2023 Howden Challenge Cup Tips
There are plenty of horses from a field of eighteen runners who have solid credentials when it comes to the Howden Challenge Cup. Baradar was able to oblige at odds of 100/30 at Doncaster in the middle of September, with the runner previously impressing at Ascot. There was a great win in the International Stakes at odds of 16/1.
Popmaster has been in the first two in the previous three races, with the horse runner-up over seven furlongs at Newbury Racecourse. In the bet365 Handicap at Ascot came a second-placed performance by the short distance of just a neck, with the best effort coming in a recent encounter in the Dubai Duty Free Cup Stakes at Newbury.
Quinault was able to beat Popmaster at Ascot and there is plenty to recommend the Stuart Williams-trained runner who could be more progressive at the age of three. Indeed, this horse has won six of his seven efforts this term and has to be considered each-way value. There was a third-placed finish in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Handicap.
Fresh hasn’t been successful in any race this term although sixth place out of twenty-two runners at The Curragh, with this horse running well on good ground over six furlongs. There was also a fifth-placed finish out of seventeen in the Constantine Handicap, with Ramazan having finished second in the Ayr Gold Cup Handicap on 23 September.
