LONGEST TRAVELLERS: HENRYTHENATE trained by C Fellowes & CALAFIORI trained by G Boughey, both Newmarket, 125 miles.
An unlucky loser on his nursery debut at Thirsk last week, CALAFIORI is taken to gain compensation off the same mark here.The only caveat is that this will be his first run away from turf, but it’s a pretty small caveat all things considered and his claims are otherwise very compelling. It’s reasonable to expect that Henrythenate and Campenaerts will both be seen in a better light now pitched into a nursery and they are feared most in that order of preference.

BLUE EMPRESS and Amber Honey both need to bounce back following comprehensive last-time-out defeats, but pretty much all of these have a bit to prove for one reason or another and, having slipped to a very attractive mark, Blue Empress earns the vote. Indeed, she was placed off significantly higher marks in back-to-back C&D handicaps during the spring and will hopefully settle better than she did at Brighton last time Previous course winner Amber Honey is second choice ahead of Dandy G Boy.

Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): D Evans (66 wins from 548 runners, 12%) runs EARLY RELEASE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): Dr R Newland & J Ins (3 wins from 30 runners, 10%) runs HIDDEN VERSE WEIGHTWATCHER: MASTER DANDY won off a handicap mark of 67, his rating is now down 6lb to 61. LONGEST TRAVELLER: BUST A MOON trained by I W McInnes, Catwick, 141 miles.
It’s hard to get away from HIDDEN VERSE, who escapes a penalty for his recent decisive success at Chepstow and, though 0-3 on the all-weather, he performed with credit on his sole previous visit here during the spring. A winner of two of her last three starts and open to further improvement, Fancy Dancer is the clear main danger ahead of Dark Dreamer and South Dakota Sioux.
