Battlecry likely to thrive in Handicap Chase
Battlecry is likely to bag a sterling success in the Enillwyr Grand Slam Handicap Chase, a high-stakes Class 4 contest that will take place at Ffos Las racecourse on Wednesday, May 9.
When the action begins at 7:05 (GMT) on the soft track of 2 miles and 5 furlongs, the talented trainee of Nigel Twiston-Davies will run against 5 worthy rivals such as Qaspal, Carabinier, Cold Harbour, Romanesco and Backstreet Billy.
A prize cheque of £3,249 is ready for the supposed winner.
Battlecry gained a lot of confidence and fighting spirit by finishing as a runner-up in each of the last two outings of his career on March 28 and April 18, 2012. His last victory came on November 26, 2011.
Overall, the 44-race veteran horse has 5 classic triumphs to his name along with prize money of £120,695.
At the moment, the talented son of Accordion out of Miss Orchestra is packed with form and winning impetus that will lend a great hand to him in the coming contest. If the gelding runs to his best and capitalises well on his inherent capabilities without
taking pressure of the competitors, his chances to thrive in the Handicap Chase will be as high as 90 percent.
However, Backstreet Billy can trigger an upset in the game. The Richard Lee-trained brown gelding nicely grabbed top spot in his second last start on January 29, 2012. This was his maiden success that perked up his confidence level to a great extent.
Now, the gifted gelding is leading the betting market for today’s marathon. He will surely unleash a big run in the race in order to finish first.
Carabinier is also likely to do well in the contest. The Nicky Henderson-trained bay gelding has won two races in his career so far. His last success came on February 16, 2012. It was a big morale booster for him.
In this situation, there is likely to be a rip-roaring and awe-inspiring clash in the Chase. Let us see who manages to thrive. Good luck to all the horses.
