Tote Ebor Handicap Tip

The Tote Ebor Handicap tip for the Tote Ebor betting handicap race is the Henry Cecil trained Ajaan. The race however was a tricky one to pick and we have narrowed down our Ebor selection by taking a look at some of the obvious stats of this race. Firstly, as a rule a high number draw in this race is not good, if your horse prefers to be up with the pace then he has a hell of a job getting across the field and if he manages to do so he will have wasted much valuable stamina; if on the other hand he prefers to be held up, then he may well have too much traffic to get through before the line. Weight is always an essential thing to consider in a big handicap race such as this and it should be noted that there has been no horse that has carried more than 9st 4lb to victory in the last 20 years. Anything higher in the race, despite their class is unlikely to win and furthermore it is older horses that have been the dominant force over the last few years. .

Cecil has had winners of the Ebor before and knows better than most what is required. He had several entries for this race initially but he has narrowed his own horses down to just the selection and that might prove to be very significant. After winning two good quality Newmarket Handicaps in the spring Aajan then ran two poor races in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot where he failed to stay the extended trip and then he finished last in a 2 mile listed race a fortnight later. Cecil has since rested him from competitive racing but he believes the horse is now back to the form he showed in the spring and at the distance he has won over. His draw is good and is weight is bang on the 9st mark. What is even more attractive is his price of 16/1 with Ladbrokes, this looks like a gift and great odds to go with an each way punt.
