Race Tip

Flat winner BALHAMBAR (1) improved to finish third at Huntingdon last start. That was his debut for Harry Derham and further progress is expected now switching to handicaps. Leading contender. PASSING KATE (3) was raised 9.9lb after a 5L success at Wincanton two runs ago. Soundly beaten on only subsequent start. Eased slightly by the handicapper. Holds claims. ROYAL DEESIDE (4) managed second from this mark on handicap debut. Ultimately well beaten that day. Could be winning races. DUNDORY (5) posted a better run in latest. Drops 2.2lb subsequently.
