First Race

AMATEUR JOCKEYS’ HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

Race Description

This is a six furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 55. 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.

RACE SUMMARY: A few with chances but HURT YOU NEVER scored easily at Leicester only eight days ago and is impossible to oppose off just a 3lb higher mark. Jackmeister Rudi wasn’t seen to best effect when sixth at Wolverhampton last time and appeals as the one to chase home the hat-trick seeker Ripon runner-up

Giselles Izzy can emerge as the best of the rest for place purposes.
