The Wetherbys Supersprint at Newbury on Saturday looks a very difficult race to crack.

The race is confined to horses that were sold as yearlings at a sale administered at Tattersalls for 48,000 guineas or less. Allowances for each 3,000 guineas paid under 48,000 guineas is 1lb.

This clearly gives the more cheaply purchased animals the chance of winning a large pot.

Favourites have won two of the last 10 runnings and winners have been fairly prominent in the betting with only one not coming from the first five in the market.

Horses drawn high have had the best of it over the past 10 years but it is worth noting that two have won from stall 1 in the past four years.

The most successful trainers over the past decade are Richard Hannon with three winners and four placed from a total entry of 36 and Tim Easterby with two winners and two placed from nine runners. Hannon is again mob handed with eight entries and the best looks to be Penny´s Gift.

Her form at Royal Ascot when second to Cuis Ghaire in the Albany Stakes looks pretty classy in the context of this race. Having been purchased for only 10,000 guineas she has only 8st to carry and must have a very good chance.

If the going came up soft another to consider would be the Kevin Ryan-trained Senor Mirasol. He kept on well on easy ground over 5f at Catterick to win in a good time and will be well suited by the step up to 6f.
