| Race | Horse | Form | Odds | Rating | Weight | Age | Jockey | Trainer | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17:30 York | (1) Another Investment |  | | | | 5 | Alex Jary | Nigel Tinkler | His form has been somewhat up and down this season but he's shown spark on occasions and is just 2lb higher than when easily winning a big-field C&D handicap (good to firm) last June; not discounted. |
| 17:30 York | (2) Chuzzlewit | | | | | 4 | Tom Eaves | Kevin Ryan | Runs off a mark 6lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March but his turf form in inferior and he's finished no better than seventh on grass on his five outings since that last victory. |
| 17:30 York | (3) Tanmawwy | | | | | 6 | Kevin Stott | Heather Main | He's not the force of old but has dropped down the weights accordingly and took a healthy step back in the right direction when fourth at Haydock (7f, good) three weeks ago; another 2lb lower here and not ruled out. |
| 17:30 York | 4th (4) Desert Falcon | | | | | 4 | Ryan Sexton | Julie Camacho | Lightly raced 4yo who won twice for Sir Mark Prescott last June but he's finished last on both runs this season and was slowly away at Pontefract most recently; has plenty to prove. |
| 17:30 York | (5) Leadenhall | | | | | 4 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Made a pretty promising start for current yard this season and returned to form when third of 18 over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago; he's also effective on fast ground and may well be in the shake-up. |
| 17:30 York | (6) Great Max | | | | | 5 | Daniel Tudhope | David O'Meara | 0-22 since 2yo debut and has regressed; well beaten at Doncaster last time but perhaps soft ground doesn't suit nowadays and he was an encouraging fourth there (7f, good to firm) two starts ago; he's a further 3lb lower than for that penultimate outing and is not written off today. |
| 17:30 York | (7) Carnival Zain | | | | | 7 | Aiden Brookes | Micky Hammond | Won five times during an excellent 2022; has dropped to a dangerous mark and hinted at promise on reappearance over C&D in May, but he's been well beaten over C&D subsequently and others have more pressing claims. |
| 17:30 York | 1st (8) Craven | | | | | 4 | Billy Garritty | Richard Fahey | Just one win (last July) from his 18 starts and this inconsistent 4yo was well beaten over C&D in May last time; however, prior to that he was a good third of 20 over C&D and can be in the mix if reproducing that form. |
| 17:30 York | (9) Charencey | | | | | 4 | Rossa Ryan | Ian Williams | Beaten just a head at Leicester (7f, good) on July 6 and dead-heated for first at Doncaster (7f, soft) five days later; has run well on fast ground; up just 2lb for last time; this in-form 4yo could be bang there once more. |
| 17:30 York | 5th (10) The Cookstown Cafu | | | | | 5 | Hollie Doyle | Kevin Ryan | Below his best this year but has dropped down the weights and finished third off this mark at Carlisle (1m, good) three weeks ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained); each-way claims if he's again on song. |
| 17:30 York | (11) Heroism | | | | | 4 | Paul Mulrennan | David & Nicola Barron | Well beaten on seasonal/stable debut in May and hard to be confident after that, but he's had wind surgery since and is back in the tongue-tie today; posted some strong finishes for Clive Cox over 6f last season and he's on a handy mark on that form; interesting on this first crack at 7f. |
| 17:30 York | (12) Patontheback | | | | | 6 | Rowan Scott | Gemma Tutty | Won two in a row last month (7f, good to firm/good) and has gone close the next twice; he's at the top of his game and is one to consider. |
| 17:30 York | 2nd (13) Finbar's Lad | | | | | 5 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | Back on song when going close at Doncaster (7f, good) last month and didn't enjoy a clear run when close fourth at Leicester (7f, good) most recently; his wins have come on fast ground and he might not be far away. |
| 17:30 York | 3rd (14) Bowman | | | | | 6 | Sam James | Danny Brooke | Won at Catterick (7f, good) in April following wind surgery and bumped into progressive winners when runner-up the next twice (7f, good); good to soft ground may have been against him when well beaten at Catterick last time and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |
| 17:30 York | (15) No Nay Nicki | | | | | 5 | Connor Murtagh | Richard Fahey | Merely mid-division over C&D latest but in a tougher race than this; had previously shown spark over 1m1f/8.4f before fading and she's 10lb lower than when a creditable fifth of 17 in this race last season; a possible. |
