Pre-race Summary


APRIL 21st SUMMING UP	As with the claimer at Bath today the weight allowances have produced a close and open race on profile. None of the runners look capable of 'outclassing the others and therefore the effect of the draw, professional starts, etc. will be much more important than in a a maiden with more mixed ability. Baytown Lulu ran yesterday and did not show improved form but with experience and receiving up to 19lbs from other runners she comes out top in profile but with no real confidence. The race she ran in yesterday highlights a point to consider for this race because outsiders finished first and second there. Part of the reason for this was the 'better' runners setting too strong a pace for themselves because they had to 'race' each other in a close affair. Of the runners here Half Pint Bill, Sky Lodge, Dancing Edge and Sadie are likely to press the pace which may be a disadvantage. In summary a low level 'handicap' with none of the runners having a real 'edge'.
RACE QUALITY:	Usually a typical early season claimer with a performance around 60-62 required to win and contested by limited types that will show little progress. The race normally includes only minor seller level later winners.
SIRES:	First season sires Arkadian Hero (Arkadian Blues), Carrowkeel (El Barco) & Mull Of Kintyre (Saddell) have runners.
