14:00 York Handicap (Class 3) 12f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (2.75/1 +21%) Kihavah	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(5) Kihavah 2.75/1, Dual purpose performer who landed C&D handicap for second successive year at the Dante Meeting last month. Continued good work when following up over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.6f) 16 days ago and worth considering again in present groove. Won over C&D at Dante meeting and has strong claims under good Irish amateur Jody Townend.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/1 -17%) Dream Harder	7 7/1(-17%)	(9) Dream Harder 7/1, Good advert for this yard, gaining fourth success of a fruitful AW campaign at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February. Hard to knock his efforts in defeat since, likely he'd have gone very close with a bit more luck when fourth at Chester (10.3f, heavy) in May. One to note. Eyecatching fourth at Chester last month and represents last year's winning jockey/trainer.
3	6 3rd (6) (40/1 -60%) Furzig	40 40/1(-60%)	(6) Furzig 40/1, Capitalised on drop in weights when landing back-to-back Catterick handicaps (12f) last autumn. Never figured in November Handicap thereafter and whilst not seen to best effect on AW final start, she may just need this on back of 6 months off. Won two in a row last October but down the field the next twice; returns from time off.
4	13 4th (13) (6/1 +0%) Bollin Margaret	6 6/1(+0%)	(13) Bollin Margaret 6/1, Winless last year but mark has tumbled and justified good support to end the drought at Thirsk (12f) at the start of the month. Edged out on post in 3-runner handicap at Haydock (11.6f) since and she's a live each-way player in this form. Easy win at Thirsk on June 5; beaten at Haydock on Wednesday but still ran well; respected.
4	3 4th (3) (6.5/1 +41%) Yorkshire Lady	6.5 6.5/1(+41%)	(3) Yorkshire Lady 6.5/1, Progressed well at 3 and found further improvement when adding to her tally in determined style at Ayr (10f) in September. Not disgraced thereafter and she's entitled to come on for her midfield effort over shorter here 4 weeks ago. One to consider up in trip. Could improve for fair reappearance run here and this first crack at 1m4f is worth a go.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +31%) Piecederesistance	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Piecederesistance 11/1, Made a very bright return last season, confirming promise of his reappearance run when scoring at Pontefract (10f) in July. Placed twice over hurdles under this pilot thereafter and not disgraced when 7½ lengths sixth of 18 to Kihavah over C&D last month. Fair sixth of 18 over C&D last month but this free-going sort seems best at 1m2f.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 +0%) Cardano	22 22/1(+0%)	(4) Cardano 22/1, Useful handicapper for Ian Williams who ran below best confined to just 2 starts last summer. Has been given a chance by the assessor ahead of return/yard debut and the betting may prove a useful guide following 12 months off. First run since last June but well treated on old form and not ruled out.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 -136%) Postmark	33 33/1(-136%)	(2) Postmark 33/1, Dual Flat winner last summer, latterly on yard debut at Lingfield (10f, AW) in August. Tasted success over hurdles in February but not built on that in 3 subsequent starts in that sphere. Others make more appeal returned to the level. Could be suited by the return to the Flat and his stable is going well; respected.
9th	14 9th (14) (28/1 -75%) Masque Of Anarchy	28 28/1(-75%)	(14) Masque Of Anarchy 28/1, Built on solid return when taking 12-runner handicap from the front at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) in May. Found things tougher from 3 lb higher mark at Wetherby (10f) since though, and others make greater appeal. Back on the scoresheet at Pontefract last month but merely mid-division at Wetherby since.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (7.5/1 +0%) Saratoga Gold	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(1) Saratoga Gold 7.5/1, Four-time winner over staying trips last season (improved for fitting of blinkers) before signing off with good fourth at Goodwood (12f) in the autumn. Ran up to his best when third on return at Newmarket (14f) 4 weeks ago and not ruled out from this sort of mark. Won three in a row last year and could build on good reappearance third; solid contender.
10th	10 10th (10) (18/1 -50%) Impulsive One	18 18/1(-50%)	(10) Impulsive One 18/1, Fairly useful for William Haggas and developed into a useful performer over hurdles for Nicky Henderson, winning 5 times. Creditable third in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) for new yard 8 days ago and he's no forlorn hope here. Talented hurdler; interesting contender on this first Flat start since January 2022.
11th	15 11th (15) (80/1 -142%) Billy Roberts	80 80/1(-142%)	(15) Billy Roberts 80/1, Veteran C&D winner who ended last year with a couple of below par efforts but returned to form on back of 4 months off when second at Ripon (9.7f) in May. Not in same form back on firmer ground at that venue 16 days ago and expected to find a few too good here. Well beaten last time and tailed off in this race last year on a rare attempt at 1m4f.
12th	12 12th (12) (40/1 -43%) Outsmart	40 40/1(-43%)	(12) Outsmart 40/1, Improved upon returning last season, winning twice and posted solid placed efforts on 2 of final 3 starts on AW/turf. Stepped up on opening pair of runs on Flat this spring when second over hurdles latest but this trip may just stretch him. Below last winning mark but hasn't shone this year and is unproven at today's trip.
13th	8 13th (8) (33/1 -106%) Noble Anthem	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Noble Anthem 33/1, Successful twice at up to 10f during first half of last term but rather disappointing thereafter, including over hurdles in the autumn. Entitled to come on for his reappearance run at Haydock 3 weeks ago however, and he remains unexposed at this trip. A long time since he's run well but below last winning mark; one to watch in the betting.
14th	11 14th (11) (12/1 +25%) Shake A Leg	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) Shake A Leg 12/1, Dual winner in 2022 who hasn't threatened in 2 starts so far this season, albeit his latest C&D run following 11 weeks off likely to have taken some of the freshness out of him. Not underestimated from reduced mark for good stable. Below last winning mark but only eighth of 18 behind Kihavah over C&D last month.

