14:15 – In Memory Of Peter & Shirley Fryett Handicap

Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: 6.8) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This is a proper Redcar handicap puzzle rather than a race packed with obvious authority. Mayo County heads the market after a solid recent spell and is drawn to get involved, but he is hardly thrown in and there are a few lurking at bigger prices. Jesmond Dawn shaped better than the bare result before finishing second last time and looks one of the more interesting runners now back over 7f, while Dancing With Drums arrives in good heart and has the profile of one who can keep progressing in this grade. Mecca’s Symphony also has claims after a runner-up effort, though the wide draw asks a question. In a big field with four places on offer, this looks the sort of contest where track position and a well-timed ride will count for plenty.

Top Selections

1. Jesmond Dawn – 11/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Oliver Stammers | Trainer: Grant Tuer | Form: 780-72 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 70

Jesmond Dawn makes plenty of appeal in a race where not many arrive with compelling momentum. That latest second suggested he is coming to the boil again, and his Topspeed figure of 70 is one of the better efforts on offer in this field. Grant Tuer’s horses are often well placed in these northern handicaps and this one looks nicely berthed in stall 8 to track the pace rather than get dragged into trouble. At 11/2 he is not exactly hidden, but he still looks the percentage call given his recent step back in the right direction and a mark of 76 that does not look beyond him. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Dancing With Drums – 6/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Pat Cosgrave | Trainer: Adam Kirby | Form: 1-5713 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 66

Dancing With Drums is the each-way alternative because he is at least doing his racing honestly and his recent figures read well for this level. A win and a third from his last three starts tell you he is holding form, and stall 2 could be a real asset if Pat Cosgrave can secure a handy position early. He is not obviously well in off 78, but neither is this a deep Class 6 and there is enough consistency in his profile to think he can make the frame again. At 6/1 with four places on offer, he looks the sensible each-way punt in a race where plenty have questions to answer.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Jesmond Dawn is the win play because he looks to be arriving at this in the right nick and has fewer negatives than most. Dancing With Drums is the each-way option in a 14-runner field with four places, as his recent consistency gives him a solid place chance. The obvious danger is Mayo County, while Mecca’s Symphony is another who would not surprise if building on that latest second.

14:50 – Free Racing TV At racingtv.com/freetrial Handicap

Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: 6.8) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a fairly ordinary 3yo Class 6, but that does not make it straightforward. Hey Havana and Case Study head the market after recent solid efforts and both arrive with the sort of profile you would expect to see in a race of this nature. Harswell River is the interesting one lurking just behind them, though, because his form has a bit more depth and his Topspeed figure stands out in this field. Only Dream Big and Twilight Dawn are not dismissed either from handy draws, while plenty of the rest need to find more than they have shown lately. In a race where tactical position over this 7f could matter, I would rather side with those already proving reliable in handicaps than take a leap of faith on the outsiders.

Top Selections

1. Harswell River – 6/1 with William Hill

Jockey: Cian Horgan | Trainer: Roger Fell | Form: 537236 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 62

Harswell River makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking much substance. He has been keeping better company than some of these and his recent sequence suggests he is knocking on the door rather than going backwards. The sixth last time was not a disaster, and the earlier placed efforts read perfectly well for a Class 6 of this depth. Crucially, that Topspeed mark of 62 is the best on offer here, and off a mark of 68 he does not look badly treated if things fall right from the outside stall. At 6/1 with William Hill, he looks the value play against shorter-priced rivals. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Twilight Dawn – 13/2 with William Hill

Jockey: Joanna Mason | Trainer: Simon Whitaker | Form: 907-53 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 53

Twilight Dawn is the each-way alternative after shaping as though this sort of race is within reach. She has improved with her two runs this season, especially when third last time, and that effort hinted that she is beginning to work things out in handicaps. Carrying just 125, she gets weight from the principals and stall 5 should allow Joanna Mason to keep tabs on the pace without needing luck from the outset. She does not have as much in hand as the win pick, but this is not a deep contest and 13/2 with William Hill gives her enough appeal for an each-way punt if she can build on that latest step forward. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Harswell River is the win bet at the prices, with his stronger body of handicap form and best-in-field Topspeed giving him the edge. Twilight Dawn makes most appeal for each-way players now that she is showing signs of progress. The obvious dangers are Hey Havana, who has been consistent, and Case Study, who arrives off a good second and is hard to leave out of the reckoning.

