William Hill Epic Boosts Handicap (Div 1)

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
7th	1	16	An Outlaw's Grace (G) P Near useful as a juvenile but has stood little racing since. Drawn on the wing, which isn't ideal, but he at least benefits from a drop in grade having finished last of 7 on reappearance at Lingfield…	620354	S M Levey R Hannon	4	62.1kg	15 14/1
9th	2	8	Quest For Fun (G) T Plenty of creditable efforts under similar conditions last year, though finished his season on a low note over C&D and his record first time up isn't anything special.	955303	Sean Kirrane T D Easterby	8	61.7kg	17 16/1
4th	3	2	It'sneverjustone (G) Much improved when landing second leg of a double at the Galway Festival last summer and while unable to land a blow in higher grades subsequently, he's not discounted with sights lowered on return.	085-446	Rossa Ryan D Loughnane	4	61.7kg	6.50 11/2
5th	4	4	Packetofbiscuits (G) B Narrowly denied a 7f Southwell hat-trick by a similarly progressive sort (who's won again since) last time. No reason he shouldn't translate that form back onto turf and looks likely to be in the mix…	112507	P J McDonald J Mackie	4	60.8kg	10 9/1
6th	5	1	Under The Twilight (M) Form tailed off at the end of last season but as a result, she's 4 lb lower than when finishing 2 lengths third in this race 12 months ago (having won on reappearance the previous season). Not ruled …	8-62441	Harry Davies M Blake	8	60.3kg	12 11/1
1st	6	5	Jimmy Speaking (G) FAV Hit a purple patch last summer but had well and truly gone off the boil when tenth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth in October. Looked a tricky ride that day, too.	0-11294	Marco Ghiani C A Dwyer	5	60.3kg	4.33 10/3
10th	7	13	Nakaaha (F) H Struggled in higher grades following a double (under this rider) at Newbury/Ffos Las last summer, for all she might have been unsuited by soft ground on latest start in September.	255610	D Egan G Harris	4	59.9kg	41 40/1
11th	8	12	Green Pursuit (G) Made a winning reappearance at Catterick last spring and having not been seen to best effect on stable debut here in October, he could be worth another chance off a workable mark.	20-0535	D Swift S Spencer	4	59.4kg	26 25/1
2nd	9	10	Grabajabba (H) V Close third on turf debut over C&D this time last year and looked as good as ever when filling the same position in 12-runner handicap at Southwell on latest start. Was allowed his head (following a …	461532	Alistair Rawlinson M Appleby	5	59kg	13 12/1
16th	10	7	Tactical Plan (G) Creditable fourth in C&D handicap before running right up to his best when close second at Redcar on latest start in November and while these conditions won't be an issue, he's perhaps best on soft/h…	2-04804	H Crouch E A L Dunlop	4	58.5kg	11 10/1
3rd	11	6	Backspin (G) Again started slowly when sixth of 13 in handicap at Southwell on final start for Richard Hughes in October (changed hands for 14,000 gns later that month). Headgear left off for stable debut and pro…	55246-3	Connor Beasley G Tutty	4	58.5kg	34 33/1
14th	12	3	Just Queen High (F) B Made it 2-2 at Nottingham in 6f handicap that was run to suit (heavy) in October, seemingly much improved for first-time blinkers/testing too, though she's far from certain to build on that under dif…	71-0909	L Morris Dylan Cunha	4	58.1kg	26 25/1
12th	13	11	Golden Strike (G) V Dual turf winner (ground versatile) who's shaped well since a bounce back victory at Newcastle, coming home well behind a subsequent winner who got first run there last time. Hopefully they'll go qui…	122017	O J Orr R A Fahey	5	57.6kg	4.50 7/2
13th	14	14	Beauty Choice (G) Went close on latest turf start at Catterick in October and having not been seen to best effect on either all-weather run this year, he's one to consider off 3 lb below his latest winning mark.	70-4400	Lewis Chalkley M & D Easterby	9	56.7kg	15 14/1
8th	15	15	Alfa Whiteburd (G) Fine second off lower turf mark on seasonal reappearance at York last season and having undergone another breathing operation since finishing midfield in Newcastle handicap in January (cheekpieces no…	7-68211	Jason Hart I Furtado	5	56.2kg	29 28/1
15th	16	9	Victory Sound (G) Showed nothing for new yard last season and arrives with plenty to prove.	007336	Tom Kiely-Marshall M D I Usher	4	54.4kg	81 80/1