LTO Selection:

14:00 York Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

KIHAVAH has really found his footing of late, with triumphs across both codes, and the six-year-old is fancied to record a third C&D success. Saratoga Gold made a pleasing reappearance when third at Newmarket last month and is feared most off 1lb lower. Dream Harder should appreciate this return to 1m 4f and Ian Williams' gelding looks to have more races in him off his mark too, while the in-form Bollin Margaret cannot be discounted either.

Having enjoyed a highly-productive spell on all-weather, DREAM HARDER again ran well when finishing a close-up fourth back on turf at Chester last month, likely to have finished closer still granted a little luck. He's still unexposed at this sort of trip, and this mark doesn't look beyond him on that evidence so he earns the vote. The thriving Kihavah may emerge as the chief threat, with Yorkshire Lady and Bollin Margaret others to consider. Shake A Leg also makes each-way appeal.

Having won a competitive C&D handicap at last month's Dante meeting, KIHAVAH gets the nod under Irish amateur Jody Townend.

14:00 York Handicap (Class 3) 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:35 York Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (8/1 -7%) Wild Lion	8 8/1(-7%)	(4) Wild Lion 8/1, Enhanced an excellent record on all-weather when landing 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m) in October, always holding on. Wasn't quite in the same form back on turf at Meydan 5 months later, though. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. 0-5 on turf as opposed to 3-4 on AW but has shown promise on grass; possible player.
2	2 2nd (2) (22/1 -10%) Gweedore	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Gweedore 22/1, Won 3 times in 2022 and reappeared with a career best to land 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh in April. Ran at least as well in defeat at Haydock next time but poor efforts last 2 starts. Career-best form when winning in April but down the field the last twice.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 -10%) Scottish Summit	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Scottish Summit 11/1, Confirmed promise of last run when recording an eighth success in 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 28 days ago, readily. Likely to go well again. Won in a big field at Thirsk last time and he's respected up 4lb.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 +30%) Snash	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Snash 14/1, Dual winner last year but is operating below his best at present, plugging on into fifth at Hamilton last week. On the plus side, he continues to ease in the weights. Well handicapped on last season's best form but not shaping like an imminent winner.
5th	12 5th (12) (14/1 +0%) Judgment Call	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Judgment Call 14/1, Resumed winning ways at Ayr in May but had every chance back up in grade when fourth there (7.2f) last time. Needs to pull out more. Improved form when winning at Ayr last month but only fourth back there last time.
6th	8 6th (8) (6.5/1 +7%) Liamarty Dreams	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(8) Liamarty Dreams 6.5/1, Got back on the up when winning 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago, rallying having been headed over 1f out. The fourth from that race has come out and won since, so he's respected from a 5 lb higher mark. Won at Musselburgh a fortnight ago; up 5lb to career-high mark but he's in top form.
7th	7 7th (7) (3.5/1 +22%) Darkness	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(7) Darkness 3.5/1, Remains winless for this yard but confirmed his return to form when second in 9-runner event at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last weekend, headed only final 50 yds. Obvious player from the same mark. Caught close home the last twice and holds obvious claims if his fine form continues.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 -79%) Carnival Zain	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Carnival Zain 25/1, Progressive in 2022, winning 5 times, but the handicapper seems to have caught up with him and he underperformed at Chester 3 weeks ago. Five wins last year; however, has to better his last two performances if he's to win this.
9th	10 9th (10) (9/1 -64%) Eligible	9 9/1(-64%)	(10) Eligible 9/1, Is a likeable sort who resumed winning ways with the headgear left off in 20-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) 29 days ago, leading final 100 yds. Nudged up 3 lb and should remain competitive. Came from the back for big-field C&D win last month and a 3lb rise may not stop him.
