This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 56 to 75. To qualify for a handicap raGng horses must have run at least three Gmes in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This raGng then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this parGcular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

Stewards Note:

ROYAL MUSKETEER: Following its run on 7/5/2021 it was reported that the horse ran too freely.

Betting Forecast:

3-1 General Sago (IRE), 10-3 Tees Spirit (GB), 5-1 The Thin Blue Line (IRE), 13-2 Brazen Belle (GB), 8-1 Impeller (GB), 12-1 Perfect Times (GB), 14-1 Royal Musketeer (GB)

PLAY SMARTER Gelded following a low-key 2-y-o campaign, TEES SPIRIT has looks a different proposition for new connections switched to handicaps this season, scoring over C&D on return in April and just touched off in his follow-up bid at Doncaster. He probably has more to offer and gets the nod ahead of handicap-debutant General Sago and the down-in-class The Thin Blue Line.
