Betfair Race Reviews Summary

13:29 Sat 28 October 2023 EDINBURGH GIN CHASE (LIMITED HANDICAP) (2) Distance 3m 2f 39y Prize £26,015 Race State Declaration Going Good to Soft (Soft in places) EMPIRE STEEL evidently has something of a penchant for Kelso, making it 3-4 here when taking notable scalps in a listed race in March. Everything looks in place for a big run from Sandy Thompson’s charge and he is taken to get the better of another high-profile rival in Corach Rambler. The latter was a brilliant winner of the Grand National and may well have more to offer this season, but this could be the day to take him on (needed his reappearance run last term). Rapper is best of the rest.

13:15 Sat 28 October 2023 EPIC VALUE AT WILLIAM HILL HANDICAP CHASE (2) Distance 1m 7f 199y (Old) Prize £31,218 Race State Declaration Going Good (Good to Soft in places) HADDEX DES OBEAUX looked very progressive in a light campaign over fences last season and the handicapper hasn’t overreacted for his impressive win at Warwick last time. Triple Trade and Notlongtillmay are also firmly on the upgrade so are feared most.

20:00 Fri 27 October 2023ISH EBF MEDIAN SIRES SERIES MAIDEN (D.II) Distance 1m Prize €25,000 Race State Declaration Runners 14 Going Standard KEEPER’S HEART and Benvoy both arrive on the back of encouraging debut and may well dominate this, with the former (who achieved a bit more) taking marginal preference. Presence looks the pick of the newcomers.
