Horse racing tips: Angus McNae's best bets for York on Sunday

York is the sole meeting on Racing TV on Sunday and my four selections will all be in action on the Knavesmire.

The pick of the quartet looks an Irish raider in the 2.55 who was very impressive when winning at the Curragh last time out.

The return to 6f will suit Pink Crystal, who found things happening too quickly over 5f last time out here at York.

Before that she won in a fast time at Brighton, suggesting a mark of 87 underestimates her ability.

Her trainer, William Haggas, has an excellent record here and he has a 21% strike rate with his sprinters. With plenty of boxes ticked, Pink Crystal makes plenty of appeal here.

I rate this Irish raider as the best bet on the card. He travelled very strongly before surging away to win a Curragh handicap off a mark of 103.

He was a facile winner and I rate him as already being a performer in the region of a mark of 110.

It was a career-best from this gelding and it is interesting that he runs here as afterwards connections suggested a campaign in Dubai was on the cards. This is strong race but this Prisoners Dilemma has abundant potential and rates as a strong selection.

This filly is on a steep upward curve and can follow up her fast-time win at Chelmsford over 5f last time.

The return to 6f will be no problem given that she won over this trip at Ayr two starts ago. Indeed, it’s arguable that she is better at this trip than at the minimum.

She has only gone up 3lb for that recent success and there is no reason why her improvement in handicaps has stalled yet. This is a step up in grade but she can take it in her stride and complete a hat-trick of wins.

This horse is a relatively unexposed stayer from the Richard Fahey yard.

At his third over 2m at Thirsk he did very well to win and there was promise of plenty more to come. In a change of tactics, he was held up in a slowly run race and did well to win.

The Course Track sectionals showed that the finishing speed percentage was 111.29%, telling us all we need to know about the steady pace.

The Predictor quickened up well in the 14th furlong, sprinting through it in 11.19sec, to get into contention and then he kept on well to win narrowly. I expect a better gallop here and big improvement from The Predictor.
