Back Mak to win you some Redcar riches

Racing: Channon’s charge has proved his capabilities off a higher mark

MAKSAB narrowly failed to hit the target on his return last month but he can make swift amends in the Racing UK Profits Returned To Racing Handicap at Redcar.

Mick Channon’s charge was beaten a length and three-quarters on his seasonal bow at Newmarket last month, making the early running from his low draw before those efforts perhaps told a bit at the finish.

He was beaten by a seemingly progressive rival that day and given this will be his ninth career start, Maksab is probably pretty well known by the handicapper these days.

However, Maksab has proved capable off a slightly higher mark than his current perch of 84 previously, so you should be assured of a good run in what is, on the face of it, a slightly cooler heat than he faced at Headquarters.

DIPLOMACY can hit the ground running for David O’Meara in the Subscribe To Racing UK On Youtube Novice Median Auction Stakes.

He was limited to just one start as a juvenile last term, finishing a fair fourth over the same seven furlongs he faces again here.

This Champs Elysees gelding was perhaps slightly found out on testing autumn ground on that occasion, but he is related to a couple of decent runners and could improve on a better surface.

AMADEUS, with Paul Hanagan on board, is expected to score in the Racing UK Handicap at Musselburgh.
