Betfair Race Reviews Summary

14:55 Mon 23 October 2023 SRI LANKA, THE JEWEL OF ASIA HANDICAP (2) Distance 5f 21y Prize £15,462 Age 3yo+ Surface Turf Runners 8 Going Heavy A few with chances but KORKER looks on a good mark reverted to handicaps on the back of a good Ascot listed second so edges the vote. Chipstead came home fifth in that race and merits consideration too along with 3-time C&D winner Spoof and the consistent Navello.

14:15 Mon 23 October 2023 TROTTENDEN SUSSEX CATTLE NOVICES’ HURDLE (4) Distance 1m 7f 195y Prize £4,901 Race State Declaration Going Soft (Good to Soft in places) WESTERN SOLDIER, a useful performer on the Flat in Germany, was a close third on his recent hurdles debut at Sedgefield and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to strike. If Sangiovese takes to hurdles at the first attempt and handles the likely testing conditions, he could be the one to emerge as the main danger. Irish challenger Flidais also enters calculations, while Onewayortother remains of interest but there’s a suspicion that he’ll need better ground.

13:25 Mon 23 October 2023 VISIT SRI LANKA AMATEUR JOCKEYS’ HANDICAP (6) Distance 1m 3f 99y Prize £3,576 Age 3yo+ Surface Turf Runners 12 Going Heavy CHERRYHAWK can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D second so is fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough success at the chief expense of Fair Dinkum, who should find this stiffer stamina test under these conditions to his benefit. Ship To Shore appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
