Verdict

Fergal O'Brien's CHICKER created an excellent impression when strolling clear in a Worcester bumper in August and can make light of a penalty to go 2-2 for his in-form yard. Dan Skelton's Le Beau Madrik shaped well when runner-up at Plumpton on his debut in the spring and could emerge as the main danger on his return, although Irish raider Bells Grove also has the form to play a part. Not Without Danger and Collanisi look to have better days ahead of them too and complete the shortlist.

Upcoming Races

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Blinkers

A hood worn on a horse’s head to limit side vision, which can improve concentration. Blinkers are added or removed to relax a horse or give it more focus.
