Sky Bet Race To The Ebor Jorvik Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Racecard

Danny Archer

Klassleader

This four-year-old caught the eye when second over 1m6f at Haydock on his final start last season, and makes appeal dropping back down to 1m4f. Head over to Racing TV's TikTok page to find the rest of my horses to follow for this week's Dante Festival at York!

Churchill Tyres Handicap

Racecard

RaceiQ Nap Of The Day

Binhareer (IRE)

Signed off last season with an emphatic victory over course and distance and can pick up where he left off. He was only 16th after a furlong that day, but then reeled off five successive fast furlongs to breeze clear. The front-runners drawn in stalls 2, 3, 4 and 7 can tee things up for him.

Finished: 2nd

SP: 11/4

Dave Nevison

Russet Gold

Highly tried by Roger Varian, who clearly held him in high regard, he has moved to in-form Kevin Ryan, and has had a wind-op. Encouraging signs on his yard debut last month.

Finished: 5th

Go Local Stores Minster Stakes (Group 2)

Racecard

Andy Stephens

Cool Hoof Luke

Cool Hoof Luke had three subsequent Group One winners behind when winning the Gimcrack in 2024, including Big Mojo, and his latest win at Wolverhampton shows he retains plenty of dash.

Finished: 13th

SP: 15/2

Time For Sandals (IRE)

Finished: 8th

SP: 4/1

York

Tattersalls Musidora Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)

Racecard

Alex Scott

Felicitas

The early 3-1 makes appeal against a group of fillies with questions to answer. Two from two, she impressed on her turf debut under a penalty and significant improvement is likely over slightly further on a galloping track.

Finished: 2nd

SP: 5/2

Andy Stephens

Legacy Link

Kept on when fourth in the Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket, having previously won in good style at Haydock. The step up in trip seems sure to suit.

Finished: 1st

SP: 6/4

York

Conundrum Hr Consulting Handicap

Racecard

Harry Allwood

First Legion (IRE)

Caught the eye at this track last year and is bred to be suited by the step up to seven furlongs. He also remains on an attractive rating, based on his best form last year. E/w chance.

Finished: 5th

SP: 4/1

The Resdev Scholar (IRE)

Finished: 3rd

SP: 13/2

Stuey Weston & Friends Getting Out Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Racecard

Dave Nevison

Master Builder

The yard is in very good form and this could be the best time to catch Master Builder as he ran a very good race on his reappearance last season in a much higher grade Epsom handicap. Has run well here before.

Finished: 1st

York

Lindum York Handicap

Racecard

RaceiQ Nap Of The Day

Air Force One (IRE)

Has shone at York in the past, and the data tells us he is favourably drawn in stall 6. Moreover, he’s only 2lb higher than when producing a final furlong flourish to get up at Beverley last time. The Time Index for that race was 8.9, when the meeting average was 7.5.

6/1

Dave Nevison

Corolla Point (IRE)

Former expensive Charlie Appleby-trained runner reappeared recently at Beverley where he ran another cracking race to be beaten just over half a length. That form is working out.

9/2

Ross Millar

Hammer The Hammer (IRE)

Three subsequent efforts over 6f have slowed his progress but he drops in trip here with the potential benefit of recent wind surgery; I still believe he's a group horse in a handicap.

10/1

14:55

York

Oakmere Homes Hambleton Handicap

Racecard

Dave Nevison

Sea Force (IRE)

Up just 1lb for a most unfortunate effort last time and he would have been raised more if he had got the breaks. Extreme pace forecast for this race and a good low draw look positives.

7/2

15:30

York

Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies' Stakes (Fillies' & Mares' Group 2)

10/3

Was a 12-length winner of the Middleton Stakes last year and should be spot on for her defence after a comeback win at Nottingham.

6/5

16:05

York

Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes (Group 2)

Racecard

Johnny Ward

Action (IRE)

I doubt he's here to make the speed for Christmas Day: I suspect he's here because Aidan O'Brien is giving him another chance after his poor Sandown run. He is a huge price at 7s on his juvenile form.

13/2

Christmas Day (IRE)

2/1

Ross Millar

Morshdi

I think his win in the listed Feilden Stakes in April is a performance worthy of an upgrade given it came at a time when many from his yard were looking in need of a run. With further progression I make him the pick with his yard in excellent form.

4/1

Nic Doggett

Wise Prince (IRE)

His latest effort appeared to be as much about experience and teaching him how to settle, and it will be no surprise to see him take a big step forward here, and improve past Al Zanati with that run under his belt.

12/1

16:40

York

British Stallion Studs EBF Westow Stakes (Listed)

11/4

Speedball should be suited by the return to this track and will take some catching. Can land this before going onto bigger things this season.

Boodles Yorkshire Cup Stakes (Group 2)

13/8

Is fancied to give Andrew Balding a second win in the race. He has shown that he can quicken off a slow gallop, and this doesn’t look likely to be run at a break-neck speed.