10th	1 10th (1) (20/1 +39%) Snazzy Jazzy	20 20/1(+39%)	(1) Snazzy Jazzy 20/1, Talented on his day but he refused to race on his reappearance at Thirsk and ran poorly returned to a handicap in first-time tongue strap here last time. Others appeal more. Could improve for last month's run here; on a handy mark on last year's best form.
11th	11 11th (11) (9/1 +10%) Fortamour	9 9/1(+10%)	(11) Fortamour 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but has been shaping up well recently and was unlucky not to finish closer when fifth at Ripon (6f) 10 days ago. Remains one to be interested in. Making headway when denied clear run over C&D last month; contender if getting the breaks.
12th	6 12th (6) (6.5/1 +28%) Admiral D	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(6) Admiral D 6.5/1, Largely ran well in 2022 without getting his head in front. Creditable fifth on Newmarket reappearance but not in same form both outings subsequently, including back at this trip in Victoria Cup on most recent outing. Bit to prove. Soft ground may not have suited last time; on the shortlist off an attractive mark.
13th	13 13th (13) (25/1 -56%) Indian Falcon	25 25/1(-56%)	(13) Indian Falcon 25/1, Gelded/off 8 months before landing 6f minor event at Pontefract on his return, getting up late. That form has been franked but he failed to take another step forward switched to a handicap when fourth at Haydock 3 weeks ago. Kept on for 4th over 6f on h'cap debut; this first crack at 7f could be just what he needs.

LTO Selection:

14:35 York Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

In this competitive contest it may pay dividends to side with ADMIRAL D, who failed to fire in the Victoria Cup on his latest outing. The four-year-old hit the line with plenty of conviction to finish seventh over 6f at Newmarket on his penultimate outing and he can take a step forward on this sounder surface. Darkness has been knocking on the door over this trip and demands the utmost consideration. Eligible can mount a bold big on his hunt for successive wins.

DARKNESS looks ready to strike having been headed only in the latter stages on his last 2 outings, so he receives the vote. Fortamour was unlucky not to finish closer at Ripon last time and remains of interest, with likeable veteran Scottish Summit expected to give another good account.

The well-handicapped Admiral D is a tempting option but SNAZZY JAZZY is also on an attractive mark and is preferred.

14:35 York Handicap (Class 3) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:05 York Listed (Class 1) 14f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1.75/1 +7%) Quickthorn	1.75 1.75/1(+7%)	(4) Quickthorn 1.75/1, Showed himself to be a smart stayer when 14-length winner of Lonsdale Cup here in August. Yet to recapture that form since but he wasn't disgraced when 3 lengths fourth of 6 in Yorkshire Cup at this C&D 29 days ago, hampered. Big shout back down in class. Last year's Lonsdale Cup winner; not at very best this year but key player nevertheless.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.38/1 +15%) Israr	1.38 1.38/1(+15%)	(2) Israr 1.38/1, Progressed in handicaps last season, winning at Newbury and Doncaster, and took form to another level when just denied in Group 3 at Newbury on return. Likely to stay this far and leading contender. Short-headed in Newbury Group 3 on reappearance and has strong claims for top yard.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 +33%) Divine Jewel	12 12/1(+33%)	(7) Divine Jewel 12/1, Useful filly but plenty to find taking on the males here. Others hold stronger claims but she's in excellent hands to continue to improve.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 -11%) Roberto Escobarr	5 5/1(-11%)	(1) Roberto Escobarr 5/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who confirmed he retains ability on back of 13 months off when narrow winner of Group 3 at Sandown last month. However, that was a below-par renewal, and he looks vulnerable under a penalty here. Won this two years ago & Sandown Group 3 latest; no easy task under penalty but respected.
5th	3 5th (3) (25/1 -56%) Outbox	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Outbox 25/1, Smart performer at best but well held both starts this season, albeit faced a stiff task in Group 2 at Newmarket 6 weeks ago. Bit to find with the principals. Beaten a nose in Swedish Group 3 last September but hasn't shone on either start this term.
6th	5 6th (5) (40/1 +0%) Rhythmic Intent	40 40/1(+0%)	(5) Rhythmic Intent 40/1, Useful sort who bagged Mallard Handicap at Doncaster in September 2021. Lightly raced since and built on his reappearance run when fourth in handicap at Ascot (12f) last month. Likely to be outclassed in this company, however. Three-time handicap winner but he has plenty to find in this field.

