StarForm NUMBER ONE FOR RACING

SHEIKH RAJ (12.07) looks ready to open his account in the Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Handicap at Lingfield.

The three-year-old maiden hasn’t been much of a pal to punters so far, beaten as favourite on three of his nine winless starts.

But he’s gone close on his only two outings in this class 5 company and wasn’t disgraced upped in trip and grade last time.

This is his level and the first-time blinkers wouldn’t need to squeeze out much more for him to be a major player, with the booking of Billy Loughnane (right) another plus.

And DANDY KHAN (2.07), Loughnane’s mount in the Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap, is impossible to ignore.

She escapes a penalty as she bids for a quickfire course handicap trick, while AMBER HONEY (3.07 nap) is equally hard to argue with in the Midnite: Built For 2025 Not 2005 Handicap.
