14:10 York (Class 2) 5f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (7/2 +22%) American Affair	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(4) American Affair 7/2, Progressive 5yo who won with a bit to spare after briefly meeting trouble on Musselburgh reappearance in April; bit better than bare form and 4lb rise is fair; leading claims. Giant strides last year; better than ever on reappearance; looks a Group horse in waiting.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/2 +21%) Jm Jungle	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(8) Jm Jungle 11/2, Ran to form when sound reappearance second at Musselburgh last time; 4lb pull with the cosy, progressive winner now; C&D winner last season and a must for the shortlist. Boasts strong handicap form here; behind American Affair on return but still a big player.
3	7 3rd (7) (18/1 +36%) Toca Madera	18 18/1(+36%)	(7) Toca Madera 18/1, Below-par at Goodwood last time; usually consistent; previous reappearance second at Newmarket gives him each-way shout. Didn't build on his reappearance 2nd when 6th at Goodwood latest; work to do with Shagraan.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 -14%) Shagraan	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Shagraan 8/1, Ran to form when sound third on reappearance at Goodwood last time; may be bit sharper now; everything looks in place for a very bold show. Tough sprinter; solid return at Goodwood two weeks ago; ran well here last year; contender.
5th	15 5th (15) (28/1 -12%) Mon Na Slieve	28 28/1(-12%)	(15) Mon Na Slieve 28/1, Front-runner who might well have done too much too soon last time; each-way claims on previous in-form efforts in April; blinkers on now. Turf win last month but two runs since suggest he has his work cut out; new blinkers today.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 -106%) Vintage Clarets	33 33/1(-106%)	(6) Vintage Clarets 33/1, Very capable 6yo who ran to form with best run so far this year at Ripon last time; needs more in better-contested race now. Best run this year when 3rd at Ripon last month; likely vulnerable on today's ground.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/1 +8%) Trilby	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Trilby 11/1, In good form lately and gradual progress hasn't necessarily levelled off just yet so each-way shout if coping with good to firm (record raises suspicion that good or slower is ideal). Still well treated but fast 5f on fast ground may not be the conditions for him to show it.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +33%) Zoulu Chief	12 12/1(+33%)	(11) Zoulu Chief 12/1, Speedy sport who made all to win good 6f nursery here in 2023; sound Ascot third on just second start since back from absence latest; sharper now; shortlisted. Course win as a 2yo (6f); promising 3rd at Ascot last time & now has something to build on.
9th	5 9th (5) (11/1 -10%) Pilgrim	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Pilgrim 11/1, Won big handicap at Ascot last June and appeals strongly as the type to win another one this term; good reappearance run at Ripon recently and respected up 2lb now. Royal Ascot win last summer on the only occasion he's had 5f and fast ground; has C&D form.
10th	3 10th (3) (13/2 +13%) Spartan Arrow	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(3) Spartan Arrow 13/2, Career-best form in first-time cheekpieces in latest decisive Epsom win; 7lb rise is fair and ran well in this last year (third of 17), so a leading contender. Looked smart at Epsom latest (cheekpieces first time); up 7lb but still has low mileage.
11th	9 11th (9) (8/1 +6%) Vantheman	8 8/1(+6%)	(9) Vantheman 8/1, Possibly needed race at Newmarket last time; return to this optimum trip of 5f a help but slight doubt about fast ground and others preferred overall. Ran a stormer at this meeting last year; sharper for last month's return; interesting.
12th	17 12th (17) (28/1 -40%) Fine Wine	28 28/1(-40%)	(17) Fine Wine 28/1, Respectable front-running third at Musselburgh last time on second start since back from absence; 8yo isn't as good as he was and doubtful that he'll be adding to his win in this in 2022. Won this race in 2022; regressed since but latest Musselburgh third was better.
13th	12 13th (12) (28/1 +15%) Ventura Express	28 28/1(+15%)	(12) Ventura Express 28/1, Capable 8yo on his day but recent balance of form needs improving upon, especially pitched into better-contested race than of late now. Running well in defeat this year but surprising if there weren't a few better treated.
14th	13 14th (13) (25/1 +24%) Nazron	25 25/1(+24%)	(13) Nazron 25/1, Ran to form over 6f at Wolverhampton last time; return to 5f a likely plus and could be sharper again now but needs a bit more on balance of last few runs. Handicapped to win & latest run hugely promising; in deeper today but still unexposed.
15th	18 15th (18) (25/1 +0%) Lethal Nymph	25 25/1(+0%)	(18) Lethal Nymph 25/1, Something possibly amiss when below-par at Thirsk last time, when jockey understandably eased off; on long losing run; fair bit to prove overall. On losing run and failed to fire last time; tough race in which to end his drought.
16th	14 16th (14) (22/1 +45%) Vince L'amour	22 22/1(+45%)	(14) Vince L'amour 22/1, Yard has won two of last five runnings of race; did not get a clear run at Musselburgh last time; acts on good but anything quicker a concern; others appeal more. C&D win in October came on soft; finished behind a few of these at Musselburgh last time.
17th	2 17th (2) (18/1 +28%) Tees Spirit	18 18/1(+28%)	(2) Tees Spirit 18/1, Bit more needed on balance of form especially pitched into better-contested race than last time (only fifth of seven); often forces the pace. Two runs this year suggest he'll do well to better last season's fifth in this race.

