Welcome It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to York for what looks set to be a super evening of racing plus music, in something nearer “normal” weather! Our only evening meeting means Music Showcase, an event that combines great racing with headline music acts. As we look forward to the performance of Madness after the last race, hold on to your fezs, it should be fun.

This is also the seventh scheduled day of The Go Racing in Yorkshire Summer Festival, now in its fourteenth year and firmly established thanks to the generous and loyal backing of our weeklong sponsors, Sky Bet and Goldsborough Hall.

In Yorkshire we have nine superb racecourses, over 120 training yards, the National Racing College, Jack Berry House and Goffs Bloodstock Sales, all making for a successful racing industry in the county. This year we have also focussed on the origin of the thoroughbred breed itself with two of the original three foundation stallions having been based in Yorkshire in the 1700’s – every one of tonight’s runners are related to one of these three! For further information, go to the Go Racing in Yorkshire digital channels for a fascinating video on the origins of the thoroughbred.

The most generous support of tonight’s sponsors has also helped stage a record prize money race programme approaching £150,000 with a Listed contest, the British Stallion Studs EBF Lyric as the valuable feature. The “talking filly” of the contest is the unbeaten, Judith, sent up from Newmarket by John and Thady Gosden. Yorkshire opposition will come from the Group 3 winner Poptronic. The latter’s handler Karl Burke is having a tremendous season and sits comfortably atop the leading trainer table with eight wins here this season already.

If you are a first-time visitor tonight, please do explore the racecourse - use the maps on p6-7 & p8-9 to guide you, or just ask any of the team in the teal blazers who will be happy to help. My tip is to stand close to the rail as the horses race past, you can feel as well as hear the thunder of hooves.

After racing the band who helped open the London Olympics return to the Knavesmire on the stage to the south of the stands. A special request from our plumbers, please use all the facilities around the course during the evening, rather than all choosing to spend a penny just before concert time! Also, please respect our neighbours and city as you make your way home this evening.

Thank you for your support today and during the wider Go Racing in Yorkshire Summer Festival. We hope to welcome you back again tomorrow for racing followed

by Sugababes on the stage. After that, our preparations will go up a gear as we are very much looking forward to staging our flagship meeting, the Sky Bet Ebor Festival (17-20 August) where some of the best horses from around the world look set to compete over four days of top-class racing, fashion and fun.

Finally, a very happy 17th birthday Rosie Black. Our youngest ever racegoer – she was racing on this day 17 years ago today directly from the hopsital!

For now, I hope you thoroughly enjoy your night.

Please take your belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and quietly. If we are unable to re-occupy the stands, you may be invited to return to your car or coach. Departure from car and coach parks will be under the direction of the Police. The foregoing is a precautionary tale.

A RACECOURSE FOR ALL

We want the racecourse to offer both a welcome and an enjoyable day to all our racegoers and in delivering that we recognise that some may need additional assistance from us.

The first thing to say, please just ask for help, if the team don’t have an instant answer, then they know someone who will. The team in the Racecourse Reception (behind the Ebor Stand) act as the link to the rest of the team, as needed.

FAQS Is there disabled and blue badge parking?

Yes, I hope you found it. All our car parks have designated spaces near their front row.

Can I get help with getting to/from the car park, taxi rank or shuttle buses?

Yes, there is a complimentary buggy service to all these points, ask at racecourse reception or next time you arrive just call 01904 620911. Thank you for your patience as the buggies can only transfer 4 people at a time and it’s a big site.

Can I bring a wheelchair?

Yes, if you need to; but we also offer complimentary hire, again from Racecourse Reception (see told you they were the hub). As we hope you’ll appreciate, there are only so many wheelchairs on site, if you need to reserve in advance then call 01904 620911.

Can I bring somebody to help?

Yes, we appreciate that will come in various forms, we hope our “carer comes free” scheme is a help, before your next visit check it out online at www.yorkracecourse.co.uk or just ask the team today.

Are there wheelchair viewing platforms?

Yes, in all stand side area and Stands, as well as a dedicated viewing platform by the stage. - easiest thing to do is to ask our Stewards, though a map is available from, you guessed it, Racecourse Reception. Please use these in the spirit intended, with carers being prepared to step aside to allow space for those who need the view the most.

What about toilets and are they part of the Radar scheme?

Yes they are, all the permanent toilet blocks have a disabled capability, please ask for directions or check that map from you know where.

Are their wheelchair height food and drink counters?

Yes there are but not as many as we’d like, please ask a member of the team to assist you.

Wheelchair height betting?

Yes, there are some Tote counters set at a reduced height though a better plan might be to use the courier service that operates in areas such as the main Champagne Lawns; the Tote team themselves are always willing to help.

