In the Betway Middle Distance Handicap
(5.35) at Wolverhampton on Thursday, Raashdy has continued in
good from since completing a four-timer at Lingfield in November and
can resume winning ways. A course and distance winner in October –
in a race that has thrown up a couple of winners – the Intikhab
gelding has been campaigned over 1 mile 6 furlongs on two of his last
three starts, but the return to 1 mile 4 furlongs is almost certainly
in his favour and he remains just 4lb higher in the weights than when
successful at Lingfield. A Simon Crisford castoff just over a year
ago, Peter Hiatt’s 5-year-old has officially improved 17lb since
switched back to the all-weather in October and can continue to pay
his way for connections.