14:10 York (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Having fended off reopposing rival Jm Jungle on his return to action at Musselburgh last month, American Affair warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, a 4lb rise demands more from the five-year-old and fellow last-time-out winner SPARTAN ARROW may prove more leniently handicapped. Archie Watson's charge looked improved for the introduction of cheekpieces at Epsom and he may defy a 7lb higher mark. Shagraan and Pilgrim are the pick of the remainder.

American Affair is a major player but Nazron and JM JUNGLE are viable alternatives.

14:42 York (Class 2) 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (9/2 +55%) Old Cock	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(7) Old Cock 9/2, Yard won this last year; didn't get a clear run in the Lincoln on reappearance but would still liked to have seen him fare better; lightly raced; bit to prove for now. Made it 3-5 last August; hasn't kicked on since but not written off back on better ground.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/2 +67%) Sisyphean	2.5 5/2(+67%)	(6) Sisyphean 5/2, Off since down the field here in October, when soft over 10f was possibly unsuitable; won well over C&D in July and very much a contender on that; well-bred possible improver this year too. Impressive over C&D last July and could make a bold bid under Ryan Moore on reappearance.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -80%) La Trinidad	18 18/1(-80%)	(3) La Trinidad 18/1, Ended last season out of sorts but this 8yo was back on track with sound reappearance third at Thirsk this month; C&D winner; up 2lb but a contender. Returned with fine 3rd at Thirsk but it's a long time since he won here; may be vulnerable.
4	15 4th (15) (16/1 +36%) Urban Sprawl	16 16/1(+36%)	(15) Urban Sprawl 16/1, Generally running well, last time fourth at Newmarket; bit more required now; used to act on fast ground but 2024 evidence raises a slight doubt. In fair form on turf on his last three starts but may be vulnerable in his hot handicap.
5th	8 5th (8) (8/1 -33%) Romieu	8 8/1(-33%)	(8) Romieu 8/1, This demands more for sure but did it well in Redcar novice on last month's stable/seasonal debut and is very much an unexposed potential improver handicapping now; respected. Made it 2-3 on British debut; in at deep end on handicap debut but could be up to the task.
6th	11 6th (11) (14/1 +13%) Stanage	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Stanage 14/1, The drop to 6f a possible excuse last time; in good form at 7f previously; seemed to stay 1m once last season; still not necessarily fully exposed and worth considering. Lightly raced 4yo who made a really good start to his season and had an excuse last time.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +52%) Alzahir	12 12/1(+52%)	(5) Alzahir 12/1, Two wins this spring at his optimum trip of 7f (albeit has one 1m win to his name too); bit below form latest and now looks bit high in the weights. Won two in a row earlier this spring; two losses since, which knock him down pecking order.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -45%) Northern Express	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Northern Express 16/1, Yet to come to hand this season but the return of the cheekpieces a positive sign now; second in this last year and this proven big-handicap performer has each-way shout again. Went close in this 12 months ago and the reapplied cheekpieces could be a plus; player.
9th	13 9th (13) (16/1 -45%) Mr King	16 16/1(-45%)	(13) Mr King 16/1, Needs to refind best form but it's interesting that he was a market springer last time when a wide trip didn't help; worth considering from (on best form) a handy enough mark. On a handy mark and had an excuse when a well-backed favourite in the Thirsk Hunt Cup.
10th	14 10th (14) (33/1 -106%) Theme Park	33 33/1(-106%)	(14) Theme Park 33/1, Needs to find more on latest fair Pontefract third though that was a step in the right direction on just second start of 2025; each-way claims on best 2024 form, including a C&D win. C&D winner who will be suited by the expected competitive gallop in this big field.
11th	2 11th (2) (28/1 -75%) Cerulean Bay	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) Cerulean Bay 28/1, Probably needed at Haydock last time; ended last season in good form and still feasibly weighted, so a contender if he's back to peak form now. Hat-trick last summer; may have needed comeback run, but has to take sizeable step forward.
12th	9 12th (9) (18/1 -50%) Cruyff Turn	18 18/1(-50%)	(9) Cruyff Turn 18/1, 8yo has been in good heart this spring and he each-way claims in a race he won in 2022 (albeit down the field in last two runnings); trip/ground are fine. Arrives in good form; won this in 2022 but a long time since he's threatened here.
13th	4 13th (4) (9/2 +0%) Blue For You	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(4) Blue For You 9/2, All of his wins have been in July/August, most recently over C&D last July; fourth in this last year; promising reappearance third at Haydock (briefly hampered) last month augurs well. Last three wins have come over C&D; reappearance third at Haydock bodes extremely well.
14th	12 14th (12) (33/1 -175%) Dingle	33 33/1(-175%)	(12) Dingle 33/1, In great form on his favoured AW, the scene of all six of his wins; shade more needed here and big doubts about fast turf on previous efforts on it. 1m AW wins the last twice but he's 6-21 on AW as opposed to 0-14 on grass.

14:42 York (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

ROMIEU was quite taking on his UK debut when making all in a novice event at Redcar last month. An official rating of 90 looks workable for the Lope De Vega gelding and a third victory in four outings could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from the returning Sisyphean, who ran out an easy winner over C&D in July last year. Blue For You and La Trinidad are some other likely players.

The well-bred and lightly raced 4yo STANAGE (nap) still has lots of potential upside and is the selection ahead of Northern Express.

