Formscan By Michael Graham - DAVID GARRICK looks a good ride for Yudish Geerdharry. This Zoffany gelding hasn't been seen since finishing runner-up in a Grade 2 hurdle at this track in November. Effectively, he is running off a lowly mark of 47 with Geerdharry's 7lb claim factored in. He has form on soft ground and should appreciate this staying trip if fully wound up on his return to action. Cafe Con Leche's form can be in and out, but he is better on rain-softened ground and he won't be afraid of this company. There are no fitness issues for Blackstone Cliff who kept on to dead-heat for third on soft ground at Navan just under a fortnight ago. Herculaneum kept on for third in Tramore and there was plenty of promise in that run as he has been extensively campaigned over hurdles in the last two years.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards (70 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
Riders - Apprentices who hold an Apprentice Licence under Rules of Racing issued by any recognised Turf Authority and who have not lost the right to claim the 7lb allowance (30 winners) Allowances - (up to and including 24th July and which are not cumulative) Apprentices who have not ridden 5 *winners allowed..........7lb Apprentices who have not ridden 10 *winners allowed..........4lb Apprentices who have not ridden 30 *winners allowed..........2lb *Including races under any N.H. Rules