LTO Selection:

15:05 York Listed (Class 1) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Although QUICKTHORN hasn't been as progressive this season, he boasts leading credentials based on the pick of his form. He landed the Lonsdale Cup Stakes over an extended 2m last August in emphatic style and, if allowed to dictate from the front here, he could prove difficult to peg back. Ching Shih kept on well for third over 1m 4f at Goodwood last month and could outrun a tasty price if building on that effort, while recent Group 3 winner Roberto Escobarr is another to consider.

The two that stand out on form are ISRAR and Quickthorn, with the former predicted to have too much pace for his rival at this trip/track.

The Gosden-trained ISRAR went very close in a Group 3 at Newbury on last month's reappearance and is taken to go one better here.

15:40 York Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 21 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (7.5/1 +0%) Quinault	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(11) Quinault 7.5/1, Sprinter on a roll, completing a 6f 4-timer when accounting for the reopposing Washington Heights and Eminency in a competitive heat at Newmarket 4 weeks ago. Raised another 5 lb but it's likely there's more to come. Made it 4-4 in handicaps in ready fashion at Newmarket; 5lb higher mark may not stop him.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +0%) Washington Heights	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Washington Heights 6/1, Strong-travelling sort who shaped well when runner-up in a pair of 6f handicaps at Newmarket last month, beaten a length by the reopposing Quinault latterly. Should go well again. Possesses strong C&D form & runner-up in Newmarket handicap latest; might not be far away.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 +10%) Mill Stream	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Mill Stream 9/1, Group 3 placed in 3 outings at 2. Well beaten in Group 2 Sandy Lane on 6f Haydock reappearance 3 weeks ago but retains potential with his sights lowered slightly. Tailed off in Group 2 at Haydock on reappearance but 2yo form reads extremely well.
4	8 4th (8) (10/1 +29%) Eminency	10 10/1(+29%)	(8) Eminency 10/1, Sprinter going the right way, finishing third to Quinault and Washington Heights at Newmarket before not being seen to best effect when filling the same position at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Has to enter reckoning for last year's winning yard. Good third the last twice and he has each-way claims once more.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +18%) Rabaah	9 9/1(+18%)	(3) Rabaah 9/1, Looked useful when easily landing a pair of 6f AW novices at the start of the year. Off 11 weeks, possibly just needed the outing when fading late on in 6f Newbury listed event last month. Retains potential. Could settle better off the strong pace in this big field and he retains potential.
6th	9 6th (9) (22/1 -10%) Redemption Time	22 22/1(-10%)	(9) Redemption Time 22/1, Won novice at Bath at 2. Got stuck in the mud on Thirsk reappearance but different proposition back on a firmer surface when third of 18 in strong 5f handicap here last month, nearest at finish. Return to 6f should suit. Kept on for third of 18 over 5f here last time; could have more to offer now back up to 6f.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -14%) Pure Angel	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Pure Angel 16/1, Upwardly mobile filly who displayed race-by-race progress in maiden/novice company last year, readily seeing off 8-rivals at Wolverhampton (5f) in November. Shaped well when second of 9 on 5f Goodwood handicap debut/reappearance 3 weeks ago. Return to 6f will suit. Respected. Denied clear run when second at Goodwood on reappearance and could continue to progress.
8th	20 8th (20) (25/1 -39%) Chasseral	25 25/1(-39%)	(20) Chasseral 25/1, AW novice winner last September. Creditable in-frame efforts in 6f handicaps at Newmarket and Haydock this year but this demands a bit more. Third at Haydock last month and that form has worked out well; could be a contender.
9th	16 9th (16) (11/1 +8%) Spirit Of Applause	11 11/1(+8%)	(16) Spirit Of Applause 11/1, Gambled-on 9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) last month. Backed that up when second of 8 at Nottingham (6f, firm) 10 days ago. Going the right way and one to consider for a stable which has won this race 3 times since 2013. Has a progressive profile and trainer has a good record in this race; possibilities.