15:13 York (Class 1) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (8/11 +58%) See The Fire	0.727273 8/11(+58%)	(7) See The Fire 8/11, Just about ran to form on last month's reappearance against males; big chance in particular on last season's peak form, including Gr 3 win here (1m1f); stays 1m2f fine; the one to beat. Led briefly 1f out on return and may have needed the race; big chance if back to her best.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -140%) Beautiful Love	12 12/1(-140%)	(2) Beautiful Love 12/1, Possibly needed race at Newmarket most recent run, though ran well enough; peak form, including Gr 3 win in US (1m3f, firm) in September, makes her a leading player. Has a good chance on her US form, which was not reproduced at Newmarket 11 days ago.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +0%) Royal Dress	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Royal Dress 14/1, Off since below-par run in August; more needed even on career-best form when winning 9f Gr 3 earlier; doubts about this longer trip/fast ground; goes well fresh but others preferred. Going beyond 1m1f for first time could suit judged on her Group 3 Curragh win last July.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 +20%) Ambiente Amigo	16 16/1(+20%)	(1) Ambiente Amigo 16/1, In fine form since attention has been turned back to the Flat after a stint hurdling, last time Listed winner at Nottingham (1m2f); up against it in this much tougher company. Half-length win over Karmology in 1m2f Listed race at Nottingham; this demands plenty more.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 +55%) Karmology	10 10/1(+55%)	(4) Karmology 10/1, Useful filly last season, when a C&D winner; ran to form on reappearance in Listed race at Nottingham latest; considerably more needed; opposable. Proved herself last term; good 2nd in Listed race on return but just behind Ambiente Amigo.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 +9%) Doha	5 5/1(+9%)	(3) Doha 5/1, Yard won this last year; excuses on final start last year (12f too far, on soft); needs more on smart previous form but interesting that this superbly-bred mare is being kept on as a 5yo. Needs to resume improvement but this daughter of two Arc winners may still find extra.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -257%) Sioux Life	50 50/1(-257%)	(8) Sioux Life 50/1, Good strike-rate in Italy while she ended 2024 in fine form; needs more form wise and faster ground an unknown; however, far from fully exposed and worth considering for new yard. Ended her time in Italy over 1m2f in the mud, with a victory by 4l going away in Group 2.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 -120%) Nakheel	11 11/1(-120%)	(5) Nakheel 11/1, Lightly-raced filly who won at 1m2f earlier on last term but improved form in cheekpieces when upped to 14f and Gr 2 winner on final start; could progress again but 10f is the question. Won Doncaster Group 2 (good to soft) in September in first cheekpieces, suited by 14.5f.

15:13 York (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Although she could only muster a fifth-placed finish in the Gordon Richards at Sandown last month, there is every chance that SEE THE FIRE could improve for that seasonal debut. Andrew Balding's filly posted several creditable efforts in defeat at the top level last year and a return to the scene of her last success could prove fruitful. Nakheel ended her 2024 campaign on an upward trajectory and, despite this trip looking on the sharp side, the Park Hill hero shouldn't be underestimated. Doha should also have better days ahead.

Last season's Group 1 contender See The Fire may well start a warm favourite but ROYAL DRESS looks interesting upped to 1m2f.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (18/1 -50%) Pride Of Arras	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Pride Of Arras 18/1, Strong promise in his debut win at Sandown (1m) back in August; 1m2f+ should suit this year; Derby entry is promising but this is a big ask for one so inexperienced. Defied inexperience to power clear on sole 2yo run; absent since but an exciting prospect.
