SKYCUTTER

LAST TIME OUT | Wednesday 24th November We last came together on Wednesday 24th October for an exciting afternoon of Jumps Racing. It was certainly a day for favourites, with four out of the six races being claimed by market leaders.

The start of the day’s racing was claimed by the Rose Dobbin trained Trooper Turnbull. Although a relatively small field of four runners went to post for this handicap chase, Conor O’Farrell easily led the horse to a three length victory from the only other finisher, Away At Dawn and Brian Hughes.

The second race of the day saw the second largest field of nine go to post, headed by market leader Skycutter and Thomas Dawson. The Philip Kirby runner raced a little freely in the opening stages but was shaken up following two from home, and went on to win comfortably by six and a half lengths from the OIiver Greenall trained Patient Dream. Patient Dream took keen hold during the opening stages, but blundered over the second last which inevitably sealed his fate; he failed to keep up with Skycutter following this.

Jonathan Burke has enjoyed a 32% strike rate over the last 14 days, with seven wins from 22 rides. The 1.45 saw an extension of that strike rate when, despite only two runners completing this handicap chase, a very smart chaser in the form of Oscar Roberts claimed victory over the 16/1 outsider in the race Victory Echo.

Oscar Roberts easily won by an incredibly impressive 96 lengths, leaving Victory Echo well behind when clearing the second from

TROOPER TURNBULL

home. The second favourite in the race, the Sue Smith trained Thelongwayaround performed disappointingly on his first run after a 249 day break. He didn’t jump fluently, lost a lot of ground on the turn for home and was well behind the leaders when unseating Ryan Mania two from home.

The 2.20 novices’ hurdle did not disappoint, with eight runners going to post for the contest.

A very fitting win came in the form of five-year-old East Street, in the infamous green and yellow quarters of racing stalwart Trevor Hemmings. Despite not jumping fluently over all the fences, he was pushed along by Ryan Mania to secure his first win of the day, and kept on well to win by half a length from the Sam England trained Kinondo Kwetu.

The penultimate race on the card saw just two runners compete for this handicap chass, following three withdrawals from other runners.

Darling Du Large comfortably edged out the evens favourite Cedar Hill , who seemed to lose stamina up the run in and proved no match for the eventual winner.

The final race on the card came in the form of a two mile bumper, reserved for four to six year olds. This race consisted of ten runners; the biggest field of the day, with 22/1 shot Shighness claiming victory for Micky Hammond. She raced prominently and was pushed along in the final furlong, to win comfortably from 4/5 favourite Peerless Beauty and Fergal O’Brien.

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

Official BHA Rating The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions.

A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

Form Guide The figures in red display the horse’s previous form, with the number denoting finishing position. The number on the right shows the runners most recent result, with abbreviations used also. A layoff from racing is shown with either - or /.

CD - Course and distance winner; BF - Beaten favourite; F - Fell; B - Brought down; P - Pulled up; R - Refused; S - Slipped up; U - Unseated rider; R - Ran out.

The form guide is provided to help you pick which horse will carry your money in the race. Read the Timeform comment carefully and try to weigh up the horse’s previous runs against the conditions of the race.

THE BUZZ

by Wetherbee

RACE ONE

BARONY LEGENDS was an emphatic winner on his hurdles debut at Lingfield when scoring by a wide margin. The five-year-old gelding has to carry a 6lb penalty for that success, but that might not be enough to stop him here. Hillcrest is likely to be the chief threat after he showed a determined attitude to land the spoils at Aintree last month, while Sameem improved on his hurdling debut to finish a fair third behind the progressive A Different Kind at Sedgefield last month and he looks one to keep an eye on further down the line.

WIN: BARONY LEGENDS

DANGER: Hillcrest

RACE TWO

LITTLE ORANGE shaped well when posting an encouraging second behind a well-backed favourite at Sedgefield last month. The seven-year-old gelding competes off the same mark here and he gets the nod to capitalise in this lower grade. Shore Shanty is entitled to come forward for his seasonal return at Worcester now having his second run after wind surgery, while Mill Race King is unlikely to be far away if building on his latest third at Catterick.

WIN: LITTLE ORANGE

DANGER: Shore Shanty

RACE THREE

MISTER SWEETS showed a determined attitude when scoring on his handicap debut at Market Rasen last month. The six-year-old gelding was given a 4lb rise for that success and he has the scope to continue his progress, now tackling this longer trip. Bean In Trouble was just held when finishing a close third at Exeter and he is likely to be in the mix if building on that performance, while Go Chique is also considered.