| 17:30 York | (16) Utilis | | | | | 4 | Ben Robinson | Brian Ellison | Runner-up at Doncaster (1m, good to soft; also effective on fast ground) last month and he's of interest on that form; however, well beaten the next twice and now 0-16; cheekpieces return (has run okay in them previously). |
| 17:30 York | (17) Kats Bob | | | | | 6 | Andrew Mullen | Iain Jardine | Five-time turf winner who was on the scoresheet at Southwell (6f, AW) in January; however, down the field on his last two runs in February and needs to leave those efforts well behind now back from a break. |
| 17:30 York | (18) One More Dream | | | | | 5 | James Sullivan | John & Sean Quinn | Fair efforts when fifth on turf on last three starts, most recently at Catterick (7f, good to firm) on Wednesday; however, he's 1-16 on turf as opposed to 8-24 on AW, and may again be vulnerable now up in grade. |
| 18:05 York | 3rd (1) Bringbackmemories | | | | | 5 | Mohammed Tabti | Iain Jardine | Tailed off over C&D a fortnight ago but had been in good form last month, finishing third at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) and Newcastle (2m, AW); has run well here in the past and is not ruled out. |
| 18:05 York | 1st (2) Churchella | | | | | 4 | Daniel Tudhope | David O'Meara | Made it five wins from her last ten starts when scoring at Doncaster (1m6f, good to firm) in May, and she stays 2m; she's a contender if at her best but her form has taken a downturn on her last two starts. |
| 18:05 York | 2nd (3) Valley Of Flowers | | | | | 6 | Joanna Mason | Jacqueline Coward | Won four times last year (including on fast ground) and she was a close second of 14 over C&D a fortnight ago; she's up 3lb to a career-high mark but has to be respected on the back of that latest effort. |
| 18:05 York | 4th (4) Le Rouge Chinois | | | | | 4 | Rossa Ryan | Michael Appleby | Down the field over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago but perhaps the ground didn't suit; looked progressive previously and he won at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) two starts ago; he's not discounted. |
| 18:05 York | (5) Gifted Angel | | | | | 4 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | 0-17 on the Flat but won three times over hurdles last year and was a close third in this code over 1m6f at Chester a fortnight ago; there's every chance today's trip will be within range and he could be in the mix. |
| 18:05 York | (6) Marbuzet | | | | | 5 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Won two in a row last September (including over 2m and on fast ground) and had run some good races this season prior to winning at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; came clear with the runner-up in that amateurs' race last time and he's just 2lb higher today; one to consider. |
| 18:05 York | (7) Tailorman | | | | | 4 | Sam Hitchcott | Ian Williams | Below par at Bath nine days ago but prior to that he went close at Chester (2m, good) and the form was franked when the winner followed up; this lightly raced 4yo is not written off. |
| 18:05 York | (8) Red Force One | | | | | 9 | Hollie Doyle | Philip Kirby | Has won his last three starts (1m6f/2m, good to firm), with the first leg of the hat-trick coming off a career-low mark; he's going the back up the weights only slowly and remains 9lb lower than when winning this two years ago; his winning spree may well continue. |
| 18:40 York | (1) Barry's Boy | | | | | 2 | P J McDonald | Denis Coakley | Displayed some ability when fourth at Newbury a fortnight ago on his second start but was soundly beaten and needs another big step forward. |
| 18:40 York | 4th (2) Far Ahead | | | | | 2 | Jack Garritty | Richard Fahey | 48,000euros foal; first foal; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 70) from useful family; this Far Above newcomer is one of three runners for his top northern yard, with the other two having already race; the betting could be informative. |
| 18:40 York | (3) Groundhog | | | | | 2 | Sam James | David & Nicola Barron | 28,000gns yearling; by River Boyne; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners San Pedro (7f 2yo/2m7f-3m2f hurdle) and Excelled (6f 2yo), out of 6f/7f winner; has been gelded; may be one for further down the line. |
| 18:40 York | (4) Impartiality | | | | | 2 | Rowan Scott | Phillip Makin | 14-1 when close third on recent debut at Ayr (7f, good to firm); that form is up there with the best in the field and this half-brother to 7f Listed winner Fair Angellica is open to improvement; key player. |