2	2 2nd (2) (16/1 -14%) Damysus	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Damysus 16/1, Well-bred twice-raced colt who shaped as though the experience would improve him (green) when third in Gr 3 at Sandown; Derby entry needs to improve but decidedly interesting here. Reappeared with close 3rd in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown; every chance he'll improve.
3	11 3rd (11) (7/1 -17%) Wimbledon Hawkeye	7 7/1(-17%)	(11) Wimbledon Hawkeye 7/1, Smart performer at up to 1m, including 2024 Gr 2 win and this spring's form, latterly when 6l fifth in 2,000 Guineas; has the form to be involved if seeing out the 10f (uncertain on pedigree) Kept on for a creditable fifth in 2,000 Guineas and could relish today's longer trip.
4	3 4th (3) (40/1 -21%) Devil's Advocate	40 40/1(-21%)	(3) Devil's Advocate 40/1, AW winner (1m2f) on second start last autumn; well held on last month's seasonal return at Epsom (too keen); cheekpieces now; Derby entry needs a big step up on form so far. Soundly beaten at Epsom; likely capable of better but hard to be confident after that run.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +36%) Nightwalker	16 16/1(+36%)	(5) Nightwalker 16/1, Lightly-raced colt who will need to improve a lot on stable/seasonal debut third at Newmarket (9f) last month; stayed on then so this Derby entry promises to be suited by further here. Maybe unsuited by Newmarket in Group 3/Listed races; the flat track may prompt improvement.
6th	9 6th (9) (8/11 +34%) The Lion In Winter	0.727273 8/11(+34%)	(9) The Lion In Winter 8/11, Two from two last year, notably when winning decisively in 7f Gr 3 here in August; that's good form and gives him leading claims but absence since a slight worry; Derby entry should stay. Will reportedly "come forward" for this run but he's a top-class prospect; respected.
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 -57%) Tuscan Hills	22 22/1(-57%)	(10) Tuscan Hills 22/1, Two from two as a 2yo, both at 1m and latterly in Pontefract Listed race; shaped then as if he'd stay 10f this year (pedigree inconclusive); Derby entry needs more but he's unexposed. 2-2 in 2yo campaign, including Listed win; ceiling of ability is yet to be identified.
8th	8 8th (8) (25/1 -25%) Sea Scout	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Sea Scout 25/1, Improved again when winning 10f Listed race at Epsom last time; steadily progressive; unproven on fast ground; more required but Derby entry does keep on improving. Neck win in Listed Blue Riband Trial at Epsom; likely needs another sizeable step forward.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 +33%) Royal Playwright	12 12/1(+33%)	(7) Royal Playwright 12/1, Smart 2yo, best form when second in 1m Gr 2 at Newmarket (soft; acts on good); bit below that form on last month's satisfactory return (AW); should stay 10f; Derby entry needs more. Some solid Group form; dam won C&D Group 1; may lack the star potential of some of these.
10th	4 10th (4) (50/1 -52%) Mister Rizz	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Mister Rizz 50/1, Fulfilled AW debut promise when upped to 10f and easy, odds-on winner at Doncaster last time; promising but this is so much harder. Takes huge leap in grade but has shown promise and could have lots more to offer.
11th	1 11th (1) (13/2 +0%) Alpine Trail	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(1) Alpine Trail 13/2, Three from three, last time making all for decisive win in 10f Listed race; this is harder for sure but this Derby entry ought to have more to come; has been supplemented for this. Made it 3-3 with Listed win at Newmarket & could take this rise in his grade in his stride.

