Tuesday Racing Tips from Steve Ryder

The Michael Dods trained BOLD TERRITORIES (best priced at 13/2) has won both of his starts since being fitted with cheekpieces and he should hold strong claims of completing a hat-trick. The four-year-old had reached a career low mark of 51 before finishing a close 2nd at Wolverhampton in July. He got off the mark later that month off the same mark before defying a 4lb rise to win at Newcastle by a short head last time. 
The handicapper has only raised Bold Territories 2lbs for that success which seems very fair and if he can transfer that form to turf then he should run well with up to four places available. 
 

The Sir Michael Stoute trained CAPSTAN (best priced at 11/1) looks the type to progress through handicaps and he is interesting for top connections on his handicap debut. The son of Kingman finished 2nd on his debut at Newcastle before slightly disappointing on his next two starts at Sandown and Chelmsford. 
The handicapper has given Capstan an opening mark of 77 which seems very fair on the basis of his run behind the 100 rated Lysander on debut and this is also his first run since a gelding operation. He is the least exposed horse in this 0-80 handicap and I expect him to run well with up to four places available.  
 

I tipped the Alice Haynes trained SHE'S CENTIMENTAL (best priced at 11/4) on debut and I thought she was going to make it a winning one until the more experienced Red Treasure headed her late on. The two-year-old travelled well in midfield that day before leading 1f out over the 6f trip showing a good attitude to finish only 1 ¼ lengths behind the winner.
She’s Centimental finished 1 ½ lengths clear of the third that day and a repeat of that effort should mean that she is hard to beat in this race. She is well drawn in Stall 3 and I expect her to get off the mark at the second attempt under Kieran O’Neill.
