Race Description

Some races can often prove very popular with owners and trainers and as a result more horses are declared to run than the official safety limit allows for To avoid horses being denied a run which is obviously disappointing for connections, the British Horseracing Authority has allowed the previous race to be split into two divisions, with each contest carrying identical race conditions

Leading course trainer (17-22): T Easterby (38 wins from 470 runners, 8%) runs LITTLE TED

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): R Carr (2 wins from 11 runners, 18%) runs MAKALU up in trip Work to do on handicap debut.

Longest Traveller: SPARTAKOS trained by K Scott, Galashiels, 139 miles.
