5th of 7

The Four Sixes led but raced keenly. Intellotto passed him on the home turn before the second-last hurdle, and he weakened before the last to finish fifth of seven. His early lead did not turn into a sustained finishing effort.

Horse did not win

Hardy Du Seuil (FR)

Pertemps Network Jean & Paul Lucas Memorial Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Race winner
Fringill Dike

Hardy Du Seuil disputed the early lead but was passed after the fourth fence. He came under pressure before three out and was outpaced by Fringill Dike when slow at the second-last. He finished second of five, beaten 23 lengths, without threatening the winner late on.

15:34

STRATFORD

Horse won

Crac De Megaudais (FR)

Roy G. T. Clark 100th Birthday Memorial Handicap Chase

Finish
1st of 7
Race winner
Crac De Megaudais

Crac De Megaudais raced prominently and took the lead late in the race. Bahtiyar passed him after the second-last, but he rallied on the run-in and regained the lead near the finish. He won by half a length, producing the day’s only lay loss.

16:07

NEWTON ABBOT

Horse did not win

Anytrixwilldo (IRE)

DGM Robotic Mowers Conditional Jockeys Handicap Chase

Finish

Anytrixwilldo led early, lost the lead at the twelfth fence and regained it at the sixteenth. He was passed before the second-last and kept on at one pace to finish third of five behind Daring Plan. He stayed involved for much of the race but could not match the finish of the first two.

16:25

MARKET RASEN

Horse did not win

Synchronist (IRE)

Pertemps Network Novices Handicap Chase

Finish
5th of 5
Race winner
Cap Ricochet

Synchronist raced prominently and briefly led four fences from home, despite an earlier untidy jump. He was passed before the next fence and weakened from two out, finishing last of five behind Cap Ricochet. His move to the front proved short-lived.

17:20

LEOPARDSTOWN

Horse did not win

Romayan (IRE)

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Nursery Handicap

Finish
7th of 7
Race winner
City Of Gold

Romayan raced towards the rear and could make no impression with less than two furlongs remaining. He dropped to last over a furlong out and weakened, finishing seventh of seven behind City Of Gold. He never mounted a serious late challenge.

Looking ahead

What we learned / things to watch

Early leads did not last for The Four Sixes or Synchronist, while Anytrixwilldo kept on at one pace. Keep checking how strongly a horse finishes, rather than relying on its early position.

Hardy Du Seuil’s second was a distant one; Crac De Megaudais fought back to win narrowly. Read the margins and race comments alongside the placing to see how close each result really was.
