THE 525 ACCOUNTANCY SERVICES, LEADING ACCOUNTANCY FIRM HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

Race Description

This is a one mile and five furlongs handicap race for threeyear-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 55. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb

BETTING FORECAST: 3-1 Blue Antares (IRE), 7-2 Tafsir (USA), 11-2 A Day To Dream (IRE), 11-1 Crystal Guard (IRE), Paddy’s Fancy (GB), 14-1 Lechro (IRE), 16-1 Gottaifan (GB), 22-1 Zephlyn (IRE), 25-1 Two Rivers (IRE), The Darien Scheme (IRE), 40-1 Pammi (GB)

RACE SUMMARY: BLUE ANTARES clearly isn’t going to live up to his pedigree (half-brother to King’s Stand/Diamond Jubilee winner Blue Point) but he comes here having run his best race yet sporting a first-time visor when second at Ripon (12f) 11 days ago and he could be worth siding with to build on that now. Tafsir, a comfortable winner at Musselburgh, is a big threat, along with A Day To Dream.
