RHN Travel Handicap Stakes (Div II)

Winless in her last five starts and not seen on a track for 145 days, Miss Raincloud faces a stiff ask from stall nine carrying 126 lb, and a ranking of eighth of ten on our figures makes her hard to fancy, despite having experience over today's trip.

Retro Rocket has been winless in his last five starts, finishing no better than sixth in that sequence, and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, the case for him is thin; he does at least return on a reasonable 21-day break and has run over today's trip before.

Whiteley Way arrives here as a winner last time out, and she has experience of both today's trip and the prevailing going, so conditions hold no fears; the concern is a 125-day absence that leaves fitness on trust.

Wellwhatshappenin showed enough when third five starts back to suggest ability, and a return to form is not out of the question carrying 132 lb from stall four, with experience over today's trip another plus; the risk is that he has been winless in his last five starts.

Ajrad has run over today's distance and going before, and 21 days between runs leaves him fresh enough to challenge, with his rating of 57 suggesting he holds more ability than his official mark implies — yet a trainer without a winner in 20 recent starts is the concern.