15:25 – Marske Fabrications & Engineering Handicap (Straight Mile Series Qualifier)

Race Details: 7f | Class 3 | Going: 6.8) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This is a proper Redcar handicap, competitive without looking especially deep, and the market has understandably latched on to City Of Poets and Classic Encounter near the head of affairs. City Of Poets has the class edge on figures but does have to concede weight all round, while Classic Encounter arrives here after a win and a solid enough follow-up in stronger company. Fiery Damsel is the interesting three-year-old getting weight and could easily have more to offer, while David O’Meara throws plenty at it with Theoryofeverything, New Image and Mehmas Champion. Draw biases on the straight course can always muddy the waters here, so this feels more like a race for value than blind loyalty to the favourite. Tricky enough, but not impossible.

Top Selections

1. Classic Encounter – 4/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Pat Cosgrave | Trainer: George Boughey | Form: 3-7614 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 67

Classic Encounter makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few have questions to answer. He got off the mark for the season when winning two starts back and backed that up with a respectable fourth last time, which suggests he is holding his form well rather than bouncing off a big effort. An official mark of 97 demands a fair bit, but he is proven in this grade and doesn’t look badly treated if getting a strong pace to aim at. Boughey’s handicappers are often placed aggressively and Pat Cosgrave is a good fit for this type of ride. At 4/1, he looks solid rather than flashy, and that may be enough here. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. New Image – 14/1 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Alistair Rawlinson | Trainer: David O’Meara | Form: 86-305 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 84

New Image is the one at a bigger price who makes plenty of each-way sense. He hasn’t been finishing his races off with much conviction this term, but the raw ability is still there and that Topspeed figure of 84 stands out in this field. He is now back on a workable mark, is well berthed in stall 1 if that side is favoured, and O’Meara is exactly the sort to pop up in these northern handicaps when the market has cooled. This isn’t a leap of faith so much as a calculated swing at a horse who has become attractively priced. Available at 14/1, he looks the value play to sneak into the four at the very least. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Classic Encounter is the percentage call for the win bet, arriving in better nick than most and looking sure to run his race. For an each-way punt, New Image is overpriced on old ability and speed figures, especially with four places on offer. The obvious dangers are City Of Poets, who has the class to defy top weight, and Fiery Damsel, the unexposed three-year-old with scope to improve again.

16:03 – Try Racing TV For Free Now Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 3 | Going: 6.8) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a small but quite informative novice rather than a deep one, with the market understandably revolving around Raggaas and New Poetic. Raggaas sets the standard on ratings after a promising debut fourth and that opening mark of 79 gives him the clearest piece of substance in the race. New Poetic has had a couple of chances already for William Haggas and is entitled to improve now stepping up to 1m2f, but he does not bring the same level of achieved form. Shoof Baeed is the interesting unknown on debut, while Charlie Fellowes runs two, though He’s Perfect and Traveling Man need to leave quiet starts miles behind. In truth, this is not a brutal puzzle, but the favourite still has to confirm promise with experience on his side among a couple of unexposed types.

Top Selections

1. Raggaas – 6/5 with William Hill

Jockey: Oisin Orr | Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford | Form: 4 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed:

Raggaas looks the solid one. A debut fourth is hardly flashy at first glance, but in a race like this it is easily the best single piece of form on offer and his mark of 79 puts him clear on the figures. The Crisford team are usually patient with these middle-distance types and it would be no surprise at all if he took a fair step forward from first to second start. Drawn low in stall 1 and partnered by Oisin Orr, he should get a smooth trip, and at around 6/5 he is short enough but still hard to oppose given what the others have actually shown. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Shoof Baeed – 5/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Charlie Johnston | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:

If you want to play against the obvious pair, Shoof Baeed is the one who appeals most as an each-way punt. He comes here unraced, so there is no hard evidence to lean on, but Charlie Johnston is never shy of getting one ready enough to do itself justice and this yard often does well with straightforward middle-distance prospects. In a six-runner race lacking depth beyond the top two in the betting, 5/1 makes some appeal simply because he does not need to be anything out of the ordinary to hit the frame. Connor Beasley is a positive booking and this could be the type to improve sharply for racing. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Raggaas is the sensible win play because he has the strongest form in the book and should improve for that debut. For an each-way angle, Shoof Baeed makes more appeal than the exposed alternatives in a weak enough six-runner novice. New Poetic is the obvious danger if the extra furlong brings out improvement, but he is short enough for one with a bit to prove.

