Lets All 'Go Racing In Yorkshire' Handicap

Off time: 19:34 | Winning time: 59.09s

(3)

Boom The Groom¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 88| D

10/1

Capable and experienced sprinter who was below his best when last seen at Epsom last month. Although he won on the AW at Wolverhampton in February, he struggles to get his head in front these days.

Form: 3-73168

(5)

Acclaim The Nation^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: E J Alston| OR: 87| D

5/2

Fair strike rate for a sprint handicapper and almost added to his winning tally when just touched off at Bath following a break. Looks a big player despite 2lb rise.

Form: 921-212

(4)

Henley⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 86| D

11/4

Scored at Thirsk and Pontefract last season but two runs this season have been ordinary. The handicapper has dropped him to his last successful mark so a return to wining ways is not impossible.

Form: 5100-80

(2)

Seen The Lyte^h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 82| D

10/1

Winner of four handicaps last season and was generally consistent. Fair effort on seasonal reappearance at Redcar, but not so good in a first-time hood at Pontefract last time and it is surprising the headgear is retained.

Form: 1344-35

(6)

Canford Bay¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁷⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 77| BF| CD

2/1

Successful over C&D last month and ran well again on subsequent start at Doncaster. Has to cope with a 6lb higher mark, but clearly likes it here and, as an in-form sprinter, has to be considered.

Form: 273315

(7)

Classic Pursuit^v²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 77| D

25/1

Showed little in three runs for Stef Keniry and starts out for a new trainer with something to prove. Handicap mark is on the slide.

Form: 759880

Longroom³⁸

Weight: 9-0| Age: 7

T: N Wilson J: Connor Beasley

Forecasts

Canford Bay (2/1), Acclaim The Nation (5/2), Henley (11/4), Longroom (8/1), Seen The Lyte (10/1), Boom The Groom (10/1), Classic Pursuit (25/1)

Boom The Groom is capable of taking this, but does not win too often these days. Canford Bay likes it here and is respected and Henley is down to his last winning mark, but the vote goes to ACCLAIM THE NATION, who ran really well at Bath last time and should be hard to beat despite a 2lb rise in the weights.