WIN: MISTER SWEETS

DANGER: Bean In Trouble

RACE FOUR

Minella Till Dawn is of interest on his seasonal/stable debut as he brings good Irish form to the table and might be rejuvenated for his new surroundings. Castle Robin won on his chase debut at Exeter and boasts a good record at this distance, but the verdict is for SAINT PALAIS at the opposite end of the weights. He won with plenty in hand on his seasonal/chase debut at Worcester and there could be more to come.

WIN: SAINT PALAIS

DANGER: Castle Robin

RACE FIVE

HAAFAPIECE won well at this venue in October and a 5lb rise in the weights might not be enough to prevent another bold showing for last year’s winning stable. Romeo Brown gets in under bottom weight and has to be respected following an easy Hexham triumph, while you can throw Ornua into the mix as well. He won a Grade 1 over fences when trained by Henry de Bromhead.

WIN: HAAFAPIECE

DANGER: Romeo Brown

RACE SIX

GERYVILLE made a bright start to his career in the UK when running out an impressive winner here in October and the manner of that victory suggests the step up to 3m is unlikely to pose any concern. Tallow For Coal won on his second outing over fences at Worcester and he is likely to be in the mix along with Alkopop, who improved when sent handicapping over hurdles last season, and Sidi Ismael.

WIN: GERYVILLE

DANGER: Tallow For Coal

RACE SEVEN

CHIC AVENUE makes plenty of appeal on her racecourse debut for Pam Sly, who took this contest last year with the smart Eileendover, and the daughter of Champs Elysees is expected to know her job. Bounce Back comes from a decent Flat family, with her dam being a half-sister to James Garfield, and she is capable of going close, while others for the shortlist include Fortuitous Favour and Dooby.

WIN: CHIC AVENUE

DANGER: Bounce Back

Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the official start of the season, towards the end of April although for wins between 1st March and the end of the season they may continue to contest novice races until the end of the following October. This particular two miles and five-and-a-half furlongs novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than two hurdle races.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a two miles and three-and-a-half furlongs handicap steeple chase for four-yearolds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 105. This race is additionally open to horses rated 106 and 107. 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 lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 0 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 107.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a three miles and 26 yards handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 115. This race is also open to horses rated 116 and 117. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 115 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 110.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a three miles and half a furlong handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 135. This race is additionally open to horses rated 136 and 137.

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 7lb.

PLAY SMARTER

SAINT PALAIS created an excellent impression when opening his account at Worcester and is fancied to make light of a 7lb rise and follow up. Castle Robin also took his form up a notch when scoring on his return at Exeter and is feared most. Sirwilliamwallace appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

HORSE WELFARE Here at Wetherby Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries, and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care. At every meeting we have three specially qualified Equine Vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. There is also a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer in attendance.

During the race three vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating the injured jockeys.

It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected round the horse. It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy. Please do not assume the worst.

KEVIN MEGSON

CHEERS JACKO! Today we are celebrating the life of a very loved and much missed husband, father, son and friend. Andrew was a big supporter of horse racing, particularly at Wetherby, so there couldn’t be a more fitting place to celebrate him. We want to wish everyone a successful and joyful day at the races today; place a bet, cheer on your winner and raise a glass to Andrew. Cheers Jacko!

There will be a collection at the end of racing which will be split equally between two charities important to the Jackson family; the Injured Jockey’s Fund to give something back to an industry that gave Andrew so much, and Brake, The Road Safety Charity who have provided invaluable support to the family.

The stable runs ROMEO BROWN today.

Longest Traveller: BENNY’S BRIDGE trained by S Drinkwater, Strensham, 168 miles.

RACE DESCRIPTION This two miles handicap hurdle race has been designed for three-year-olds and upwards which are rated from 0 to 140. This race is additionally open to horses rated 141 and 142. In most National Hunt handicaps, there is a minimum weight of 10st so any horse whose official rating would allocate them less than that still has to shoulder that burden. The horses that fall into this category are said to be racing from ‘out of the handicap’ – usually a distinct disadvantage.

PLAY SMARTER

A competitive novice handicap. TALLOW FOR COAL appeals as one who should have more to come on the back of his Worcester success and can make light of a 6lb rise.

Geryville’s winning start for his new stable over a shorter trip here 5 weeks ago came as a bit of a surprise based on his 40/1 SP but there was no fluke about it and he may provide the chief threat ahead of Big Nasty.

RACE DESCRIPTION As the title suggests, a National Hunt Flat Race, or ‘bumper’ as they are more commonly referred, is a race that takes place without any fences or hurdles. Designed for young horses that, it is presumed, will go jumping in time, this race differs from a usual bumper in that it is restricted to those making their debuts this afternoon. Horses that have previously run in a bumper, on the Flat, in hurdle races or steeplechases, or Point-to-Points are barred from entry. This particular contest is restricted to three-yearold horses and will be run over one mile, four furlongs and 77 yards.
