THE GERMAN DONER KEBAB HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a one mile a handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 56 to 75. 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.
