Swift Arrow expected to be competitive in Weatherbys Bank Handicap Chase
Swift Arrow will be the one to watch out for in the Weatherbys Bank Handicap Chase at Musselburgh in England on Monday, December 10, 2012. He is in pretty decent shape right now and will cause a lot of problems for his rivals in the class-3 encounter.
The talented gelding has managed to maintain a very good record in this format, thus it will not be easy to prevent him from taking the top spot in the end.
However, there are some other quality stallions lined up for action in the 2 mile contest, scheduled to kick off at 13:20 GMT. They will all be looking forward to a strong run today in order to bag a cash prize of £6,498.
The track conditions will definitely play an important role in determining the winner of the race. There has been a lot of rain in England over the past few weeks, thus a lot of venues have been affected.
Same is the case with Musselburgh, as the going has become good to soft on this racecourse. The organisers will be hoping for improved conditions before the start of action, but that does not seem likely at the moment.
No matter what the situation is, the participants will be looking forward to the race, as they are fully capable of coping up with such conditions.
The bookmakers believe that the competition will be quite a close one, but they have given the highest odds of victory to Hazy Tom, who has got a pretty decent record and knows how to deliver winning results.
The Charlie Longsdon’s trained gelding has got a very good winning percentage, which shows that he is a consistent performer. He was victorious in his most recent race and will be looking to repeat such a show yet again. He will not be concerned about the
ground, as he has appeared in rain affected events in the past.
On the other hand, Swift Arrow will also not mind running under such circumstances, as he is fully capable of achieving a positive result at Musselburgh. He has appeared in three chase events, winning two of them.
This is a clear indication that the Donald McCain’s trainee likes this format and has a strong chance of succeeding under jockey, Jason Maguire.
