George Benjamin likely to win Jewellers Handicap
George Benjamin is likely to capitalise well on the energy produced by his last three feats in a bid to claim the ace title of the Market Cross Jewellers Handicap that will be held at Thirsk racecourse on Monday, June 25. The Class 4 contest will begin at
7:50 (GMT).
The Christopher Kellett-trained bay gelding will run against 9 rivals while pursing the prize cheque worth £4,140 on the soft track of 7 furlongs.
George Benjamin has won 4 of his total 24 starts so far. The five-year-old veteran horse marvellously accomplished a grand victory each on April 11 and June 4, 2012.
On the first occasion, he defeated 8 rivals to win the Goracing.CO.UK Claiming Stakes at Catterick. In the very next outing, the brilliant sprinter claimed the title of the Medinet Handicap at Chepstow track.
Following these two classic feats, the talented horse moved ahead to finish as a runner-up in his last outing on June 12. Interestingly, he ran each of his last two races with a favourite tag.
At the moment, the son of Trade Fair out of Unchain My Heart is enjoying great winning impetus that will help him make a big impact in the Jewellers Handicap.
None of George Benjamin’s competitors but Mingun Bell is likely to fight hard for success today.
Mingun Bell has three triumphs to his name. The Ed de Giles-trained bay gelding elegantly clinched first position in a big race on September 20, 2011. Since the dawn of 2012, the 23-race veteran horse has been enjoying good form.
After getting 4th position against 10 rivals on May 8, he moved forward to finish as a runner-up in his last outing on May 30.
In order to thrive, George Benjamin will have to face a lot of resistance from Mingun Bell. There will be a fierce battle between these two runners.
Ingleby Exceed is too likely to do well today. The David O’Meara-trained filly has won 3 of her total 15 starts to date. She got a runner-up position in her last outing on June 17, 2012.
Thus, there is going to be a rip-roaring clash in the Jewellers Handicap. Good luck to all the contestants.