| 18:40 York | (5) Keats House | | | | | 2 | Billy Garritty | Michael & David Easterby | 40,000euros yearling, 70,000euros 2yo breeze-ups; first foal; dam 1m4f winner (RPR 78) from talented family; likely to improve for this debut outing but stable has had some 2yos run well first time up this season, and it will be no surprise to see a good run from this Earthlight colt. |
| 18:40 York | (6) King Casper | | | | | 2 | Robert Havlin | Hugo Palmer | £26,000 yearling; seventh foal; closely related to 5f/6f AW winner Lua De Mel (RPR 77), half-brother to three winners including Self Aclaim (7f AW for this trainer including 2yo; 91); dam 5f winner (84); trainer having good year with 2yos; this Shaman newcomer could be a contender. |
| 18:40 York | 2nd (8) Praetorian | | | | | 2 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | Promising third of 16 on debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in May and runner-up at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time, behind Billboard Star who was subsequently second in the Group 2 July Stakes; firmly in calculations. |
| 18:40 York | (9) Risk | | | | | 2 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | 25,000euros yearling; first foal; dam French 1m3f/1m5f winner, closely related to 2m winner Overthink, half-sister to 6f 2yo/10.5f winner First Priority, out of 1m2f/14.7f winner; there's a suspicion this Saxon Warrior colt may come into his own when tackling further than this debut trip. |
| 18:40 York | (10) Flamborough Head | | | | | 2 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | 14-1 when ninth of 11, beaten about 7l, on debut at Redcar (7f, good) last Sunday but that doesn't tell the full story as he was repeatedly denied a clear run; trainer's 2yos often improve significantly from their debut efforts and he might not be far away granted better luck this evening. |
| 18:40 York | (11) Is I Right | | | | | 2 | Adam Farragher | James Horton | 10,000euros yearling; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Azul Bahia (Italian 7.5f 2yo) and Sunblessed (US 1m AW); dam 7f-1m4f maiden (RPR 70), half-sister to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Alamode; by Waldgeist and this newcomer may benefit from a longer trip in time. |
| 18:40 York | 3rd (12) Master Of Zest | | | | | 2 | Daniel Tudhope | Patrick Owens | Recovered from slow start for 3l fifth of eight at 80-1 on last month's debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm); his dam was a Canadian stakes winner and he's one to be interested in if sharper for his debut experience. |
| 18:40 York | (13) Seed Investor | | | | | 2 | Tom Eaves | Craig Lidster | 40,000euros yearling; third foal; closely related to French 6f-8.5f winner Reconnect (including 2yo); dam French 5.5f 2yo winner; this Coulsty newcomer is likely to improve for today's debut outing. |
| 18:40 York | (14) Toby Two Scoops | | | | | 2 | Aiden Brookes | Micky Hammond | 66-1, always in rear on this month's debut at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) and is hard to fancy on the back of that. |
| 18:40 York | (15) Vault Of Heaven | | | | | 2 | Ben Robinson | Kevin Frost | Slowly away and well beaten at 125-1 on debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in May; gelded since and he's probably best watched. |
| 18:40 York | (16) Dark Rainbow | | | | | 2 | Connor Murtagh | Richard Fahey | In good hands and there's potential in her pedigree, but she was well beaten at 25-1 on her recent debut at Ripon (6f, good) and needs to be an entirely different proposition this evening. |
| 18:40 York | 1st (17) Elsie's Ruan | | | | | 2 | Joanna Mason | Gemma Tutty | 22,000gns 2yo; second foal; dam placed 1m 2yo/1m2f in Italy, half-sister to Italian 1m 2yo Group 3 winner out of Italian 1,000 Guineas runner-up; represents up-and-coming trainer and this Ulysses filly could give a good account on debut. |
| 18:40 York | (18) Lolapalooza | | | | | 2 | Paul Mulrennan | Patrick Owens | 66-1 when soundly beaten 11th of 15 on debut at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) but made some late headway in that valuable maiden and the form is working out nicely; not ruled out each-way now up in trip on second start. |
| 18:40 York | (19) Rainbow Rays | | | | | 2 | Rossa Ryan | Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | 20,000euros foal, £12,000 yearling, £25,000 2yo breeze-ups; second foal; dam French 1m/9.5f winner, half-sister to some smart winners; stable's 2yos can run well first time up but a useful standard is needed from this Cotai Glory newcomer. |
