Handicap Stakes

THE GAS CALL SERVICES HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile and five furlongs handicap race for threeyear-olds and upwards which have been rated from 66 to 85. 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 85 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 80.

RACE STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (17-22): K Dalgleish (50 wins from 410 runners, 12%) runs HEIGHTS OF ABRAHAM Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): C & M Johnston (9 wins from 81 runners, 11%) runs TROJAN HORSE Longest Traveller: DIVINE JEWEL trained by R Varian, Newmarket, 360 miles.

BETTING FORECAST:

5-4 Divine Jewel (GB), 10-3 Wickywickywheels (IRE), 17-2 Trojan Horse (IRE), 11-1 Zimmerman (GB), 14-1 Ebony Maw (GB), 20-1 Heights of Abraham (IRE), 22-1 Two Auld Pals (IRE) RACE SUMMARY: DIVINE JEWEL arrives on an upward curve and can quickly resume winning ways having not been seen to best effect when runner-up at Newbury. Jim Goldie has his string in great nick and his hat-trick seeking Wickywickywheels is feared most on the back of an impressive course success. Trojan Horse looks the pick of the rest for minor honours. 1-2-3: 1.DIVINE JEWEL 2.WICKYWICKYWHEELS (IRE) 3.TROJAN HORSE (IRE)
