Betfair Race Reviews Summary
13:50 Thu 28 December 2023 JACK DE BROMHEAD CHRISTMAS HURDLE (Grade 1) Distance 2m 7f 80y Prize €150,000 Race State Declaration Going HeavyISH POINT is on an upward curve and looks very much the way to go on the back of his stylish Down Royal success with this step up in distance also a likely plus. Last year’s victor Home By The Lee should ensure Gordon Elliott’s 5-y-o doesn’t have things all his own way though, with Asterion Forlonge not ruled out either now reverted to hurdles.
12:40 Thu 28 December 2023ISH DAILY STAR HANDICAP HURDLE Distance 2m 4f Prize €15,000 Age 4yo+ Runners 21 Going Heavy HELIKO CONTI made a positive start for his new stable when second at Punchestown a month ago and looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip, so he takes preference over West Away, who arrives on the back of success at Cork (with something to spare). Music of Tara is also respected.
12:30 Thu 28 December 2023 SKY BET ACCA FREEZE CONDITIONAL JOCKEYS’ HANDICAP CHASE (5) Distance 2m 3f 51y Prize £3,697 Age 4yo+ Runners 7 Going Soft (Heavy in places) Not a deep race so a repeat of the level TRAC achieved when second at Sedgefield a month ago will probably see him go one place better. Onenightintown, a stablemate of the selection, may give him most to think about.