10th	12 10th (12) (28/1 +15%) Safari Dream	28 28/1(+15%)	(12) Safari Dream 28/1, Dual 5f winner at 2 and has shown he's trained on when third in handicaps at Goodwood (5f, heavy) and Leicester (6f, good to firm) this spring. Should give his running but will need first-time cheekpieces to give him something extra. Up in grade today but good third at Leicester last time and he's not ruled out each-way.
11th	17 11th (17) (33/1 -32%) Buccabay	33 33/1(-32%)	(17) Buccabay 33/1, Ascot maiden winner last year. Had heavy ground as an excuse when disappointing on his Newmarket handicap debut and quickly back on track when 2 lengths fourth to Tough Enough (Eminency third) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Solid fourth at Windsor recently but improvement needed now up in grade.
12th	6 12th (6) (25/1 -79%) Garner	25 25/1(-79%)	(6) Garner 25/1, Nottingham maiden winner for Charltons in May 2022 and followed up in 6f Lingfield novice on his return for a new stable just over a year later. Hard to argue a mark in the high-80s looks lenient but he has potential as an unexposed sort. 2 wins from 3 runs; thrown in at the deep end on handicap debut but he's a bright prospect.
13th	22 13th (22) (16/1 +11%) Dark Kestrel	16 16/1(+11%)	(22) Dark Kestrel 16/1, Off the mark in 6f Doncaster novice on reappearance and little went right on his Lingfield AW handicap debut since. Sneaks in at the bottom of the weights and worth another chance to show he's capable of better. Had an excuse on handicap debut and this well-bred sort retains potential for his top yard.
14th	13 14th (13) (28/1 +30%) Zouky	28 28/1(+30%)	(13) Zouky 28/1, Won 6f maiden/novice events on turf at the end of last summer. Not seen to best effect when last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) on reappearance and can have a line put through her subsequent run in a Chelmsford listed as she was forced very wide from the outside stall. Something to prove on this year's form but 2-2 last season and too soon to write her off.
15th	18 15th (18) (40/1 +0%) King's Crown	40 40/1(+0%)	(18) King's Crown 40/1, Won 6f Thirsk maiden last May but hasn't troubled the judge since. The return to 6f should suit after never posing a threat over 5f at Beverley last time but others are stronger. Headgear off. Hasn't been showing enough this year to suggest he'll win this ultra-competitive handicap.
16th	7 16th (7) (33/1 -18%) Miss Jungle Cat	33 33/1(-18%)	(7) Miss Jungle Cat 33/1, Won a C&D nursery last July. Ended his 2-y-o season with a pair of good runner-up efforts at Newmarket but she reappears in a very tough race and has a more exposed profile than some. C&D winner but makes reappearance today and needs to be better than ever to score.
17th	2 17th (2) (33/1 -32%) Rousing Encore	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Rousing Encore 33/1, Useful colt who was second in Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury last season. Has found life tough at listed/Group 3 level this season, though, and vulnerable to less-exposed types on this rather belated handicap debut. Group 2 runner-up last September but below par in Group 3/Listed races this season.
18th	4 18th (4) (7.5/1 +17%) Catch The Paddy	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(4) Catch The Paddy 7.5/1, Won a C&D nursery last July. Not up to the task in the Gimcrack here on final 2-y-o start but back on the up when close second of 14 in 7f course handicap on reappearance. Back down in trip now. The drop back to 6f doesn't appear an obvious plus but he has strong course form.
19th	15 19th (15) (25/1 +0%) Secret Guest	25 25/1(+0%)	(15) Secret Guest 25/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 6/1) in May, drawing clear quickly. Creditable third at Nottingham since but the reopposing Spirit of Applause was over 3 lengths ahead in second. Won at Doncaster before fair third at Nottingham; that latest run suggests he's vulnerable.
20th	21 20th (21) (33/1 +18%) Northcliff	33 33/1(+18%)	(21) Northcliff 33/1, Still a maiden after 12 starts but has some fairly useful form. Return to 6f may help after failing to get involved over 5f at Beverley last time but bit of a surprise if a first success arrives in a race as competitive as this. Made it 0-12 when below par latest but best C&D form suggests he's capable of a bold show.
21st	14 21st (14) (25/1 -108%) Quintus Arrius	25 25/1(-108%)	(14) Quintus Arrius 25/1, All starts at 6f. Has improved for the addition of cheekpieces this year, winning Newcastle novice in February and Hamilton handicap in May. The way he travelled at the latter track suggests he can make his presence felt in this higher grade. One of 3 solid contenders for his stable. Progressive in the cheekpieces & has done well in h'caps; could have more left in the tank.

