RACE DESCRIPTION This is a two mile five furlong race for four-year-olds and upwards. The majority of handicaps are designed for horses from with a specific ratings band but this particular race has no rating restrictions attached to it which allows horses with a higher rating to take part. Even so, the higher rated horses must still concede weight to their lower rated rivals, which tends to make open handicaps very competitive races.

PLAY SMARTER

ULVERSTON took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Bangor so is fancied to capitalise on a reduced mark here and get back to winning ways. In-form Glencassley rates a big threat provided he’s none the worse for his recent Ludlow fall, while Jet of Magic is not taken lightly either if backing up his Doncaster success in second-time cheekpieces.