There was one more thing?

Please ask, we value your feedback so we can keep improving in this area.

Examples of viewing platforms both around the Parade Ring and trackside 12

HOW MIGHT YOU SOLVE A BIG SPRINT HANDICAP? TOMAHAWK STEAKHOUSES HANDICAP

This evening’s Tomahawk Steakhouses handicap looks a tricky betting proposition for novice racegoers with fifteen closely matched runners set to go to post. Is it best to plump for a lucky number, an interesting name or a set of jockey silks you like the look of? Whilst all of these strategies may throw up the odd winner, a safer and more prudent approach would be to apply some straightforward methodology.

Narrowing down the field of fifteen declared runners is easier than you think if you follow a few simple guidelines, to hopefully identify the winner of this and the other handicaps. Before we start, it is important to understand what a handicap is.

Once a horse has raced three times they are given an official rating (often referred to as a handicap mark) by the British Horseracing Authority. This provides a numerical guide to each horse’s level of ability. Ratings usually start at around 40 for a modest performer with the mighty Frankel finishing his career in the 140s. The ranking operates the opposite way around from a golf handicap, so each time a horse runs this rating is adjusted either upwards for a good performance or down for a weaker effort, so that it reflects the horses most recent form.

Each of these rating points are meant to reflect 1lb in weight, so looking at today’s race, Bossipop is rated 70 is considered 1lb “better” than Dream Together who is rated 69. If these horses were to race carrying the same weight theoretically Bossipop should win every time as he is the better horse. Races which were too predictable wouldn’t make good viewing and therefore the handicap is designed to set a level playing field. So in this example Bossipop carries 1lb more than Dream Together, which should in theory see them cross the line together and that rule applies to all of the fifteen runners – but, despite dead heats being a possibility, you won’t ever see all twenty two runners cross the line together so how to separate them in advance?

Horses which won or ran well last time will attract the interest of the handicapper and a rise of 6 or 7lb can often follow. Sometimes this can prove a step too far as horses then struggle to concede weight to lower rated rivals. Eventually as the horse continues to run without winning their rating will come back down to a winnable mark and the whole cycle begins again. The art is working out which category your horse falls into.

Don’t forget to ensure you keep an eye and an ear out for non-runners, there will be announcements over the PA system and the screens around the course will be updated with non-runner information, as they have to be in it to win it!

1) FORM Here at York it often pays to side with horses in form but it is also important that they look like they still have a bit of improvement left. There are a few who come here without having the best of recent records and so might be best ignored today; Surprise Picture, International Girl & Captain Vallo.

2) THE DRAW Where a horse is drawn in the stalls can be an important factor, particularly in a sprint and is perhaps one of the most debated topics in racing. Some punters swear that being drawn close to a rail is an advantage as it keeps a horse focused on running straight. However here at York, in recent seasons those drawn down the centre of the track have often held the upper hand, the counter logic being that their jockey can keep an eye on the competition on both flanks. Perhaps Good Earth can use this to his advantage.

3) DISTANCE Having a runner who has already shown their liking for a particular trip can be invaluable. Admirality, As If By Chance and Rhythm have all won over today’s disrance 4) GROUND If you thought the debates over draw were intense then try talking about the impact of ground to a racing anorak. In simple terms, different horses run better on different types of surface, just like some human athletes might prefer cross country to the track. Muscika is one who will enjoy a quicker surface. However Admirality wins have come on a surface that is a little softer. So make sure to check the weather and the ground description.

5) YORK RECORD “Horses for courses” is not a popular phrase by accident, just like football teams have a lucky ground. This year we have plenty of horses that have won at the course and distance, Muscika, Good Earth and Our Little Pony all have excellent form over the knavesmire.

6) CONCLUSION Following these simple rules has helped to narrow down the shortlist. Going on a hunch that ‘good to firm’ will be the description, the Tim Easterby-trained Bossipop might well continue his consistent form and could take all the beating.

He should excel over the trip here at York and will get his favourite surface. He’s dropped to a very workable mark and lot of his best runs have come at six furlongs.

FAY WAUDBY-GREEN • What is your current role at York Racecourse?

General Manager of Stableside

• How many years have you worked

at York Racecourse?

15 years, starting as summer help in the Bookings Team

• Give us a hidden Gem of the Knavesmire

The Gimcrack Restaurant offers a really fantastic 3 course meal or later in the day afternoon tea in a beautiful traditional setting that screams “proper” York Racecourse to me whilst not ignoring my Yorkshire roots I think it offers “proper” good value as well!

• Which York Raceday would you attend if you were not working?

