Handicap (Class 6

THE LOCKTON COMPANIES LLP HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile and three furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

RACE STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (17-22): K Dalgleish (57 wins from 433 runners, 13%) runs KRAKEN FILLY Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): C & M Johnston (12 wins from 63 runners, 19%) runs VICTORY STAR Fancy That: J Goldie won this race in 2015 and 2019. The stable runs AYR POET and CLAN JOCK today. Longest Traveller: VICTORY STAR trained by C & M Johnston & CLANSMAN trained by Liam Bailey, Middleham, both 164 miles.

BETTING FORECAST: 3-1 Clan Jock (IRE), 4-1 Clansman (GB), 9-2 Victory Star (GB), 11-2 Mahanakhon Power (GB), 7-1 Simple Star (IRE), 12-1 Ayr Poet (GB), 14-1 Kraken Filly (IRE) RACE SUMMARY: CLAN JOCK has shaped well on both starts since joining Jim Goldie this year, suggesting that he could be ready to open his account. Having not been beaten far over C&D on his return, the 5-y-o travelled best when losing out only narrowly at Musselburgh last month so he can go one better this time around. Clansman and Simple Star have both run well over C&D recently and they are the pair feared most. 1-2-3: 1.CLAN JOCK (IRE) 2.CLANSMAN 3.SIMPLE STAR (IRE)