15:45 York (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

THE LION IN WINTER unfortunately missed his initial intended assignment in the first Classic this year, but there is no doubting the level of ability the son of Sea The Stars showed in his juvenile campaign. Aidan O'Brien's colt produced a sparkling performance to beat Wimbledon Hawkeye (second) and subsequent 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court (third) in the Acomb here last summer. He is likely to have lots more to offer, especially with this step up in distance expected to bring about any amount of improvement. Alpine Trail is unbeaten in three starts, with his best effort coming when successful in Listed company at Newmarket just under a fortnight ago, and he is one to watch.

Charlie Appleby could have another star 3yo on his hands in ALPINE TRAIL. Wimbledon Hawkeye is second choice now up in trip.

1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +11%) Tropical Storm	4 4/1(+11%)	(7) Tropical Storm 4/1, It's possible he needed the race at Newmarket last time but that below-par run needs improving upon; usually consistent; big form chance on last August's C&D Listed (good to firm) win. C&D Listed winner last August and may have needed recent reappearance; one to consider.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 +25%) Star Of Mehmas	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(8) Star Of Mehmas 9/2, Progressive Listed-race winner (5f) as a 2yo and resumed with fair enough run on AW (6f) recently, when wide trip didn't help; return to 5f could help; respected. 2yo Listed winner; reappeared with very creditable Listed 3rd; respected under 3lb penalty.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 +60%) Miss Lamai	10 10/1(+60%)	(9) Miss Lamai 10/1, Listed-race winner in Ireland last season; satisfactory return in France last month; return to a bare 5f may well help but bit to find. Listed winner but hasn't really threatened in Group races on last three starts; vulnerable.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -39%) Sir Yoshi	25 25/1(-39%)	(5) Sir Yoshi 25/1, Interesting that his standout run, third in Listed race in August, came over C&D on fast ground; something to prove on form since but not completely ruled out. Opposable on vast majority of form but not ruled out each-way in view of C&D Listed third.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 +54%) Mr Lightside	3 3/1(+54%)	(4) Mr Lightside 3/1, Yard won this last year; creditable second at Chelmsford (6f; led) latest on reappearance; that and some of last season's form entitle to respect, while return to 5f of no great concern. Just behind Aesterius when close third in last season's Group 3 Molecomb; possible player.
6th	1 6th (1) (15/8 -7%) Aesterius	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(1) Aesterius 15/8, Very good 2yo season, notably when Gr 2 winner at Doncaster (5f); penalty makes this tricky but still a leading player and won first time out last year. Reappears carrying 5lb penalty but his Group 2 Flying Childers win reads extremely well.
7th	2 7th (2) (66/1 +0%) Captain Kinsella	66 66/1(+0%)	(2) Captain Kinsella 66/1, Better than bare form (hampered) at Sandown last time; in good form previously; unproven on fast ground; hard to recommend upped steeply in grade. Denied a clear run in Sandown handicap last time but looks up against it now up in grade.

