Newmarket Race 7

HKJC World Pool Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Prize Money: $55,350

STUDY OF WORDS (1) represents leading connections. The three-year-old maintained a progressive record during his first season after an easy and impressive 15L victory in a course and distance maiden last October. Looks hard to beat on return. Bidding for a hat-trick CROCKHAM HEATH (5) has been improving with each outing after securing a 3.25L success in a lower level 1900m handicap at Wolverhampton AW during January. Big claims. SAHARA KING (2) made a winning debut last November gaining a narrow novice triumph at Wolverhampton AW before a 2000m fifth at Newbury two weeks ago. Progress expected. GATEHOUSE (4) bids for a hat-trick following a Southwell AW handicap win last month. Might feature.
