EIGHTH RACE | 5.58

THE SKY BET BUILDABET HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) (DIV II)

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 (37 wins from 471 runners, 8%) runs GIVE IT SOME TEDDY

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

Weightwatcher: MAGICAL EFFECT won off a handicap mark of 69, his rating is now down 7lb to 62.

Longest Traveller: FORWARD FLIGHT trained by K P De Foy, Newmarket, 185 miles.

2022:(See Div 1)

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No. 10. Hood worn by No. 2. Blinkers worn by No. 12. Tongue Strap worn by No. 11. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 11.

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
