2026 Churchill Tyres Handicap Betting Tips
Fine Interview could be the horse to back when it comes to the Churchill Tyres Handicap. Last time out, we saw the runner score at Doncaster, with that being a one-length success for the 15/8 favourite in a field of nineteen. There was previously another win at the same Yorkshire track and also an early October success at Pontefract.
Binhareer was able to win on the last race of the previous season, with William Haggas saddling a four-year-old at York in October. The horse has therefore proven himself at the Knavesmire, with the 9/2 joint-favourite able to score in the Coral Sprint Trophy Handicap. That came after running into the frame at Ayr in the Silver Cup Handicap.
Pocklington has been an all-weather merchant this season, with Geoff Oldroyd saddling a horse who won at Southwell on New Year's Day. The 7/4 favourite produced a strong effort and then finished second a couple of weeks later on the all-weather at Newcastle. Then there was a midfield finish at Newcastle more recently.
Fahrenheit Seven has scored in two appearances this term, with the first of these victories coming on the all-weather at Newcastle in early February. The 7/1 shot on this occasion proved to be no fluke, with another win coming at Southwell in March when obliging as the favourite. However, the horse then underwhelmed at Naas in April.

Elmonjed was fourth on a seasonal debut and it was a decent effort in a field of thirteen runners at Newmarket. The 8/1 chance fared well on that occasion, although was found wanting in the final furlong and it will be interesting if he’s suited to the Knavesmire track. There had previously been a smart strike rate when winning at York and Windsor.
The former of those victories came as the 7/2 favourite in the Constantine Handicap over six furlongs, with a marginal win being achieved and that came after an 11/4 favourite victory in the Fitzdares Sprint Series Final Handicap race. These performances indicate why the bookmakers have installed him as the one to beat.
Two Tribes can’t be easily discounted based on his efforts so far. The Richard Spencer-trained charge was able to finish third out of thirteen runners at Newmarket last time out. The 9/1 chance was able to feature in the frame in the Betfred Handicap and that came after a solid effort at Ayr back in September when placing sixth out of twenty-two runners.
Holkham Bay was fifth last time out and the five-year-old has the potential to go well for William Knight, with Change Sings another interesting runner. Eve Johnson Houghton saw her charge finished second out of a field of eleven at Newbury in April, with this coming after a third-placed finish from a dozen runners at Kempton on the all-weather.

We’re primed for a six furlong stampede at the Knavesmire on Wednesday and the chance to bet on the Churchill Tyres Handicap, with twenty-two runners entered into a contest where we’re guaranteed to see the winner returned at a big price. Orazio is among the favourites despite failing to register a victory in the past five outings and he was disappointing at Newmarket last time out.
Lethal Levi could only finish eighth out of ten runners in a recent outing at Newmarket, with the horse making an awkward start to the race although there was previously a bright performance in the Howden Challenge Cup at Ascot where the horse was able to finish fourth out of seventeen runners and outperform his odds.
Summerghand is one of the older runners in the race and the David O’Meara-trained horse was last seen achieving a midfield finish at Newmarket when landing eighth out of fifteen runners. This came after a bright display at the same course to finish fifth in a field of eighteen, although it’s been a long time since the horse posted a victory.
Aberama Gold could well have an impact and the seven-year-old was able to finish third in a recent outing at Newmarket in a field of eighteen runners. Sent off at odds of 20/1, it was a spirited performance and there was then a solid showing in a field of fifteen last time out where the horse was able to finish in sixth place.

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.
