Race Description

Listed races are high class and only bettered by a Grade 1, 2 or 3 contests. In effect, it is an intermediate level; many of the runners in this two miles and half a furlong hurdle race will now have an official rating that makes it no longer feasible to run them in handicaps and will be using this race as a springboard to even better things. Initially, weight is allocated according to age, before penalties are given to horses that have previously won at this level or above. These penalties range from 3lb for a handicap success to 5lb for a Class 1 weight-for-age victory.

PLAY SMARTER

RAINYDAY WOMAN is fancied to take the next step up the ladder and provide Paul Nicholls with a fourth win in the last 8 runnings of this race. Ahorsewithnoname has twice filled the runner-up spot at this level and may provide the chief threat ahed of Lucy Wadham’s Lingfield scorer Game On For Glory.
