Newmarket Race 1 - Bet365 Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Gbbplus Race)
KING'S CHARTER (1) is a Charlie Appleby trained gelding. Returned to action with a smooth success in a novice event at Doncaster last month and could have more to offer now stepping up to 2000m making handicap debut. The progressive KURAKKA (4) won nicely over further making handicap debut at Haydock and cannot be ignored with further improvement likely. URBAN GLIMPSE (7) could be in the mix following good second-place finishes attempting similar handicaps at Sandown and York. REGALIAN (6) and WAR HAWK (5) are others to note.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 8 at Goodwood in the LR Cocked Hat Stakes on May 24 over 2240m, 27 len behind Amiloc carrying 58kg at $23. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at Southwell All Weather April 30 over 2400m defeating Harpsichord carrying 58.5kg at $2.30. Racing well but may find this too tough.
