Class 5 · 6f · Good To Firm
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Possessive (11/8)
What we said: top-rated (PR90), proven form at 6f on good-to-firm, K R Burke hot trainer combo, and Racing Post selection; draw 11 favours the far-rail bias in this 12-runner sprint
Class 5 · 6f · Good To Firm
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Arapaho Gold (4/11)
What we said: course winner over C&D beaten little, physically imposing, Racing Post selection, favoured draw (10), and gelding returning to winning track on ideal going
Class 4 · 7f218y · Good To Firm
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Lord d'Or (8/11)
What we said: tops the ratings (PR 96), ran 2nd at York over today's trip on good ground, draw 1 is ideal on this left-handed track, and Andrew Balding's course record of 24% is strong despite cold recent form
Class 6 · 6f · Good To Firm
Class 5 · 6f · Good To Firm
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Concert (7/1)
What we said: Top-rated in the field (PR/SR 81), Tom Marquand booking carries trainer-intent weight, dual sire going flags (Showcasing + Dark Angel) directly suit today's Good to Firm, and her close third last time off a 1lb higher mark puts her right in the zone here
Class 4 · 1m4f8y · Good To Firm
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: York Tower (11/8)
What we said: step up to 1m4f suits his staying profile, tops the figures, Haggas in strong form, and Marquand is a hot combo
Class 3 · 6f · Good To Firm
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Novello Lad (9/2)
What we said: back-to-back wins, proven fast-ground sire, mid-draw (6) avoids the low-draw disadvantage, and K Ryan-style targeting from Midgley yard fits the pattern of arriving ready
Class 5 · 7f · Good To Firm