QUINAULT has struck on his last four starts which has put him 26lb higher than at the start of that winning streak. The latest of those victories came at Newmarket, where he had Washington Heights (second) and Eminency (third) behind him and he looks to have lots in his favour to uphold that form. Catch The Paddy is one to note after his runner-up effort over 7f at this track last time and he would be foolish to dismiss.

QUINAULT has been a fast improver in handicaps and might be able to extend his winning spree to 5 but there are lots of possible threats in a typically strong renewal of this heritage handicap. Pure Angel will be suited by the return to 6f and heads the dangers along with Washington Heights, who chased home the selection at Newmarket last time and is one of 3 solid candidates for Kevin Ryan. Spirit of Applause, whose yard knows what it takes to win this, and Dark Kestrel complete the shortlist.

Today's topweight MILL STREAM (nap) earns the vote on account of his performance in the Group 3 Acomb Stakes here last August.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (1.8/1 +28%) Twilight Romance	1.8 1.8/1(+28%)	(6) Twilight Romance 1.8/1, Promising type. 7/1, third of 12 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 23 days ago, clear of rest. That looks to be pretty strong form and he's sure to improve. Shaped quite well when third of 12 at Haydock; open to progress and high on the list.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 -100%) We Never Stop	4.5 4.5/1(-100%)	(7) We Never Stop 4.5/1, Promising individual. Third of 10 in maiden (16/1) at this C&D (firm) on debut 30 days ago, doing pretty well given me met trouble and raced freely. More to come. Led for part of way when third here on debut; should build on that and appeals most of all.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 -33%) Land Lover	8 8/1(-33%)	(3) Land Lover 8/1, Matched debur form when fifth of 12 in Woodcote Stakes at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Clear signs of ability both starts, fifth of 12 at Epsom last time; should be thereabouts.
4	5 4th (5) (125/1 -213%) Socialise	125 125/1(-213%)	(5) Socialise 125/1, Eighth of 9 in novice event (100/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. Modest RPRs in three sprint maidens; others much more enticing.
5th	4 5th (4) (2.25/1 +32%) Silent Move	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(4) Silent Move 2.25/1, Foaled January 28. 64,000 gns foal, 200,000 gns yearling, Ardad colt. Dam unraced granddaughter of 1000 Guineas winner Sleepytime, herself sister to Sussex Stakes winner Ali-Royal. 200,000gns yearling; stable has impressive record in this race; likely type on paper..
6th	1 6th (1) (66/1 +0%) Be Here Now	66 66/1(+0%)	(1) Be Here Now 66/1, Looks a long-term project judged on debut eighth of 12 in maiden at Haydock (6f) 23 days ago. Faded when eighth of 12 at Haydock three weeks ago; needs to find considerable improvement.
7th	2 7th (2) (5/1 +29%) Indicate	5 5/1(+29%)	(2) Indicate 5/1, Foaled March 27. Blue Point colt. Dam UAE 2-y-o 6f winner. Yard's 2-y-os well up to scratch so market will be revealing. From yard that took this last year with subsequent Group 3 winner; interesting newcomer.

LTO Selection:

16:15 York Maiden (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

We Never Stop posted a good third over course and distance on his debut last month, but preference is for TWILIGHT ROMANCE. John Quinn's colt filled the same position at Haydock 23 days ago, in a race which has since seen the second go on to win. Silent Move cost the princely sum of 200,000gns as a yearling and makes plenty of appeal, while Indicate should not be underestimated either.

TWILIGHT ROMANCE split a couple of next-time-out improvers when an excellent third starting out at Haydock 3 weeks ago and, sure to improve, he's up to winning a maiden. We Never Stop also shaped well starting out over C&D and is a big player, while Silent Move and Indicate are newcomers for excellent yards.

With C&D experience under his belt, WE NEVER STOP gets the vote ahead of Twilight Romance, with Land Lover also respected.

