Verdict

JEU D'OPALE might be able to cope with a 9 lb rise for Wincanton. Second choice is Batwomen who had a possible excuse when beaten at a short price last time and could resume her progression after a breathing operation. Star of Affinity is next on the list.

Upcoming Races

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.

Yielding

A rain-soaked turf condition often producing a slick or heavy course and slower finish times.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.
