Verdict

Though LUCKY LYREEN has failed to get competitive in a trio of maiden chases, he is of strong interest back up in trip on his handicap debut in this sphere, off a mark some 10 lb below his current hurdles mark. Al Kalila was a shade disappointing at Ayr last time but remains of interest judged on his chase debut second at Kelso, while Diamond Dollar is bidding for a third win on the bounce and is also accorded respect, along with Duffys Hodey.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

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.

Workout

A workout is a timed sprint over varying distances prior to a race, meant to get a horse fit enough for competition.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
