Hatamoto

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 55

Well backed when runner-up to a subsequent winner over this trip on handicap debut at Carlisle, he didn't see out his race over a longer trip (9f, soft) there last time but looks worth another chance back down in distance/grade.

Regal Knight

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: 46

Maiden who raced up with the pace when fifth (behind patiently-ridden Hood Wink) in a strongly-run C&D handicap on his latest start. Looks the type to benefit from first-time cheekpieces and may be able to dictate on this occasion.

Hood Wink

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: 49

Found improvement when dead-heating at Wetherby (1m) in April and having recorded his best effort yet when third of 9 in a C&D handicap last time, he has to be high on the shortlist. Yard also represented by Hatamoto.

Lc Tiffen

Trucial Pearl

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 1lbs
Or: 47

Ardad filly looks to be building up to something, finishing third of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f) last time, and her pedigree/run style offers hope that 1m will prove within range.

Shimmering Spirit (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: 54

Failed to improve on handicap/turf debut at Leicester in mid-April. Steps back up in trip following a short break, but it's hard to be confident.

A Boy Named Mary (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 50

Hinted at ability in an all-weather novice last winter and while he's made little impact at long odds in a couple of Redcar handicaps this season, the handicapper has at least been quick to relent.

Raven's View (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 6lbs
Or: 52

Fifth in a race that worked out well on qualifying run at Newcastle (6f) earlier this year. Down the field in a 1½m Thirsk handicap latest (unproven at trip), though has been given a chance by the handicapper and looks interesting with cheekpieces added on first start in a 0-55.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
16/05/26	Thirsk	1m 4f 8y	Good	7/11	Flat
13/04/26	Newcastle	1m 2f 42y	Std	4/7	Flat
05/03/26	Newcastle	7f 14y	Slow	9/12	Flat
01/01/26	Newcastle	6f	Slow	6/8	Flat
19/12/25	Newcastle	7f 14y	Slow	7/7	Flat
02/12/25	Newcastle	7f 14y	Std	6/9	Flat

Timeform Verdict

The drop in grade/first-time headgear may just see RAVEN'S VIEW open his account. Hood Wink, Trucial Pearl, Hatamoto and Regal Knight are others to consider in a trappy low-grade handicap.

Betting Forecast

4/1 Hatamoto, 13/2 Regal Knight, 11/2 Hood Wink, 100/1 Lc Tiffen, 7/2 Trucial Pearl, 40/1 Shimmering Spirit (Ire), 25/1 A Boy Named Mary (Ire), 12/1 Raven's View (Ire)