| 18:40 York | (20) Endeavouryourdream | | | | | 2 | Ryan Sexton | Richard Fahey | Kept on for fair fourth on debut at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month when denied a clear run, and lacked the necessary pace when sixth of eight at Catterick (5f, soft) last time; others have stronger form but today's step up in trip could unlock the required improvement. |
| 19:15 York | (1) Regal Envoy | | | | | 5 | Brandon Wilkie | William Knight | Won a couple of 6f handicaps on turf in June, the second of the off 3lb lower; not quite so good the last twice but this test could suit him well and he should make a bold bid. |
| 19:15 York | (2) It Just Takes Time | | | | | 6 | Alex Jary | Mark Walford | Well treated on last year's best and he hinted at a full revival on his reappearance at Doncaster in April (6f, soft); disappointing since, including at Thirsk last week, and he'll be 3lb lower from the weekend. |
| 19:15 York | (3) Rayat | | | | | 5 | Charlie Bennett | Saeed bin Suroor | Low-mileage 5yo who delivered a career-best when dropped to 6f (good ground) at Nottingham three weeks ago, always prominent and strong at the finish; a 7lb rise for that win doesn't look generous but he still has potential at this trip. |
| 19:15 York | (4) Good Earth | | | | | 7 | Tom Eaves | Michael Herrington | Record over C&D reads -122; three 5f wins last season, the last of them coming off a 10lb higher mark; not found his best form this year but he's too well treated to discount. |
| 19:15 York | (5) Roundhay Park | | | | | 9 | Faye McManoman | Nigel Tinkler | Won the corresponding event in 2020, one of two C&D wins; mixed bag this year but his penultimate fourth here was a good run and a subsequent Doncaster run isn't the one to judge him on. |
| 19:15 York | (6) Kuwait City | | | | | 4 | Jack Gilligan | John Butler | All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing. |
| 19:15 York | (7) May Blossom | | | | | 5 | Ryan Sexton | Julie Camacho | All seven wins at 5f but she wasn't far off her peak RPR when second of nine behind Iris Dancer at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; faster ground no problem but she has more on her plate back against male opposition. |
| 19:15 York | (8) Animate | | | | | 4 | Rowan Scott | Geoffrey Harker | Came from off the pace to win a 6f handicap at Catterick last month (good to soft); still has handicapping scope on turf but he needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run at Thirsk last week. |
| 19:15 York | 5th (9) Archduke Ferdinand | | | | | 5 | Dale Swift | Seb Spencer | Generally campaigned over further since coming to Britain from Sweden, winning handicaps at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) and Doncaster (7f, good) last summer; this year's two best efforts have come on Newcastle's AW track, latterly over 1m four weeks ago; not short of speed but this will be a different test. |
| 19:15 York | (10) Quandary | | | | | 4 | Kevin Stott | Edward Bethell | Just the one win to her name but she was banging at the door in AW handicaps early in the year (5f-7f); no so good back on turf the last twice, however, and cheekpieces are now replaced by new blinkers. |
| 19:15 York | (11) Minnesota Lad | | | | | 4 | Billy Garritty | Richard Fahey | Ended a losing run, and gained first handicap success, when digging deep to score at Doncaster four weeks ago (6f, good to firm); 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |
| 19:15 York | (12) Sibyl Charm | | | | | 4 | Andrew Mullen | Iain Jardine | Three wins at Newcastle early in the year; well treated on that form but no so good since returning to turf this summer and she can get it wrong at the start. |
| 19:15 York | 4th (13) Bay Breeze | | | | | 5 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | He hasn't found his best form this year but he's slipped in the weights and there have been flashes that he retains ability; may benefit from a return to positive tactics and new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
| 19:15 York | (14) Castan | | | | | 4 | Paul Mulrennan | Bryan Smart | He has raced exclusively at 5f since moving into handicaps, winning four times (good, good to soft and AW twice); 2lb lower than for the last success but the sixth furlong is a query. |
| 19:15 York | (15) Count d'Orsay | | | | | 8 | P J McDonald | Tim Easterby | Become more difficult to win with in recent years and although he's run several good races in defeat this year, he would be more appealing over 5f and on softer ground. |
| 19:15 York | 2nd (16) Muscika | | | | | 10 | Ben Robinson | David O'Meara | Veteran with 16 wins to his name, two of them at this track; in good form on AW over the winter but he's been quiet back on turf and this summer, albeit under less-aggressive tactcis; dangerous mark if he's on a good day. |
