Newbury Race 4 - Betvictor Horris Hill Stakes (Group 3)
TWELVE BARS (9) Really dug deep when winning last start at Kempton. Should jump out and bowl along. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Worth consideration. MEZZO FORTE (6) Looked good when 3rd last run at Newmarket and will find this grade easier. William J Haggas & England Haggas yard are on a hot streak and good career start. A win wouldn't surprise. GHOST RAIDER (2) Bold effort to win by 1 3/4L last run at Ffos Las and showing consistent performance in races. Has early speed and positions nicely. One of the major players. GOLDEN SOUK (3) Displayed potential when winning by 1 1/2L last time at Redcar and fitter for debut run. Well placed and has solid claims.

Started $15.00 and was making up some late ground when 4th last run at this venue and challenged by less formidable competitors. Might be ridden for luck. Prefer others.

Started $26.00 and not competitive when 5th last time at Newmarket but taking on a lower class of opponents. Billy Loughnane and Charlie Appleby are usually a competitive duo. Looking elsewhere today.

Nice run when 3rd last run at Newmarket and drops back to a suitable grade. Has not missed the money this preparation in 2 attempts. Definite contender.

Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 6L last start at Newmarket and showing consistent performance in races. Shows good early pace. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Good win by 2 1/4L last run at York and stepping down to a lower level. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 starts and promising career start. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Fought on well to win a tight contest last start at Kempton. Has plenty of early speed. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Has definite claims.
