mobile DOYEN QUEST who resumed with an excellent second in a big-field Chepstow handicap (form been franked) and still looks ahead of his mark with this longer trip also a likely plus. Gavin Cromwell’s new recruit Noble Birth could emerge as the main dangeralthough fellow Irish challengerZeeband commands plenty ofrespect for last year’s winning yard In-form duo Gowel Road and Itso Fury can both have a saytoo.