| 19:15 York | (17) Zaman Jemil | | | | | 4 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | Signs he was finding his feet for this yard and he's operating off a lowly mark now; disappointing at Doncaster on Thursday, though, looking in trouble when badly squeezed out over 1f out. |
| 19:15 York | (18) Runninwild | | | | | 6 | Zak Wheatley | Ann Duffield | Reinvigorated by the addition of cheekpieces, winning a small-field 6f handicap at Carlisle three weeks ago and following up at the same track five days later, tanking through the race and having plenty to spare; up 7lb in a better race but foolish to discount in current form. |
| 19:15 York | 3rd (19) Iris Dancer | | | | | 6 | Marco Ghiani | Tristan Davidson | Eight wins, mainly at Hamilton but also kept on resolutely at Carlisle 15 days ago when getting the better of May Blossom; more on her plate in this field though. |
| 19:15 York | 1st (20) Dicko The Legend | | | | | 4 | Hollie Doyle | Liam Bailey | Two AW wins for his former stable; two good placed efforts for new yard this summer, third over 6f at Pontefract 25 days ago; should remain competitive. |
| 19:15 York | (21) Music Society | | | | | 9 | James Sullivan | Tim Easterby | Powers are looking on the wane as a 9yo but he is fully effective over C&D and is operating off a lowly mark now; may come good soon but perhaps in a less-competitive event. |
| 19:15 York | (22) Kitaab | | | | | 5 | Andrew Elliott | Philip Kirby | Just one win to his name after 18 starts but he made a promising start for his new yard at Chester two weeks ago (5f, good to soft), keeping on strongly from the rear; step back up in trip a plus and his yard are going well. |
| 19:50 York | (1) Dora Milaje | | | | | 4 | Daniel Tudhope | David O'Meara | Made it 3-6 when overcoming traffic issues to win Haydock handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month and soft ground may not have suited in Pontefract Listed race subsequently; not ruled out now back on better ground. |
| 19:50 York | 3rd (2) Fakhama | | | | | 4 | Kevin Stott | William Haggas | Down the field in Kensington Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot and others have stronger form; however, this 4yo remains lightly raced and her half-brother Mujtaba has shown his best form over 1m2f for these top connections, so she's a possible improver now up in trip; not discounted. |
| 19:50 York | 2nd (3) Karmology | | | | | 4 | Sam James | K R Burke | 4yo who made it 3-6 when winning big-field C&D handicap (good to soft) a fortnight ago; has also won on good ground (unraced on faster); has something to find today but she's progressive and could still have more to offer. |
| 19:50 York | 1st (4) Verbier | | | | | 4 | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | Beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in Listed race at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) in May; stretched by 1m4f at Newmarket subsequently; she might not be far away now back down in distance. |
| 19:50 York | 4th (5) Zarabanda | | | | | 5 | Ben Robinson | David O'Meara | Won three soft-ground handicaps last year and close fourth in Ripon handicap (1m2f, soft) in May; however, she looks unlikely to have her preferred conditions this evening and is up against it. |
| 19:50 York | (6) Bolsena | | | | | 3 | Tom Eaves | Kevin Ryan | Tailed off at Sandown three weeks ago but soft ground provides an obvious excuse; prior to that she went close in a Listed race at Goodwood (good) on her first crack at 1m2f and the winner franked the form at Royal Ascot; enters calculations on that penultimate effort. |
| 19:50 York | (7) Ejaabiyah | | | | | 3 | James Doyle | Roger Varian | Won her sole 2yo start (1m2f, good) and reappeared with Listed second at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May; easily won Salisbury novice (1m2f, good to firm) last time; the Newbury form has been let down but this unexposed 3yo, who has two Group 1 entries, holds leading claims today nevertheless. |
| 19:50 York | (8) Ten Dimes | | | | | 3 | Robert Havlin | John & Thady Gosden | All three starts on AW; won at Newcastle (1m) in April on second outing and runner-up in Chelmsford novice (1m2f) next time; she's well down the pecking order on form in this line-up but is in top hands and is very lightly raced, and it will be no surprise to see a chunk of improvement. |