Juddmonte International Day (17th August this year) which you can’t beat for the absolutely high-class racing, nothing gives me a bigger thrill then seeing some of my favourite horses throughout the year battling it out in the Group One feature, which regularly appears in the top 10 races in the world.

Mecca’s Angel

• What has been your favourite winning performance at York?

This is really difficult; I think Mecca’s Angel winning her first Coolmore Nunthorpe, so giving Paul Mulrennan his first taste of Group 1 glory really sticks in my memory. She reeled in Wesley Ward’s American Raider, Acapulco, and was a real star that day.

• Who is your favourite racehorse, past or present?

Absolutely this has to be Sea the Stars, I used to have a picture of him in my bedroom! For me he was the complete racehorse.

• As a member of the LGBT+ community, how do you find working in racing?

Here at York, it simply isn’t a consideration, we all just work together as a team. My wife, Sophie, helps us out and is a familiar face at our office parties.

• If you could share a table in the Voltigeur with 5 people from racing over the years who would they be?

These questions are getting harder! I’m going to go for a “girl power” table here, Katie Walsh, Clare Balding, Henrietta Knight, Denise Coates and York Racecourse’s very own Jane Richardson, what she’s forgotten about York Racecourse is more than I’ll ever know, so we need to make the most of her before her retirement!

• What is the funniest, printable thing that you have seen/heard on the racecourse?

When Marcus caught Brian the Snail, who had managed to get loose in the Stable Yard. Brian didn’t live up to his name, he was extremely fast!

WHERE CAN I PLACE A B T

There are various points and different ways to bet here at York.

1. Place a bet with the tote. 2. You can go to the betting ring. 3. Use a William Hill Retail SP Betting Shop.

With over 300 tote betting points located around the course, there is always one nearby.

The main betting ring is situated in front of the Knavesmire Stand with an additional ring in Course Enclosure and sometimes a third set of bookies on Bustardthorpe Lawn.There are three William Hill Retail SP betting shops at York; one at the southern end of the stands, the second on the ground floor of the Knavesmire Stand and the third being the refurbished shop on the ground floor of the Melrose Stand. In addition, racegoers in the Clocktower Enclosure will find a William Hill Retail SP facility underneath the clock tower.

PLACING YOUR BET WITH A BOOKMAKER Shop around for the best odds against your selection. When you have decided on where to place your bet, state the number of your chosen horse and the stake, for example “number 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to his/ her clerk and hand your stake to the bookmaker. You will then be given an itemised receipt that gives details of the bet and shows potential winnings. You should keep this ticket safe.

COLLECTING YOUR WINNINGS If your selection wins (or, in the case of a place bet, is placed), hand the ticket back to the bookmaker for settlement. NEVER destroy your ticket until after the “Weighed In” announcement has been made. There may still be a stewards enquiry and the first past the post, or placed horses, may be disqualified. On rare occasions even the horse coming fourth has been awarded the race. You may bet with confidence with any bookmaker as they have all been approved by the Administration Of Gambling On Tracks Limited, which administers the betting rings at each of Britain’s 59 racecourses. The AGT also offers a full late pay service, in case a bookmaker leaves the course before you have collected your winnings.

Late Pay Claims should be sent to Administration Of Gambling On Tracks Limited, 3a, Kings Hall, Parsons Green, St Ives, Cambs, PE27 4WY.

Official BHA Ratings The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part usually in three races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

Racing Post Standard Times is an independent assessment based on how long it should take a 90-rated horse to win on Good To Firm ground at York. Race tactics, rail movements, and wind direction are amongst the many factors to also affect the time for each specific race.

Non-runner Ground - The Trainer states the ground is not suitable for this horse, the official going has changed since the time of declaration.

Vet - The Trainer states the horse is subject to a Veterinary Certificate.

Self Certificate - The trainer has advised the authorities that the horse is not able to race today.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

About Seven Furlongs (1,400 metres)

See page 75 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION A competitive handicap for 3yo+ horses, run over seven furlongs.

Designed for close competition, the handicapper is the independent assessor who rates horses on past performance seeking to get them crossing the line together, by handing out differing weights.

The best on past performance, will be the highest rated and so will carry more weight, Hathlool has that honour here.

Need some help, listen to expert panel at 4.40pm.

KNAVESMIRE TIP A number of these look to hold claims, but HATHLOOL ran out an impressive winner over 1m at Leicester recently and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Liamarty Dreams won well under an aggressive ride from Pierre-Louis Jamin at Chester last time and he must enter calculations lining up off a 5lb higher mark, while Brazen Bolt, Testing Faith and Danzan are others to watch out for.

