2023 Churchill Tyres Handicap Tips
Khanjar has had a lengthy absence away from the racecourse, although the bookmakers are still respecting the chances of this four-year-old in this York showdown. Last time out, it was a disappointing second last at Redcar in the beginning of October, with a disappointing showing at Ayr preceding this although there was a handicap victory at Haydock at the beginning of September.
Dakota Gold was third last time out, with the nine-year-old hitting the frame over five furlongs at Pontefract and there was a six-furlong win at Doncaster on 21 October, with Michael Dods citing this charge as one of his best chances of the meeting, with the horse potentially coming towards the end of his career and we can’t anticipate progression.
Bielsa was second in a handicap race at Redcar last month, with the Kevin Ryan-trained runner losing to Twelfth Knight by a solitary length, with that coming after some disappointing performances at the back end of last year when finishing well down the order at Chester, Ayr and York.
Badri is an interesting runner for trainer Ruth Carr who was able to score over five furlongs on soft ground at Beverley last time out, with that victory coming by more than four lengths. There were also two victories on the all-weather at Newcastle earlier this year, with Aleezdancer a talented four-year-old who also goes for Kevin Ryan.
