Newmarket Race 6 - BetMGM Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
EDDAARI (1) shed the maiden tag gaining an impressive 1.25L win at Newcastle. Stayed on well that day so extra journey will suit. Open to any amount of further improvement and he rates as the one to beat. ALPINE CULTURE (4) now switches to handicaps and can progress in this sphere. Opening mark looks fair and yard are going particularly well at present. Major winning hope. THE JOKER (2) shaped with promise when beaten 2.75L third at Sandown first up. Expect another big effort. GUEST HOUSE (8) steps up in grade following a 1.25L triumph at Great Yarmouth. Will find this a lot tougher but with a light racing weight could improve further. Each way hope.
