The Betfred November Handicap takes place at Doncaster today Saturday, 9th November. at 3.35 on ground given as Good to Soft It is a class 2 handicap open to 3yos and older, run over 1M 4F.
Younger less exposed horses that have been running well lately have been favoured in past 10 years.
Horses drawn 9 to 16: 4-6-72
Horses drawn 17 or higher: 3-4-58
All 3 winners drawn 17 or higher were on soft or heavy ground.
The 4 winners on ground with good in description were drawn between 8 and 14.
Racing Tactics
5 of 10 winners raced in touch or in midfield
4 of 10 winners were held up towards rear
1 of 10 winners made all
Price
No strong trends based on prices for this race.
This is a terrible race for favourites (0-1-11) with no winner in the last 17 years and only 1 of 11 making the frame since 2003.

- Aged 3 or 4 ✔

- Run 4 to 7 times in 2013 ✔
- Finished 1st or 2nd on one or both of last 2 starts ✔

The one I like in a very tricky race is Nicholas Copernicus ( 8 ✔) who holds very good each way chances - only 4th run of the season attracts for this hold up specialist with a turn of foot on soft ground with a canny trainer and special jock in Andrea Atzeni
