What a great meeting this is, i have a great time at this meeting usually over the years. York is such a great track and is well worth the visit, they do everything very well and the county stand is well worth the upgrade.
1:50 Everything for you is the one that takes my eye at the current prices 20/1. He’s had 2 try’s at York and ran well enough the second time and first time bumped into Group 1 performer Defoe so can be forgiven. His 2nd last time out at Musselburgh will give him a great chance, the 3rd that day was unlucky not to win at Musselburgh on Monday just bumping into a nice type.
Everything For You 20/1 Each way 5 places available.
2:25 Great Prospector is the one that catches my eye here on a mark of 94. I think that he’s better than this but this is also very competitive. His trainer is in great form with 12 winners in last 2 weeks. He does very well at York. I’m willing to back him each way at 11/1 and there are 5 places available on this race.
Great Prospector 11/1 Each way 5 Places
3:00 Invincible Army I think he’s the best horse in the race and will improve a lot from his first run of the season which he won on good ground at Doncaster. I think he’s a proper sprinter to be moving forward with this season and his price does reflect it. This is a nice prize to pick up OJ the way to Royal Ascot
Invincible Army 11/4 Win
3:35 Sparkle Roll I love this filly and so do John Gosden and Qatar Racing. David Redvers is quoted of saying she’s the best horse Qatar have in training and it’s kinda gone under the radar. The boss Johnny G also mentions her a lot when asked about the oaks and always first. Her win on return was a great run giving half a stone away to the field. She’s short enough for this race at 11/4 but she’s my Nap of the day.
Sparkle Roll 11/4 Win Also 16/1 Ante Post for Epsom Oaks
4:05 Karnavaal has some good form last year behind the Top class Skardu. He was well backed at Newmarket on seasonal debut, he’s got a mark of 81 which looks to be low and he is much much better than that mark in my opinion. He will take a lot of beating and has form on the ground
Karnavaal Win 7/2
4:35 Summer Sands now there isn’t much to go on in this race but with the information we do have is that Cool Silk the owners bought him as a 2 year old for £85,000 which was a £83,000 rise from his £2000 purchase as a yearling. What more is it’s by a Sire who’s not fashionable in Coach house but he was very quick as a horse, the dam is a half to Coventry winner Helvellyn. The pedigree screams fast and early. Being a breeze up at 2 and making the money he did by the Sire he would have to have done a nice time.
Summer Sands 16/1 Each way 3 Places
5:05 Delph Crescent a past winner at York for Richard Fahey last season this looks to be a mark of 81 that can be exploited taking this step up on trip and back on the turf after a run at Newcastle to keep him ticking over. I think that he is a 90 horse and can go close here of this Mark.
Delph Crescent 14/1 5 Places
