Good evening and welcome to Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse!

It’s great to have racegoers back again and we’ve been lucky with the weather for our last two meetings so we’ll be keeping our fingers firmly crossed that luck continues this evening and tomorrow afternoon.

Our feature race this evening is the 6f ‘Wells Memorial Challenge Trophy’ at 7.30, run in memory of all members of the Wells family who have contributed greatly to the racecourse since its inauguration. Good luck to the three runners who go to post!

Thanks to our sponsors this evening, Betzone and Titanium Racing, their support is much appreciated.

Of course, there are still some restrictions in place around the racecourse and we ask that you respect those both for your own safety and the safety and comfort of others. We hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable evening and we hope to see some of you again tomorrow for Ladies Day, always one of the highlights of the season, where we have some great prizes to be won in our Best Dressed Lady and Best Hat competitions!

Best regards.

JAMES HUTCHINSON Managing Director

TODAY’S TIPS RACE

1

Marginal preference is for the El Kabeir filly BETWEEN THE SHEETS, who has shown glimpses of promise in her two starts in testing conditions. The 45,000gns purchase is half-sister to Group 2 winner Miss Amulet and she gets the vote ahead of Whistledown, who took a big step forward to finish second at Lingfield just nine days ago. The Kodiac filly, Zwift, displayed encouraging signs on debut and may battle for minor money.

WIN: BETWEEN THE SHEETS

RACE

2

The handicapper has loosened his grip on EXALTED LEADER since March and the son of Acclamation is given a chance in the hope that further improvement will be seen now stepping up to 1m2f. The pick of Sim Card’s form was when finishing second at Yarmouth over this trip in similar conditions and the Michael Bell-trained three-year-old warrants respect off the same mark. Love Of Zoffany completes the shortlist now sitting on his last winning mark with Jonny Peate claiming a handy 3lb in the saddle.

WIN: EXALTED LEADER

RACE

3

4 5

6 7

DANGER: MUKHAYYAM

Captain Vallo returned to action with a much-improved display at Hamilton, keeping on well for second. He has to be respected in this but MAYWAKE edges the vote. Richard Fahey’s gelding wasn’t particularly well fancied on his debut at Redcar, but he picked up really nicely late on to take second and could well build on that experience in this. Any support for William Haggas’ newcomer Monhammer is worth noting, while Improvised was slowly away on debut at Wolverhampton so could be better than that midfield effort.

WIN: MAYWAKE

RACE

DANGER: EXCEL POWER

FRANKLY MR SHANKLY has been knocking on the door of late and looks the one to beat here off a mark only 1lb higher than when second at Lingfield recently.

He is preferred to course-and-distance winner Mukhayyam, who was a respectable third at Musselburgh last time and was a winner at that venue off this rating earlier in the season. Handicap debutant Too Big To Fail and Bath third Chinese Whisperer are others to consider.

WIN: FRANKLY MR SHANKLY

RACE

DANGER: CONSERVATOIRE

MITROSONFIRE had been sniffing around at the business end in his early outings of 2021 and landed the victory he had been threatening at Pontefract recently. He won with a bit to spare there and, looking an improver with every run, could strike again under a 6lb penalty. Excel Power, who accounted for the selection (third) on his penultimate start, saw his three-race winning run come to an end in that aforementioned Pontefract event. That effort was too bad to be true and he could bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. It is difficult to see Kraken Power coming between that duo and he may have to settle for a minor role.

WIN: MITROSONFIRE

RACE

DANGER: SIM CARD

Although Conservatoire and Mystery Show hold the pick of the form in the race, they seem to relish testing conditions underfoot, and it may be best to look elsewhere. Instead, preference is for BOLLIN MARGARET, who thrived when stepping back to this trip at Wetherby eight days ago. Although she has to give weight away to all of her rivals, she sits on an appealing mark and should give a good account with David Allan returning to the saddle.

WIN: BOLLIN MARGARET

RACE

DANGER: WHISTLEDOWN

DANGER: CAPTAIN VALLO

MORTY was well supported on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last time and ran on well for second. David O’Meara’s charge gets another chance off the same mark here and could prove a tough nut to crack. Arnold was beaten less than a length at Wetherby two starts ago and was a solid second behind a runaway winner at Pontefract last time so could prove a danger to all in this, though perhaps top weight Cool Spirit, who won well at Musselburgh two starts ago, could prove a bigger threat to the selection.

WIN: MORTY

DANGER: ARNOLD

STAR RATING EXPLAINED Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

OFFICIAL BHA RATING The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

FIVE FURLONGS

This race is a five furlongs maiden stakes for two-year-olds. Maiden races provide a starGng point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts.

Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first Gme of asking.

There should be more to come from Michael Bell’s BETWEEN THE SHEETS, who was still in need of the experience when finishing a disappointing fourth at Sandown last month but is worth another chance to build on her debut promise here.

RACE DESCRIPTION

Selling Stakes exist as an outlet for connecGons to sell their horses. Any horse that wins a seller, such as this one mile 2 furlongs contest for three, four, five and six-year-olds is automaGcally put up for public aucGon in the Winners’ Enclosure at the end of the race and goes to the highest bidder, so make sure to head that way a•er the race as the aucGon is usually well worth seeing.

Like al handicaps on today’s card this means that should a horse rated 75 take part they would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

This is a one mile and two furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards fillies and mares which have been rated from 66 to 85. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap raGng which is based on their level of form shown so far.

The aim is to ensure compeGGve 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.

Horse

This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 71 to 90. To qualify for a handicap raGng horses must have run at least three Gmes 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 raGng then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this parGcular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

Horse

This is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 56 to 75. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap raGng this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced raGng whilst a strong performance could see the raGng increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap raGng has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

SIX FURLONGS

This six furlong contest for three-years-olds is another maiden stakes - a race for horses that have yet to record a racecourse victory.

There are a variety of reasons why horses in this race could sGll be maidens.

Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career.

PLAY SMARTER

MORTY arrives on the back of a promising handicap debut and looks likely to improve past a decidedly moderate bunch who are, in the main, much more exposed. Arnold is in good order and could pose a threat if breaking on terms, while Kyllachy Warrior is also capable of making an impact if things drop right.
