Race Description This race is a five furlong maiden stakes for two-year-old fillies 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

This could go the way of a newcomer, with SHEFFA taken to make a winning start for her leading connections. She makes plenty of appeal on paper and is preferred to fellow debutante Tallulabelle, who also catches the eye with her pedigree. Of those with experience, Tokyo Drift made a promising debut and could get back on track on less testing conditions.

THE BETTING BETTER WITH SKY BET HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)

for four yrs old and upwards ¨ Total prize fund £15000 Owners Prize Money. 1st £6194, 2nd £3098, 3rd £1548, 4th £774, 5th £387. (Penalty Value £7851)

Race Description This is a five furlong handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 66 to 85. 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 a lower rated rival As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

Race Description This contest is a Novice Stakes for three-year-olds, run over a distance of one mile and four furlongs There are a variety of reasons why the three-year-olds in this race are still light on experience

Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career

To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

NOTICES

Weights, Pedigrees, Trainers’ Names, Descriptions, Performances and Values of Races have been added for the convenience of the Public, but are subject to alteration.

All horses must parade in the Parade Ring except by permission of the Stewards, but in all cases must pass through the Ring on the way to the Post.

FIFTH RACE | 4.17

THE SKY BET HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3)

Race Description This is a seven furlong handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 71 to 90. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb

Leading course trainer (17-22): T Easterby (37 wins from 471 runners, 8%) runs DANZAN & SNASH

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): M Dods (9 wins from 41 runners, 22%) runs DIAMONDONTHEHILL

Race Description This is a six furlong handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 60. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage

COPPER AND FIVE is more than a stone lower in the weights than this time last season and shaped well with a recent run under his belt at Pontefract last time, so is fancied to score for the first time since September 2021. Little Jo is enjoying an Indian summer at the age of 9 but a 6lb rise for winning a weak contest at Nottingham last week asks for more, whilst Menelaus is entitled to be sharper for his return and should prove competitive from this sort of mark.

Stewards Note:

KING OF YORK: Following its run on 8/5/2023 it was reported that the horse was outpaced early-on.

CLEAR ANGEL proved his good effort in a big field at Doncaster was no fluke when producing a career best to score at Wetherby last time and he can defy a 6lb rise to follow up. Miss Britain is another progressive sort and should be in the mix if continuing on an upward curve for her new yard, with recent heavy-ground C&D winner Jack Daniel and Diamond Haze others to consider
