Race Description

Juvenile races are designed solely for three-year-olds in order to allow the younger horses to gain valuable experience by racing against each other before taking on their older, more battle-hardened rivals. Initially, every runner in this two miles and half a furlong hurdle race is allotted 11st (fillies 10st 7lb), before previous winners are given a penalty. A winner of a hurdle race will receive a 7lb penalty and winners off 2 hurdle races, 12lb.

PLAY SMARTER

TROJAN HORSE created a good impression when making his second start in this sphere a winning one at Fontwell last month and has plenty of scope to do better again judged on Flat ability, so he’s fancied to defy a penalty. Blueking d’oroux folded tamely on his British debut at Cheltenham but his French form suggests he’s capable of much better, while State Legend is the pick of the hurdling newcomers before market clues.
