14.15 Sky Bet Race To The Ebor Jorvik Handicap
CHILLINGHAM has posted some huge efforts in defeat in good-quality handicaps since winning his first couple of handicap starts and doesn’t look handicapped to the hilt off 96. He is a very interesting runner in first-time cheekpieces, while the well-handicapped ONEFORTHEGUTTER, top-weight KLONDIKE, and TRACK OF TIME are others to consider.
Tips: Chillingham, Oneforthegutter, Klondike, Track Of Time
14.45 Churchill Tyres Handicap
GREAT AMBASSADOR won his only previous start over C&D and is 4Ib lower than when runner-up in an Ayr Gold Cup. MAKANAH, LETHAL LEVI, and DAKOTA GOLD all boast very good course form and are more than capable off their current marks. LETHAL NYMPH is another well-handicapped runner and merits consideration for potential win purposes.
Tips: Great Ambassador, Makanah, Lethal Levi, Lethal Nymph, Dakota Gold
15.15 1895 Duke Of York Clipper Stakes (Group 2)
It could prove significant that Clifford Lee has opted for SWINGALONG. She’s unbeaten in two starts over C&D and ran well to make the frame in three top-class Group 1 races. She deserves the utmost respect ahead of her seasonal reappearance, while stablemate SPYCATCHER, who also made the frame in Group 1 races last season, has to be considered a major player.
Tips: Swingalong, Spycatcher
15.45 Tattersalls Musidora Stakes (Fillies’ Group 3)
FRIENDLY SOUL extended her unbeaten record with an all-the-way victory in the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket on her seasonal reappearance and should be hard to beat. Her main danger could turn out to be CLASSICAL SONG, who was only beaten four lengths when fourth in the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket and is down in grade for her return.
Tips: Friendly Soul, Classical Song
16.15 Conundrum HR Consulting Handicap
ZIGGY’S CONDOR won by three lengths on his debut at Pontefract before placing in back-to-back races over C&D. The combination of a handy mark of 83 on handicap debut and a longer trip could prompt a massive performance from Richard Fahey’s charge. RESPECTFUL and the unbeaten ELMONJED have good chances, so they deserve their place on the shortlist.
Tips: Ziggy’s Condor, Elmonjed, Respectful
16.45 British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes
KING OF LIGHT kept on very well to take third at Windsor on his debut and could find the requisite improvement to open his account in this race. Newcomer BENTLEY AIR represents a stable that has made a bright start to the season and could be ready to get involved, especially if the market speaks in his favour.
Tips: King Of Light, Bentley Air
