Adam Williams presents his prediction for the 2m Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Handicap (London Stayers’ Series Qualifier) (GBBPlus Race) (4yo+ 0-85) horse racing event.
Barenboim has finished fourth in each of his last five starts. That level of consistency is admirable, but given these have been modest handicaps, you would want to see him actually challenging for the win.
Macari landed three handicaps on the Flat last year and added another success over hurdles. A return to the Flat has marginally improved his form, but the trip remains a concern. Last time over two miles he could finish only second last.
Vice President’s four runs last year do not exactly inspire confidence for a win, but in this field he looks capable of getting involved for minor money.
Cruden ran four times last year, the first three over hurdles for James Ewart. He switched yards to Dan Horsford in December and returned to the Flat, producing an excellent second in a Wolverhampton handicap on his sole start that month, despite being sent off at 33/1.
Sax Appeal picked up a 5lb rise for his latest win at Southwell, but Warren Fentiman takes off the same allowance. In this line-up, he looks the one to side with.
