Quick Early Comments
DYSART ENOS is favourite
She is a 6yo mare
6 career runs
3 hurdles
3 bumpers
The Racing Post podcaster
Seems rather full of hyperbole
Coming out with this little gem
"The best-handicapped horse
in Britain and Ireland"
If you go by Racing Post Ratings
Those comments are ridiculous
Her figures of hurdles 117 123 121
But she runs off a rating of 131
Yes she's a triple bumper winner
Including a a graded class bumper
But that was only a mares race
In terms of the Greatwood
6 year olds are only 3-82
Not the best age for the race
The 3 winning 6 year olds
Had 11 15 17 career runs
DYSART ENOS only has 6
Had 8 15 13 hurdle runs
DYSART ENOS only has 3
Horses aged 6
Under 11 career starts
Have a 0-30 record in this
DYSART ENOS 31st to try
None before her have won
17 of the last 19 winners
Had more hurdling experience
Horses Aged 6 or older
Coming from Class 2 or lower
Have a 0-79 record in this race
DYSART ENOS fails this as well
Not even factored in
That she is also a mare
She may go and win
But at 3/1 or shorter with her profile
Likely I will be opposing her
with a bigger odds alternate
