Bogged down with this race.
The Group race winners Trumpet Major & Farraaj should be too high in weights to win this and also the listed winner Burano.
Only 9 past races to interrogate but no horse won that had won higher than class 2.

The weight range favours 8-9 to 9-0 and only Michael Stoute won with higher weight when 4yo Confront woon with top weight 9-10.
His runner today, Bold Sniper has to overcome fact that no 12f winner has won this race yet.

David O'Meara is still experimenting with his two French purchases but whilst Tea For Two did win at Ripon the jockey on it that day rides at Thirsk and Donny today

Jockey's are important for this race as regular jockeys who have won on the horse account for 7 of the 9 races so far. The other two involved Andrew Balding taking over Tillius and end of season prior to winning this in 2012, and M.J putting up Fallon on on Tartan Gigha in 2010 when regular jockey Joe Fanning rode the other Tartan into 5th place.

Top trainers and a win at southern Grade 1 track are also a feature of past winners. Course winners have won three of the 9 races.

S.P range has been 9/2 to 12/1, but mainly looking between 8/1 to 12/1

It's a difficult race as Big Baz has only had three AW runs but [b]ROCK CHOIR[/b] ticks most of the boxes and William Haggas might take this again with his class 3 winner that has run it's last three races in listed company.


I'm watching out for Roger Charltons 3yo hcp runners. This is his better month for these races and he has quite a few entries lined up over next few days.
[b]STARS ABOVE[/b] might start the ball rolling today Nmkt 4.25

RESULTS UPDATE;
Rock Choir unplaced
The winner was Niceofyoutotellme.  That one had a faily high score
Stars Above 2nd unable to catch the front running winner.
