4.25 The racinguk.com Handicap

THE RACINGUK.COM HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile one furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 60. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 60 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 55.

RACE STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (16-21): K Dalgleish (55 wins from 445 runners, 12%) runs AYR EMPRESS and CLAY REGAZZONI Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): T Easterby (8 wins from 88 runners, 9%) runs TEMPER TRAP Weightwatcher: DANDY’S ANGEL won off a handicap mark of 64, her rating is now down 5lb to 59. Longest Traveller: ZENZERO trained by D O’Meara, Upper Helmsley, 208 miles. BETTING FORECAST: 3-1 Oh So Hot (IRE), 5-1 Dandy’s Angel (IRE), 7-1 Clay Regazzoni (GB), 8-1 Perfect Soldier (IRE), 10-1 Temper Trap (GB), Zenzero (IRE), 11-1 Loch Long (IRE), 18-1 Jungle Book (GER), 20-1 Ayr Empress (IRE), 66-1 Cole Noir (GB) RACE SUMMARY: OH SO HOT was denied by the barest of margins when runner-up at this course on her first outing for Adrian Nicholls and is worth a chance to go one better with the scope for further progress. Dandy’s Angel is well treated and shaped encouragingly last time, so might lay down the biggest challenge. Zenzero should relish the longer trip, so he’s also a player. 1-2-3: 1.OH SO HOT (IRE) 2.DANDY’S ANGEL (IRE) 3.ZENZERO (IRE)

STEWARDS NOTE:

PERFECT SOLDIER: Following its run on 26/5/2021 it was reported that the horse was impeded in running.
