THE SKY BET SUNDAY SERIES 3YO SPRINT HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) FOR THREE YRS OLD NUMBER OF DECLARED RUNNERS 15
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a six furlong handicap race for three-year-olds only which have been rated from 0 to 85. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

Ballet Steps was impressive at Nottingham last time and, if able to build on it, should pose a formidable threat, while River Pride, another last-time-out winner, is likely to be on the premises. 1-2-3: 1.AASSER (FR) 2.BALLET STEPS 3.RIVER PRIDE
