2023 Abernant Stakes Tips
Creative Force has failed to win any of his previous five races, although the Charlie Appleby-trained charge has been operating in esteemed company. Therefore, we might expect the horse to be successful in the Abernant Stakes and perhaps punters should be too put off the fact that the five-year-old has found life tough when it comes to getting in the winners’ enclosure.
In the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Keeneland in early November, the Godolphin charge ran a creditable race when finishing third at betting odds of 15/2, with Caravel the shock winner although William Buick managed to steer the horse close to a victory. Previously to this, the runner was also in the frame when finishing third in the British Champions Sprint Stakes.
Not that this is a one-horse race and the horse racing betting odds suggest that the favourite is less likely to win than succeed. Ehraz is next in the market and the four-year-old has the ability to improve more because of his age, with trainer Richard Hannon no stranger to success at the Craven Meeting and perhaps we’ll see a winner here.
The four-year-old was third in the Cammidge Trophy Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse on heavy ground over six furlongs, with the runner a facile winner of a three-horse race at Newmarket back in October. Garrus was eighth in his most recent showing, although that was in a competitive heat at Riyadh and more could come from this runner.