16:50 York Handicap (Class 4) 9f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (5.5/1 +8%) Mostawaa	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(10) Mostawaa 5.5/1, Has made a solid start to the campaign and made all at Brighton last time. Didn't have much to spare and will likely face competition for the lead this time. Snapped losing run at Brighton last month; not an obvious one to follow up.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 -11%) Tropez Power	5 5/1(-11%)	(5) Tropez Power 5/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. Not as good on turf as he is on AW but mark reflects that and travelled powerfully when second at Doncaster last time. Big player in a race that should be run to suit. Improver on AW for this yard; better signs on turf when second over 1m latest; player.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +33%) What's The Story	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) What's The Story 3/1, Course winner who has returned to form lately and capitalised on a reduced mark at Carlisle a month ago. Remains well treated on old form, so he's worthy of respect. Back to form last month, second to Pisanello and Hamilton before winning at Carlisle.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +36%) Blenheim Boy	9 9/1(+36%)	(6) Blenheim Boy 9/1, Course winner who failed to beat a rival at Ripon on reappearance but may strip fitter for it, so not completely dismissed. Not gone from Ripon win on 2022 reappearance; bled from nose when tailed off latest.
5th	12 5th (12) (20/1 -25%) Tiger Beetle	20 20/1(-25%)	(12) Tiger Beetle 20/1, Scored at Wolverhampton in December but he's 0-12 on turf and didn't fire at Haydock 3 weeks ago. In good form when placed in the spring but not so good last twice.
6th	11 6th (11) (5.5/1 +8%) Jewel Maker	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(11) Jewel Maker 5.5/1, Dual winner last season and beginning to find his form this term, finishing with running left when fourth at Beverley a week ago. Not discounted. On good mark and strong hint of return to form when unlucky-in-running fourth last twice.
7th	1 7th (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Pisanello	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(1) Pisanello 6.5/1, Strike rate is hardly compelling but he's highly consistent and well ridden to end losing run a shade readily in 13-runner Hamilton handicap in May. Not disgraced (failed to stay) at Ripon since and should be thereabouts back down in trip. Hamilton win in May is solid and stretched by 1m2f at Ripon since; still in form.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 +14%) Siam Fox	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Siam Fox 12/1, 15/2, won 6-runner handicap at Yarmouth last month but wasn't in the same form at Doncaster last time. Others make more appeal. Second win for this yard when making all at Yarmouth but well behind Tropez Power since.
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 +44%) Eldrickjones	14 14/1(+44%)	(9) Eldrickjones 14/1, Sole success to date came in 4-runner Pontefract maiden (6f) in summer 2021. Essentially struggled to make an impact in handicaps last term but mark has eased considerably and latest effort at this course was respectable. Never better than midfield over 7f here three weeks ago, taking record to 1-20.
10th	7 10th (7) (40/1 +0%) Tribal Wisdom	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Tribal Wisdom 40/1, Fairly useful form when runner-up on his first 3 starts last season. Disappointed on final outing and returned from an absence with a poor run on stable debut in handicap at Newbury. Others preferred. Runner-up three times for Charlie Appleby at 3 but always behind on return for new yard.
11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 +18%) Rise Hall	33 33/1(+18%)	(4) Rise Hall 33/1, Useful sort who was off over 2 years prior to a tame return at this course. Plenty to prove. Very useful at best but always behind on last month's return from long absence.

LTO Selection:

16:50 York Handicap (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

WHAT'S THE STORY has posted two solid efforts back on turf since he returned from a short break and, having shown tenacity to win at Carlisle 26 days ago, a 2lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent another bold bid. Pisanello beat the selection by half a length at Hamilton on his penultimate start but is 2lb worse off at the weights, and this slightly longer trip hands an advantage to the selection. Tropez Power is also considered.

TROPEZ POWER is lower in the weights on turf and impressed with how smoothly he went through the race when second at Doncaster last time, so he gets the marginal vote over last-time-out winner What's The Story, who remains with handicapping scope based on past exploits. Pisanello is also worth considering.

Jewel Maker looks ready to win soon but slight preference is for TROPEZ POWER, who travelled well for a long way last time.

