16:15 Balmoral Handicap (Sponsored By Qipco) (Str)

Race preview

David O'Meara has won two of the last three renewals so any money for his two runners this year, Hortzadar and Orbaan, would be interesting. The last-named left a good impression when winning at York off 3lb lower earlier in the year and caught the eye with his finishing effort in a steadily-run C&D contest won by Tempus last month. That said, RAAEQ could be the one to be on. Brian Meehan's three-year-old, who was a distance winner at Sandown last month, is turned out under a 6lb penalty for his 7f victory on soft ground here last time and remains open to improvement on his sixth career start. King Ottokar and Raising Sand are others effective at this venue, while Keats looks the pick of the Irish raiders.
