Race Description

This is a two and a half miles handicap hurdle race for novice 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 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

PLAY SMARTER BALIYAD arrives in good order and plenty of his rivals have something to prove, so he looks the solid option. Vazir is worth a mention down in grade and handicap debutante Ya Know Yaseff is potentially well treated based on point form, she’s one to consider if the market speaks in her favour.
