Race Description
This is a two miles and half a furlong handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. 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 lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 0 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 100.

PLAY SMARTER LIME DROP had plenty to spare at Leicester a week ago, so he’s an obvious choice to defy the penalty up against more exposed types. Folly Gate arrives in form and has Paddy Brennan taking over for the first time, so he’s feared most, with Midnight Callisto hard to rule out having returned to form last time.