16:18 York (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Aesterius took the Flying Childers at Doncaster prior to a respectable sixth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar last season and his chance is there for all to see. However, STAR OF MEHMAS did well to finish as close as third in Listed company at Chelmsford on her return and may take a big step forward. Richard Hughes' filly has plenty of pace and, with a smoother trip on the drop from 6f, she could be the one to beat. Mr Lightside and Tropical Storm are in with a shout too.

He lacks a recent outing but AESTERIUS displayed impressive form in 5f Group races last season and is taken to defy a 5lb penalty.

3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 +31%) Jan Steen	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(1) Jan Steen 11/2, Yard won this last year; clearcut winner at odds-on in four-runner maiden at Thirsk (5f) on debut; up in trip now; contender. Carries 5lb penalty and had just three rivals to beat on debut at Thirsk but did it easily.
4	2 4th (2) (11/8 +21%) Wise Approach	1.375 11/8(+21%)	(2) Wise Approach 11/8, 1,000,000gns yearling; half-brother to Gr 1 winner Perfect Power; very promising start when winning useful 5f contest at Ascot recently; 6f should suit. Carries 5lb penalty for Ascot win but cost 1,000,000gns and could have lots more to offer.
5th	11 5th (11) (3/1 -9%) Tadej	3 3/1(-9%)	(11) Tadej 3/1, Well backed 7-2 shot when shaping as if 6f would suit better and close fourth to Wise Approach at Ascot (5f) this month; 5lb pull with that rival now; leading claims. Close 4th to Wise Approach on debut at Ascot and 5lb better off with the winner; contender.
6th	5 6th (5) (200/1 -100%) Going Commando	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Going Commando 200/1, Well beaten in a novice over 5f at Beverley (28-1) only start; up in trip; difficult to fancy. Well beaten at 28-1 on his debut at Beverley and is probably best watched for now.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 +20%) Romeo Montague	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) Romeo Montague 16/1, 1 February foal; £140,000 Sergei Prokofiev colt; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; yard in good form; may be best watched on debut unless betting says otherwise. £140,000 yearling; trainer saddled last year's runner-up (subsequent Listed winner).
8th	12 8th (12) (250/1 -279%) Lina Codina	250 250/1(-279%)	(12) Lina Codina 250/1, 26 Mach foal; 32,000gns breeze-up purchase by Sergei Prokofiev; dam fair at 10f; highly likely best watched. Takes on males on debut and likely to improve for the run; others preferred.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 +0%) Kinnalargy	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Kinnalargy 33/1, 13 February foal; £125,000 breeze-up purchase by Havana Grey; half-brother to Daylight Ransom, useful at 7f; dam useful at 11f; yard in good form and can introduce a good one here. £125,000 2yo breeze-ups; worth a market check on debut given last month's purchase price.
10th	4 10th (4) (40/1 -60%) Full Gas	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) Full Gas 40/1, 2 May foal; 60,000euros Bungle Inthejungle colt; full-brother to Funny Money Honey, very smart at 5f; dam poor at 6f; yard in good form and can introduce a good 2yo at this track. Will need to be very useful to make winning debut in this race but has precocious pedigree.
11th	6 11th (6) (66/1 -164%) Isambard Kingdom	66 66/1(-164%)	(6) Isambard Kingdom 66/1, 16 May foal, which is quite late; 115,000gns No Nay Never colt; half-brother to The Parent, smart at 9f; dam very smart at 7f; best watched on debut unless betting says otherwise. 115,000gns yearling; should have a future but may be one for later on.

