Betfair Race Reviews Summary

13:55 Mon 16 October 2023 BRITISH STALLION STUDS EBF NOVICE STAKES (4) Distance 7f 3y Prize £5,373 Race State Declaration Runners 12 Going Soft (Heavy in places) Roger Varian won this with a debutant in the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid silks last year so GRACIOUS LEADER is the suggestion, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Shy Hi Bye, Dubawi Time and Granger Bay are other newcomers who make plenty of paper appeal in a race where the market is likely to be informative. Telemark may prove best of those with experience.

13:20 Mon 16 October 2023 GORESBRIDGE HANDICAP Distance 7f Prize €12,000 Age 3yo+ Surface Turf Runners 7 Going Heavy Having only found one too good in a big field at the Curragh last time, MOGWLI seems an obvious choice to make amends in this less-competitive environment. Wrist Art is the chief threat and Loingseoir can’t be ruled out.

16:35 Sun 15 October 2023 TOTE NEVER BEATEN BY AN SP APPRENTICE HANDICAP Distance 1m 2f 110y Prize €11,500 Age 3yo+ Surface Turf Runners 11 Going Soft (Soft to Heavy in Places) A chance is taken on LA DAME BLANCHE, who hasn’t been at her best of late but she’s been given a chance by the handicapper and better is expected back up in trip here in a first-time hood. Believe In Science also needs to bounce back but will have a good chance if able to do so, now 3 lb below the mark of which he was a creditable third on his reappearance in June. Alfalfa and the hat-trick seeking Red Trail are others to consider.
