Newmarket 3.00 Bet Boost at bet365 Handicap

HIERARCHY 3

AIM Hier. Makes handicap debut after being outclassed in a Royal Ascot Gp1 latest. Trip suits and should find this easier so has place claims.

Jockey: James Doyle

WITCH HUNTER 2

DITCH Witch. Placed at Listed level over this trip but didn’t fire on handicap debut at Windsor. Has more to come but a bit to prove now.

Jockey: Rossa Ryan

KHUNAN 1

NO Nan. Group 2 second at best but hasn’t fired for a while, including at Royal Ascot on handicap debut. Needs a big drop in the weights.

Jockey: Connor Murtagh

GISBURN 2

BURN up. Best form over this trip on testing ground and didn’t like it fast at York last time. Needs rain to figure here.

Jockey: Sean Levey

BOSH 4

DON’T bash Bosh. Been in decent form over 7f but last win came at this trip. Finished well last time and looks on fair mark. Each-way shout.

Jockey: Pat Dobbs

KHANJAR 5

KHAN win. Impressive handicap debut win at Ripon last time when this trip looked ideal. Yard in cracking form and he has a lot more to offer. The one to beat.

Jockey: Jim Crowley

DEODAR 4

DAR may star. Best efforts have been over this trip and didn’t stay 7f here last time. Has pace so drop in distance gives him every chance.

Jockey: Ryan Moore

ADMIRAL D 2

AD a minus. Soft-ground winner last season and solid run in tough race at York last time. Shapes as though an extra furlong would be ideal.

Jockey: Barry McHugh

INGRA TOR 4

TOR could score. Backed when below par in hot contest at York latest on the back of a smooth success on the Rowley course here in April. Trip suits and he’s capable of better.

Jockey: Tom Marquand

AASSER 4

YES Ser. Went down in a tight finish at Ayr last time over 7f but this trip may suit better. Booking of Buick takes the eye and the first-time visor may help. Chance.

Jockey: William Buick

ATOMIC LADY 3

FIND the Lady. Looked good last season but hasn’t fired yet this term. Likes this trip on fast ground so could outrun her long odds.

Jockey: Duran Fentiman

ANADORA 3

DOR open. Outpaced over 5f last time but much better at this trip with a win on the Rowley course here. Is only 3lb higher than that mark so can’t be discounted.

Jockey: Shane Gray

LIL GUFF 3

LIL looks big. Much better than fifth suggests at Newbury last time and this trip is ideal. Would ideally like the ground a bit softer but is another who looks overpriced.

Jockey: Josephine Gordon

AZURE BLUE 3

AZURE sure. Easy Hamilton win before another decent second at Ripon latest. Creeping up the weights but should run another good race.

Jockey: Andrew Mullen

TWELFTH KNIGHT 3

BRIGHT Knight. Consistent and battled well to score at Windsor latest over this trip. Fast ground is ideal and a 3lb rise in the weights looks fair enough.

Jockey: Hollie Doyle

LETHAL LEVI 3

LOOKS Lethal. Went close here last time after winning at Haydock and running a cracker at York. He’s off the same mark over an ideal trip so could nick a place.

Jockey: Jimmy Quinn

LE BEAU GARCON 3

BEAU goes. Finished well when second over 5f latest so should enjoy this trip. Up fair 3lb for that seasonal return and he can take a step forward here.

Jockey: John Egan

SHOWTIME MAHOMES 3

BIG Show. Rare blip at York latest after two excellent runs on the Knavesmire earlier this season. Not been clobbered by the handicapper and may bounce back.

Jockey: Cam Hardie

BEAR PROFIT 3

BEAR with him. Solid third on handicap debut here last time. That was just his fourth run so there should be more to come but this is tougher.

Jockey: Hayley Turner

Templegate tip

YES we Khan in Newmarket’s 3.00.

KHANJAR was impressive when scoring on handicap debut at Ripon last time. He loved this trip and has a lot more to offer for in-form trainer William Haggas.

Deodar should be happier at this trip after a decent effort over 7f here last time. He travelled well for a long way.

Ingra Tor can bounce back from one modest run, while Aasser and Bosh are others for the shortlist.