17:25 York Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/1 -8%) The Green Man	7 7/1(-8%)	(3) The Green Man 7/1, Bounced back to his best to pick up a second win on turf in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Enters calculations despite a 4 lb rise. Led late on at Doncaster (6f) latest and the form has worked out; should be competitive.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +33%) Good Earth	4 4/1(+33%)	(8) Good Earth 4/1, Has gradually worked his way back to top form this year and readily landed 17-runner apprentices handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. This C&D winner rates a player off the same mark. Escapes penalty for recent Beverley win; successful over C&D before; obvious claims.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +20%) Abate	6 6/1(+20%)	(6) Abate 6/1, C&D winner who arrives on a hat-trick after recent all-the-way wins at Hamilton and Haydock (6f). Can go well once more despite hiked up 6 lb now. Dominated pair of small-field events recently but more on his plate in this stronger race.
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 -10%) Soldier's Minute	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Soldier's Minute 11/1, C&D winner who arrives in decent nick, fourth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. One to consider off an easing mark. Recent efforts respectable but no turf win since 2019; taken on again.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 +10%) Ghathanfar	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Ghathanfar 9/1, Course winner who posted a creditable ninth of 21 in handicap over C&D (firm) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and in the mix. Not at best this year but nicely treated and goes well here (second in this last year).
6th	13 6th (13) (16/1 -60%) As If By Chance	16 16/1(-60%)	(13) As If By Chance 16/1, Ended losing run in 11-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Up 4 lb but ought to be in the shake-up. Back to winning ways at Windsor under Tom Marquand 19 days ago; up 4lb; can start slowly.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 +45%) Rathbone	11 11/1(+45%)	(7) Rathbone 11/1, Yet to get his head in front this season but comes here in good order, third of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Shortlisted. Placed for second time for new yard when third at Doncaster latest; not discounted.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -52%) Roundhay Park	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Roundhay Park 50/1, Scored at Catterick (6f) in April but below par since, only thirteenth of 16 to The Green Man at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. This C&D winner needs to get back on track. Won at Catterick in April but below par twice since; others are more obvious.
9th	11 9th (11) (14/1 -17%) Showtime Mahomes	14 14/1(-17%)	(11) Showtime Mahomes 14/1, C&D winner last May and he's started this season in good order, fourth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Possibilities. Hasn't built on reappearance in two subsequent runs, finishing behind Rathbone latest.
10th	12 10th (12) (25/1 -56%) Muscika	25 25/1(-56%)	(12) Muscika 25/1, Dual AW winner this spring and performing well on turf since, unsuited by drop to 5f when fifth of 8 at Catterick 7 days ago. Can also boast a C&D win so he needs considering in a refitted visor. This more suitable than the 5f he raced over at Catterick last Saturday; course winner.
11th	14 11th (14) (16/1 +11%) Havana By The Sea	16 16/1(+11%)	(14) Havana By The Sea 16/1, Turned in her best effort of the season when fifth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (7f, firm) 10 days ago. Two-time scorer in 2022 so she's one to consider. Quite useful sprint 2yo but has found life tough this year.
12th	1 12th (1) (7.5/1 -67%) Royal Parade	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(1) Royal Parade 7.5/1, Resumed winning ways in emphatic style at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Saddles a 5 lb penalty now but he can't be taken lightly if in the same mood. Back to form for this yard with ready Goodwood win (6f, good to firm) last Sunday; player.
13th	2 13th (2) (20/1 -25%) Many A Star	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Many A Star 20/1, Dual 6f winner in 2022 but he raced too freely after 9 months off when tenth of 14 at Epsom (6f) 14 days ago. It would come as no surprise to see him bounce back in refitted blinkers. Entitled to have needed Epsom return two weeks ago but needs to leave that well behind.
14th	15 14th (15) (40/1 -60%) Rich Waters	40 40/1(-60%)	(15) Rich Waters 40/1, Fairly useful at his best but it's now 12 runs since last win in 2020. Yet to hit top form for his current yard but easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. Hasn't threatened in two 6f outings for new yard; need to see more.
15th	10 15th (10) (11/1 +8%) Great News	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Great News 11/1, Below par when last seen on the track 19 months ago, tongue strap on for 1st time when ninth at Chelmsford City (6f). Handily weighted if fully tuned up though after his long absence. Absent since well held on AW in November 2021; watching brief is the percentage call.

LTO Selection:

17:25 York Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A really competitive renewal which could go the way of ROYAL PARADE, who bounced right back to his best when bolting up at Goodwood last time and, despite carrying a 5lb penalty, he remains well handicapped on his old form. Previous C&D winners Abate, Good Earth and Soldier's Minute all have sound claims under perfect conditions, while Rich Waters and Great News could take a hand if getting back to near their best, especially the former who hasn't been with Grant Tuer long.

Plenty are in with a shout but GOOD EARTH escapes a penalty for his recent Beverley success and can bag a second C&D win. The Green Man is feared most on the back of his Doncaster victory, although several others can have a say too with Muscika, Many A Star and Soldier's Minute completing the shortlist.

It's tough to ignore the claims of GOOD EARTH who did well over C&D last summer and escapes a penalty for last Sunday's Beverley win.

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.