| 19:50 York | (9) Where I Wanna Be | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Ralph Beckett | Won at Nottingham (1m, soft) last September on second start and reappeared with fair Listed third at Goodwood (1m2f, good); however, she was beaten 5l and has since finished down the field in a Listed race at Longchamp (1m4f, soft); needs to raise her game to threaten today. |
| 20:20 York | (1) Ganesha | | | | | 3 | Rowan Scott | Phillip Makin | Three wins as a 2yo; not found his best in three runs this year; down in grade but looks vulnerable to improvers. |
| 20:20 York | 2nd (2) Curious Rover | | | | | 3 | Sam James | Katie Scott | Another who hasn't matched his 2yo best this year, albeit he's hit the frame on his last two starts; should give his running but others bring greater potential. |
| 20:20 York | 4th (3) The Coffee Pod | | | | | 3 | James Doyle | Richard Hannon | Course winner as a 2yo; much of this campaign has been blighted by his refusal to settle but he was a bit more amenable to restraint when winning over 5f (good to soft) here two weeks ago, his lead reduced as the finishing line approached but the damage done from the furlong marker; 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |
| 20:20 York | (4) Vince L'Amour | | | | | 3 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Began his 3yo campaign with a bang but his progress stalled in May/June, albeit in warm races; back on track when second at Haydock three weeks ago; each-way shout once more. |
| 20:20 York | (5) Je Ne Sais Quoi | | | | | 3 | Harrison Shaw | Grant Tuer | Two wins for William Haggas as a 2yo (6f, good to firm and 5f, heavy); yet to beat a rival in two runs for this yard but it was in Listed company on the first occasion and then back from seven months off in May; too soon to write her off. |
| 20:20 York | 3rd (6) Make It Easy | | | | | 3 | Alex Jary | Nigel Tinkler | Only third of six when favourite for a Class 5 at Windsor 25 days ago but the form has worked out well and she impressed with the way she moved through the race; apprentice takes off a useful 5lb and she's up to winning a race of this nature; one of three runners for Nigel Tinkler. |
| 20:20 York | (7) Ticktyboo | | | | | 3 | Tom Eaves | Nigel Tinkler | 0-10 but getting closer, most recently beaten a neck at Newcastle off 2lb lower last month; one of three runners for the yard; each-way shout. |
| 20:20 York | (8) Game Breaker | | | | | 3 | Paul Mulrennan | Rebecca Menzies | Won a Thirsk nursery (6f, soft) for Ralph Beckett last summer but hit hard by the handicapper and she's struggled in three runs for her new stable this year; cheekpieces now tried. |
| 20:20 York | 1st (9) Duran | | | | | 3 | Faye McManoman | Nigel Tinkler | Did a fair bit wrong when winning a 6f maiden at Brighton last month; neither handicap run since suggests he's the answer to this puzzle. |
| 20:20 York | (10) Travel Candy | | | | | 3 | Ben Robinson | Brian Ellison | Three wins as a 2yo, all around a bend; she hasn't threatened in either run this year, however, and the addition of cheekpieces, allied to the return of a tongue-tie, isn't enough of an incentive to get involved. |
| 20:20 York | (11) Scoops Ahoy | | | | | 3 | Daniel Tudhope | David O'Meara | He has had plenty of racing but the addition of cheekpieces has been beneficial, winning at Redcar in May (5f, soft) and placed in both runs since; 3lb well in and should give his running again. |
| 20:20 York | (12) Silky Robin | | | | | 3 | Mark Winn | Paul Midgley | No significant impact in two handicap starts this summer; down in the weights and tried in cheekpieces but others bring more pressing claims. |
| 20:20 York | (13) Merrimack | | | | | 3 | Marco Ghiani | Stuart Williams | 2-2 since dropped to sprint trips and fitted with a visor, making all at Brighton (6f, soft) before another dominant front-running display at Yarmouth nine days ago (5f, good); 4lb well in under a penalty; up in class but he's bred to be smart and there should be more to come now new connections have found the key to him. |
| 20:20 York | (14) Stash The Cash | | | | | 3 | James Sullivan | Tim Easterby | Bolted up at Catterick on his reappearance/handicap debut in April (5f, heavy); he has run some fair races since without progressing; a personal best will be required if he's to win here. |
| 20:20 York | (15) Lettuce Leaf | | | | | 3 | Joanna Mason | Tom Tate | Unexposed filly who ran well behind Scoops Ahoy at Redcar in May and again at Pontefract 17 days ago, keeping on to finish a close second (both 5f, soft); unquestionably has the ability to win races but she looked a particularly tricky ride last time, cocking her jaw in the straight, and she has to prove she can do it on faster ground too. |
