Ascot: Balmoral Handicap big race evaluation 

Raaeq sets the standard

As punters, it is very often possible to get postpone by a brief value for a horse in what’s broadly conceived as a competitive handicap. 

Many, myself included, may have been disheartened to see Great White Shark so quick in the betting for the Cesarewitch last Saturday, given the exacting nature of the Newmarket marathon, only to see Willie Mullins’ mare justify favouritism in good type at the death.

If the shape is there and the horse seems the likeliest winner, as a punter we have to resolve if the price still offers value. Brian Meehan’s Raaeq might fall into an analogous category by Saturday afternoon. 

He’s already as short as 5/1 to win this contest following an ultra-impressive display over 7f (good to soft) right here a fortnight ago. He carries a 6lb penalty for that success, though the style of victory hints he should still be ahead of the assessor.

Raaeq’s obtained plenty going for him however, crucially, is more likely to meet probably the most testing ground of his career now. That’s a priority, and sufficient to place doubt in his probabilities.

Tempus will relish conditions

If anything is to problem him for favouritism it may be TEMPUS and Roger Charlton’s runner is due loads of respect, despite things failing to fall his means in the Cambridgeshire.

He completed sixth of 27 in a race the place issues didn’t go for him. The Kingman colt had beforehand proven his progressive nature with wins at Newbury (1m, good to soft) in August on his first begin in 302 days (awarded race after finishing second and being impeded late on).

Next time he backed that up in no uncertain phrases with a C&D success (good to soft) in early September from a mark of ninety three beneath Jason Watson.

The return to a mile and the prospect of ‘heavy’ within the going description are in his favour as Tempus scored a novice win final season on heavy Haydock ground. He’s solely had four begins in handicaps (seven overall) and is far from exposed at this stage.

He did not actually seem to relish the extra furlong within the Cambridgeshire but was amongst a bunch of horses competing for minor cash behind simple winner Majestic Dawn. At the current 8/1, Tempus appears the one to be with in the Balmoral Handicap.

Keats can have a say

Aidan O’Brien may have loads of runners going for the glamourous prizes on offer on Champions Day but do not low cost an enormous run from Keats in the finale underneath Ryan Moore.

An improving three-year-old Galileo colt, he landed a 1m Listed race at Cork late last month and the 6lb penalty incurred was enough to sneak on this event.

That was his newest success of what has been a busy summer/autumn marketing campaign. His soft-ground win at Killarney over this trip instructed he’ll handle the cut within the floor and he additionally completed second at Listowel final month behind subsequent Newmarket Group three scorer Lady Wannabe, prior to seeing off a solid area in the Navigation Stakes at Cork.

We’ve only seen him as quickly as in a handicap beforehand, on the Curragh also final month within the 22-runner ‘Northfields’ when pretty much nothing went his method. He may have plenty extra to offer and will give a stable account of himself.
