Hove Racing Manager Rob Abrey is “delighted” with the quality that has been entered in both the Coral Sussex Cup & PGR Regency, which start at the track on Saturday evening despite both competitions not receiving the full 36 runners that were required for the competitions worth £10,000 and £20,000 to the winners respectively
“We only received the 35 runners in the Coral Sussex Cup and 33 in the PGR Regency, but I’m delighted in the quality with the level of entry we received”
“All the big guns have been entered in the Regency, the only exception being Droopys Clue. Although he went well enough in a trial over the 695m last week, I don’t think the Cahill’s were happy with him after and didn’t want to take a chance with him, but there’s still the likes of Mongys Wild, Vhagar and Garfiney Blaze from the Mark Wallis kennel, while Romeo Empire has won all three starts over the 695m distance here at the track for Patrick Janssens”
“It’s the same with the Sussex Cup, all the big guns that have been recently have been entered. Proper Heiress looks to be the standout but you’ve got the likes of Patrick’s runners Romeo Tomcat and Slick Sentinel, King Memphis of the McNair’s has got plenty of good form here as has Chelms Bear for Craig Morris, while Maxine Locke’s Ballymac Axel and Ballymac Kobe have impressed in recent visits”.
“Some of the local runners look to be up against it on the betting, but there are 26 railers out of the 35 runners that have been entered, and even if they may have it to do on paper, their track knowledge could stand them in good order"
“Equally, there are only 3 wides entered so last year’s winner Newinn Benni has the potential of having decent draws throughout the competition, and the local runners have a good record in this competition over the years”
“I’m really looking forward to it, they are both excellent competitions and hopefully we will be able to see a couple weeks of exciting action!"