16:40 – Start Your Racing TV Free Trial Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This is a pretty useful 3yo handicap for the grade and not the sort of race to treat lightly. Room Fourteen sets the standard on a mark of 94 and arrives with the strongest recent profile, but he is short enough in a field where a few others still have upside over this trip. Stoneacre Donny has been knocking on the door in better company and looks solid, while Raspoutine is admirably consistent and should give another good account from a handy draw. Guesstimate is also lurking off a workable weight for a powerful yard. It looks likely to be decided by which of the progressive types improves again at a mile and a quarter, and although the favourite is hard to crab, there is enough depth here to make this a proper betting race rather than a penalty kick.

Top Selections

1. Room Fourteen – 6/4 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Callum Rodriguez | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: 83-312 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 80

Room Fourteen is the obvious one, but sometimes obvious is the right answer. He has done little wrong this season, winning before following up with a solid second, and that official mark of 94 looks earned rather than charitable. The draw in stall 1 should help around here, and his profile suggests this trip is exactly what he wants. Fanshawe’s runners often progress with racing and this colt still looks on the upgrade rather than exposed. At 6/4 he is hardly a secret, but in a race where some of the others need to find a bit more, he is still the one with the strongest claims. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Stoneacre Donny – 13/2 with William Hill

Jockey: Duran Fentiman | Trainer: Tim Easterby | Form: 13-323 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 79

Stoneacre Donny appeals as the each-way play because he keeps running his race and looks sure to be involved again if this is run at an honest tempo. His recent figures read well enough for this level, especially the pair of placed efforts before another respectable third last time, and a mark of 90 does not look beyond him. Easterby knows how to place one at Redcar and Duran Fentiman is a rider who tends to suit these straightforward, galloping types. Available at 13/2, he makes plenty of sense as a horse likely to be thereabouts even if one or two have a bit more latent improvement. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Room Fourteen is the win play because he brings the best current form and still looks progressive at this trip. For a bit more insurance, Stoneacre Donny is the each-way option at a fair enough price in a 10-runner field with three places on offer. Raspoutine is the obvious danger, while Guesstimate would not surprise if the market speaks in his favour.

17:15 – Come Racing On Ladies’ Day Tomorrow Maiden Handicap

Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a fairly ordinary maiden handicap rather than a deep one, and that does make the market leader pretty obvious. Argy Bhaji has been knocking loudly on the door with four straight runner-up finishes and, in a race lacking much proven finishing power, he sets the standard. Believeinmenow and Valor Spirit arrive with solid enough sprint handicap form of their own, while Donald has the figures to get involved if the older legs can find a bit more. The interesting angle is whether anything unexposed can improve past the favourite, because several of these have had chances already. Over a sharp 5f at Redcar, a clean break and early track position will matter plenty, but on paper this revolves around whether Argy Bhaji can finally get his head in front.

Top Selections

1. Argy Bhaji – 5/4 with Bet365

Jockey: Callum Rodriguez | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: 3-2222 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 65

He is becoming expensive to follow, but this looks the sort of race he ought to be winning. Those four consecutive second-place finishes tell the story: reliable, consistent and running to a level that most of these have not matched often enough. A mark of 72 is workable, his Topspeed figure of 65 is among the better ones in the line-up, and there is no shame in siding with the obvious horse when the opposition is patchy. Callum Rodriguez is a positive booking for a horse likely to be ridden handily, and at 5/4 with Bet365 he is short but still hard to oppose in a weak enough contest. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Believeinmenow – 11/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Faye McManoman | Trainer: Nigel Tinkler | Form: -42273 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 70

If you want something against the favourite at an each-way price, Believeinmenow makes more appeal than most. He has been holding his form well, and that Topspeed mark of 70 is the best in the race, which is notable in a 5f contest where raw speed counts for plenty. The recent third suggests he is still in good order, and stall 2 should help him secure a handy position without burning too much petrol early. Nigel Tinkler’s sprinters are often straightforward types in races like this, and 11/2 looks fair enough for a colt who should give you a run for your money if repeating his recent level. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple here. Argy Bhaji is the win play because he has the strongest recent form and this looks a very winnable opening. For an each-way punt, Believeinmenow appeals most given his solid profile and strong speed figure. Valor Spirit is the obvious danger after his latest second, while Donald is not hopeless if the older horse can nick a place.
