about SIX FURLONGS (6f abt 6yds) (1200m)
Second Race
1.35p.m. THE HAMILTON-PARK.CO.UK NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 5) (DIV I)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This contest is another novice stakes and also run over a distance of six furlongs. There are a variety of reasons why the three-year-olds and upwards in this race are still light on experience. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career.

However, there’s no real reason to believe that he won’t prove equally effective at this trip on better ground and he earns the vote. With General Sago due to run at Ripon on Wednesday evening, Cooperation is clear second choice ahead of Bannow. 1-2-3: 1.LIGHTENING COMPANY (IRE) 2.COOPERATION (IRE) 3.BANNOW STEWARDS NOTE: VELLCO’S BOY: Following its run on 17/5/2021 it was reported that the horse hung left handed.
