Handicap

THE PDM BUILDBASE SCOTLAND HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile 68 yard handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65. 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 65 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 60.

RACE STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (17-22): K Dalgleish (48 wins from 401 runners, 12%) runs BRECKLAND & FRIENDLY VEGAN Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): K Dalgleish (4 wins from 29 runners, 14%) runs BRECKLAND & FRIENDLY VEGAN Longest Traveller: BALQAA trained by Mrs Stella Barclay, Garstang, 160 miles.

BETTING FORECAST: 11-4 Breckland (GB), 10-3 Ayr Poet (GB), 4-1 Retirement Beckons (GB), 6-1 Shine On Brendan (IRE), 10-1 Bashful (GB), 20-1 Don’t Look Back (GB), 22-1 Balqaa (GB), 100-1 Friendly Vegan (IRE)

RACE SUMMARY: BRECKLAND had something up his sleeve when scoring at Musselburgh 2 days ago and, if he takes his chance back over this longer trip, he may well be able to follow up under a penalty. Ayr Poet is an obvious danger back down in grade and the in-form Retirement Beckons is also worthy of consideration. 1-2-3: 1.BRECKLAND 2.AYR POET 3.RETIREMENT BECKONS
