Racing Handicap (Class 6

THE RACING TV PROFITS RETURNED TO RACING HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds only which have been rated from 46 to 65. 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.

The 3-y-o finished well over 5f at Pontefract last time, so he can build on that effort with the return to 6f to suit. Crypto Quest got back on track on his latest outing and is feared most ahead of Liv Lucky. 1-2-3: 1.TRUST BERTIE (IRE) 2.CRYPTO QUEST (IRE) 3.LIV LUCKY (IRE) STEWARDS NOTE: MAKHAN KING: Following its run on 25/5/2022 it was reported that the horese ran free and hung left turning.
