FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DABANA is a well bred Aga Khan castoff who could be worth following as she makes her handicap debut, stepping up in distance. By Iffraaj, there is stamina in her dam's side and indeed raced over a mile as a juvenile. She likes this surface and competes from a workable mark under a 5lb claimer. Nine year old Bowerman's rating has fallen from a career high of 106 to just 73 this year and while he might prefer 1m4f these days, nonetheless ran very well here last time. Dalvey was well held in a recent hot hurdle but had previously shown form over CD but now runs in a first-time visor. Cristal Clere was raised 4lb following a useful effort in a smart race last month while Finans Bay won over CD last October and was bought by new connections for 45,000gns subsequently, but lacks a run.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards (95 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
