Further to earlier threads, Captain Kane at Ripon managed to shoulder the extra weight but was still just ahead of the handicapper to win yet again. The apprentice ride was impressive and the allowance probably made the win possible.

“Midfield, pushed along over 3f out, went second 2f out, ran on well to lead towards finish (op 6/4 tchd 11/8)”Significant Handicap movements (31st May)
Runners having an outing before Saturday will be ahead of the handicapper, notwithstanding there will be a penalty incurred. The penalty level will still leave an advantage for the runners listed below.
It looks like we will need to pay attention to The Covex Kid who is due to run Friday. There has been quite a lot of interest from the BHA integrity Dept regarding the Aw win : see comments below from the RPost. Collects a 12lb hike and has a similar penalty for the race. Won well on latest run and could still be just ahead of the handicapper.

There are others who have been hiked (see list above) but not withstanding Sixcor non are due to run before Saturday which would mean them escaping the weight rise.
***********************
Highest riser in the weights Astapor (now goes up 14 lbs). Many had to have a double take as this one won in style at 200/1 ! Beat odds on Parisiac rated at 94. Astapor was rated 43 although this was a novice race and not a handicap.See below that recent win comments.2:01 Hamilton

Improvised and Mostly Cloudy have engagements that would side step any hike in their weights.
IMPROVISED (IRE) Escapes a penalty by virtue of a 2nd spot on latest run to Snooze N You Lose and looks well handicapped for the Ascot Palace Stakes.

Race conditions mean this one would not be able to race with these in the future having moved above them in the official ratings.Looks well in with only a 6lb penalty offset with apprentice 5lb claimer booked.
On another topic; there are runners coming from Ascot last week who will be looked at a little closer with a few comments as to the handicappers reasoning.
That will follow later
