2024 Churchill Tyres Handicap Tips

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.