16:55 York (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Jan Steen and WISE APPROACH both made winning debuts and the experience will count for a lot. The former impressed with a romp in a Thirsk maiden and is a bright prospect for Karl Burke's yard. However, it was a deeper contest Wise Approach won at Ascot and with a return there possible for something like the Coventry at the Royal meeting, this provides an ideal stepping stone for Godolphin's 1,000,000gns son of Mehmas. The betting should be informative where newcomers such as Full Gas, First Legion and Spaceman are concerned.

Godolphin's 1,000,000gns yearling WISE APPROACH finished strongly to win over 5f at Ascot two weeks ago and can defy a penalty.

17:25 York (Class 3) 11f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5/2 +17%) Merchant	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(5) Merchant 5/2, AW novice winner late last year; improved on that form when third at Newmarket (10f) recently; gave the strong impression there that 1m4f would suit better; likely improver now. Kept edging closer to go down by a length when 11-10 at Newmarket (1m2f); 1m4f plausible.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 -10%) Rahiebb	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(2) Rahiebb 11/2, Quickly made up into useful sort this spring, last time upped to extended 11f and close second on turf debut; needs a bit more on handicap debut but could easily find it. Made most at Haydock (11.6f novice, good) but picked off by good prospect in final strides.
3	7 3rd (7) (13/2 +28%) Many Men	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(7) Many Men 13/2, Hat-trick bid came unstuck latest but still ran okay in race that didn't pan out ideally; faster ground and longer trip (may well stay) now; needs to pull out more. Two 1m2f wins before creditable, never-nearer 5th at Sandown; 1m4f looks well worth a go.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -88%) Pantile Warrior	16 16/1(-88%)	(3) Pantile Warrior 16/1, Made too much use at Doncaster latest; significant jockey booking; not a certain stayer on pedigree upped to 12f; bit to find Good-ground 2nds last year were better form than this season's 1-6 win and handicap fourth.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 +29%) Last Galileo	10 10/1(+29%)	(6) Last Galileo 10/1, Won 1m novice on second and final 2yo start; perhaps last month's return was needed but improvement on that form required now; brother to a 1m6f winner. This handicap debut looks far more realistic, with fair claims to stay the extra 3f.
6th	8 6th (8) (13/2 +35%) Novelista	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(8) Novelista 13/2, Some promise in three autumn runs at 9f-10f on soft/heavy; improvement needed handicapping now but that's quite possible; mixed messages pedigree wise as regards 12f. New trip will suit; interesting handicap/seasonal debutant if he goes on the ground.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 -229%) Tuscan Star	28 28/1(-229%)	(4) Tuscan Star 28/1, Gradually progressive on AW, last time not falling far short when upped to 12f and bidding for a four-timer; well beaten sole previous turf start (debut); considered. AW hat-trick before improvement ran out of steam when a close 3rd of four at Wolverhampton.
8th	1 8th (1) (3/1 +14%) Anniversary	3 3/1(+14%)	(1) Anniversary 3/1, Bright start to career last season, winning on debut (1m) and then twice second, latterly at 10f; has been gelded; pedigree strongly suggests he'll appreciate 1m4f; much respected. 2nd to Many Men in six-runner nursery at Newmarket (1m2f, heavy); 1m4f+ will suit him well.

17:25 York (Class 3) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Anniversary and RAHIEBB boast almost identical form profiles and hold significant chances. The former resumes with scope for progression in handicaps, although this is his first start since October and the prospect of fast ground could be problematic. Rahiebb has thrived with two respectable second-placed finishes since he made a winning debut at Newcastle in March. Given the son of Frankel was conceding a penalty to a promising type at Haydock, his most recent effort looks highly commendable. Merchant and Tuscan Star are other strong contenders.

Most are open to improvement, including ANNIVERSARY who looked a good prospect for this sort of trip at Newmarket in October.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
