Race Description This race is a six furlongs maiden stakes for three-year-olds only. Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly raced or be making their racecourse debuts Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking.

PLAY SMARTER

WILLIAM DEWHIRST showed much improved form when runner-up at Pontefract last month, losing out only on the nod having finished strongly, and he can go one better with further progress to come. Leap Day has placed on both of his starts so far and is feared most, ahead of Aclaim To Fame.
