Eastward Ho expected to thrive in Tennent´s Lager Handicap
In the backdrop of his two outstanding victories of June, the Jason Ward trained chestnut gelding seems to be a favourite prospect for the Tennent´s Lager Handicap that is going to be held at Ayr racecourse on Tuesday, August 14.
The four-year-old veteran horse is likely to show convincing run against 11 rivals. A Good to firm track of 1 mile is ready to taste his feet. On winning, he will bring home £6,663.
The brilliant son of Resplendent Glory out of Mofeyda has been enjoying great form since the dawn of the calendar year. After finishing 5th in the 14-runner race of the "Highly Commended" Pontefract Loyalty Card Handicap (Div I) at Pontefract
on April 10, the maverick sprinter finished as the runner-up in the Marshal - tyregiant.com Handicap that took place at Beverley on June 13.
The Miss Vivian Pratt owned experienced gelding nicely grabbed a grand victory in the Racing Again On Monday 9th July Handicap, held at Ripon on June 21.
In the very next start named as Multifab Metals Engineering & Fabrication Handicap, the gelding again notched up top spot despite being a non-favourite candidate.
Eastward Ho went on to finish third against 13 worthy rivals in the Ripon-Races.co.uk Handicap that took place on July 21.
In the light of these impressive stats, it will be quite logical to claim that Eastward Ho can easily thrive in the coming contest provided he manages to get rid of Santefisio in the early stage of the race.
The Keith Dalgleish trained bay gelding has won 4 of his total 31 starts so far. Since the beginning of 2012, the veteran horse has registered some outclass performances with three runner-up ranks being the most prominent.
It seems that the talented gelding is going to bag the first ever victory of this year today, but this will be fairly difficult for him as Eastward Ho is awash with winning momentum.
Whatever the results are, there will be witnessed a fierce battle between these two mighty geldings. A huge crowd of spectators are likely to enjoy the charged action a lot.
