RACE DESCRIPTION Selling races exist as an outlet for connections to sell their horses. Any horse that wins a ‘seller’ such as this two miles and three and a half furlongs hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards, is automatically put up for public auction in the Winners’ Enclosure at the end of the race and goes to the highest bidder The auction is often well worth seeing, so make sure to head that way after the race.

PLAY SMARTER

MARAJMAN has been better than the result on his last two outings and, returned to hurdling with Brian Hughes booked, he could be the answer to a tricky race. Captain Jack looks a solid alternative and On The Wild Side would be a major player if back in form
