2023 Bet365 Mile Handicap Tips
Dragon Icon will return to the track after last running at Cologne, with the horse finishing fifth out of nine runners in Germany. The runner was sent off at 3/1 in the German 2,000 Guineas although the horse was outpaced over a mile and will now return to the track in the hope of staying the course better at Newmarket.
Havana Blue has struck gold in consecutive outings, winning on both Newmarket courses recently. There was a success in the Aspall Premier Cru Handicap over seven furlongs on 20 May, while there was a 10/11 success over seven furlongs on the July course and perhaps this is the horse to back for this encounter.
Quantum Impact turns out for trainer Ralph Beckett and the three-year-old has shown some smart form including a win at York, with the runner obliging in the Royal Yorkshire Regiment Handicap over one mile. However, the horse finished well down the order in the Britannia Stakes and might need to find some improvement to win.
Royal Dubai has shown some excellent form since switching stables after wind surgery, with Marco Botti having seen his charge win on the all-weather at Chelmsford at the end of May. The horse then finished second in a handicap at Chester over seven and a half furlongs, with less than a length between the runner and eventual winner Saxon King.
