Happy 70th Birthday Brian Glanville Handicap

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
5.20
Winner
Safari Dream
Horse result
3rd of seven

What worked

The Coffee Pod kept on, but lacked the pace to challenge the front two and finished third behind Safari Dream.

What to watch

He stayed on through the closing stages and finished close to the first two, making this the day's tightest successful lay.

Jacky Rylance 60th Birthday Celebration Handicap

Outcome
LAY LOST
Recommended lay
6.40
Winner
Free World
Horse result
Won by 7 lengths

What went wrong

Free World made all, opened a clear lead from two furlongs out and was eased late after winning by 7 lengths.

What to watch

He was allowed to control the pace from the front; an uncontested lead over this trip was the key warning sign.

Ken Meredith Memorial Race Handicap (Div 2)

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
5.70
Winner
Kaleidoscope Eyes
Horse result
6th of eight

What worked

Cosmic Jive was pushed along from midfield more than three furlongs out and gave no response, finishing sixth behind Kaleidoscope Eyes.

What to watch

He held a midfield position before the pace lifted, leaving him close enough to challenge if he had found more.

18:30 · Roscommon

Glitz And Glamour (IRE)

DNG Ivan Connaughton Handicap Hurdle

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
9.60
Winner
She'll Be Kept
Horse result
11th of 15, tailed off

What worked

Glitz And Glamour weakened before three out and finished 11th, tailed off behind She'll Be Kept.

What to watch

She had raced prominently and sat fourth halfway, but that early position did not last.

19:00 · Roscommon

Piccolo Player (IRE)

J.F. Hanley Groundscare Beginners Chase

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
7.00
Winner
Hashtag Pretender
Horse result
3rd of seven, well beaten

What worked

Piccolo Player had no extra after the second-last and finished a well-beaten third behind Hashtag Pretender.

What to watch

He did make headway before three out and moved into a place, but could not sustain it.

19:30 · Roscommon

Another Challenge (IRE)

Kepak Handicap Chase (0-100)

Outcome
LAY LOST
Recommended lay
11.00
Winner
Another Challenge
Horse result
Won by 7 lengths

What went wrong

Another Challenge raced prominently, took over before two out and kept on readily to win by 7 lengths.

What to watch

He raced wide, but it did not blunt his finish; his forward position kept him away from trouble.

20:18 · Lingfield

D Day Major Winter

Download The At The Races App Handicap

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
3.45
Winner
Offiah's Boy
Horse result
5th of six

What worked

D Day Major Winter remained towards the rear, made no progress when pushed along and finished fifth behind Offiah's Boy.

What to watch

The winner controlled the race from the front, leaving those held up needing to make ground; D Day Major Winter could not do so.

What we learned / things to watch

Cosmic Jive, Glitz And Glamour and D Day Major Winter all failed to improve when asked. The Coffee Pod was the one to keep in perspective because he stayed on and finished close to the first two.

Both losses came from horses that raced prominently and then went clear. The practical check is to give extra weight to likely uncontested leaders and runners able to hold a forward position.
