- Race Info
1st - £26,015.00 2nd - £11,960.00 3rd - £5,980.00 4th - £2,990.00 5th - £1,495.00 6th - £745.00
Formscan - Listentoyourheart accounted for Act Of Authority (fourth) in this grade at Windsor and is expected to confirm that form, despite the revised terms. John Barbour just did enough to strike at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve, which hasn't done his mark too much harm and he is respected. However, LIGHTNINGUPOURDAYS finished a promising third on his return from a break at Hereford just before Christmas and there is likely to be more under the bonnet on just his fourth outing in a handicap.
