CHANNEL 4 pay a rare visit to Redcar where Ragheed (3.40) is confidently expected to put on the style in front of the television cameras, writes Colin Woods (Janus).

The son of top-class sire Rahy appeared to be flagging on his latest start when headed at Newmarket, but instead of folding tamely he fought back like a lion to pass the post in first place.

Such overt tenacity in any competitor, be it human or equine, deserves immense credit, proving if nothing else that when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

The handicapper knows all about Ragheed's five rivals in the the John Smith's Straight-Mile Championship Qualifier, whereas the selection could arguably have a stone of improvement to come.

The same trainer/jockey combination of William Haggas and Liam Jones are represented by Wise Son (2.30) in the earlier six-furlong Destiny Racing Club Nursery.

Not for the first time, nor the last, team Haggas' landed a good few quid when the heavily gambled-on Wise Son prevailed in a driving finish at Windsor.

It was a victory which has earned the gutsy two-year-old top-weight, however that shouldn't deter punters from getting stuck into the southern-based raider.

Keith Reveley haven't had much to cheer about over the summer, nevertheless his runners are always a danger when entered at what is the stable's local track.

Significantly Keith has restricted his challenge to just a couple of horses including Let It Be (4.10), who unsurprisingly bids to win his mother's race, the Mary Reveley Racing Club Handicap.

Doubtless prepared with the contest specifically in mind, Let It Be has the form in the book to take the longest event on the card with flying colours.
