Race Description

This is a two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 140. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 140 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 135.

Stewards Note:

SKANDIBURG: Following its run on 26/11/2021 it was reported that the horse was struck into. Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Leoncavallo (IRE), 9-2 Masters Legacy (IRE), 5-1 Aggy With It (IRE), 11-2 Arrivederci (FR), 8-1 Cap Du Mathan (FR), 14-1 Birds of Prey (IRE), 16-1 Skandiburg (FR), 28-1 Canford Light (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

Plenty are in with a shout. AGGY WITH IT has a 10-month absence to overcome but bagged three wins last term and Dan Skelton’s low-mileage 8-y-o is fancied to return in style. Leoncavallo is feared most on the back of his good Doncaster second with Arriverdici weighted to go well if fully tuned up on his return.
