Lots with chances but SPORTS COACH has slipped to a good mark and hinted at a revival when eighth in a big-field York handicap last time so gets the vote. Recent Newmarket scorer Ancient State heads the list of dangers turned out under a 5 lb penalty, although Miss Rainbow, Irish Nectar and Call To Action all need factoring in too.

Ancient State Adam Kirby’s four-year-old is only 4lb higher than when bolting up on his latest start, and the penalty shouldn’t be what stops him from following up.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A strongly contested lead could count against Miss Rainbow, who is expected to try and race close up: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Fierce who is likely to make a challenge late.
Individual Price Hint: Irish Nectar traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts.