See page 75 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION Still, a handicap, so seeking equal competition amongst horses aged three and above. While the last race was for good horses rated up to 80, this race is for those a rated up to 95. Those closer to the top will carry more weight; Blue For You is carrying the heaviest burden today.

So, pit your wits against the handicapper – if you need some help look for C (has won at York) or D (has won over this distance) against the horse’s name, look how La Trinidad is one that carries both.

KNAVESMIRE TIP In this competitive contest it may pay dividends to opt for the lightly-raced six-year-old GHALY, who ran a mighty race to finish second at Hamilton after a lengthy absence. The son of Dubawi may be able to take a step forward and a mark of 93 could underestimate his ability. If he fails to fire then Blue For You can pick up the pieces after his half-length second over this C&D off 3lb lower earlier in the month. La Trinidad is another to consider closely.

Six Furlongs (1,200 metres)

6f Handicap 61-80 £15,000 4+ Centre

See page 75 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION Another competitive handicap, this time for 4yo+ horses, over six furlongs.

“Offer a chance for everyone” is a good maxim for those planning races and in this contest the upper rating of 80 means that these are still quality horses but they won’t have their spotlight stolen by a real superstar.

KNAVESMIRE TIP LATE ARRIVAL backed up an impressive display on his penultimate outing at Pontefract under a 5lb penalty at Chester and the five-year-old boasts strong credentials in his attempt to complete a hat-trick of victories. Good Earth has been in excellent form and comes into this following a career-best effort here last month. He must enter calculations along with Our Little Pony, a winner here last month, and Haydock scorer Muscika.

Distance: Race Type: Prize Money: Age: Stalls:

7f Novice £15,000 2 Farside

About Seven Furlongs (1,400 metres) See page 75 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION

Race four is limited to limited to 2year old horses, so in their first season racing.

When they were bought, at a recognised auction, the market was deemed as an assessment of their quality and so potential, the most expensive being categorised as Band A, the next group as Band B and so on. If you must know, the Band As went for above £50,000 descending in roughly £20,000 bands thereafter.

Any horse in higher Band racing in opposition to one from a lower Band must start by carrying two pounds in extra weight (see Cobalt Blue compared to Cynical); if a horse from a yet lower Band is in the same race, then the Band B horse carries two pounds more than the Band C contestant, meaning any Band A horse would be carrying four pounds (2+2) more than their Band C rival (so throw Craven into the mix, as a Band C example). It would be yet more complicated if any of them had won previously and so carried a penalty weight, thankfully we are spared that maths this evening.

If this all sounds a bit complicated, then a pin is a proven method in these races.

KNAVESMIRE TIP CRAVEN has filled second place on both of his previous starts, including on debut at this track in June, and Richard Fahey’s colt has every chance of going one better this evening. The well-related Sudden Ambush is a newcomer who merits plenty of respect, while similar comments apply to Cobalt Blue. Impulsive Reaction has to be on the shortlist following his Musselburgh win last month but a penalty will make his life tougher.

AUGUST CALENDAR

With the first stage of entries received for the feature races at the

17 Wednesday Things to do:

Win on of the best races in the world

Global superstar Mishriff joined the illustrious roll of honour by winning the 2021 Juddmonte International. This year looks to be another absolute cracker with a plethora of Group 1 winners from across the generations featuring in the early entries. It is a 50/50 split, of Classic generation runners, pitted up against their older, more experienced counterparts. Defending champion Mishriff looks set to return. In his way stands emphatic Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes and Epsom Derby winner Desert Crown. The Sir Michael Stoute trained three-year-old winner ran riot in the Derby and the form has since been franked when Westover decimated his rivals in the Irish version.

Baaeed has already been spoken about as the best miler since Frankel and is currently rated the best horse in the world, it could be one of the greatest renewals we’ve ever had. While there are unanswered questions about his stamina, there are none about his class, which could well see him handle the extra two furlongs. Aidan O’Brien is not without his usual strong contingent and Luxembourg might well be the forgotten one. The once Derby favourite has been out with an injury but if anyone can get him back it’s the master of Ballydoyle. Joining him could be the likes of Stone Age, Point Lonsdale and Epsom Oaks winner Tuesday. John and Thady Gosden are well represented in the entries by the Group One winning pair Nashawa and Inspiral. Finally, how can we forget the Godolphin runners, in the entries is the 2021 Epsom Derby and King George winner Adayar, although not seen this season count him out at your peril. Joining him could be the St. James Palace winner Coroebus.

Things may become clearer as both the King George and Goodwood inform the picture but whatever happens, it will not disappoint!

Become the fifteenth colt to win Sky Bet Great Voltigeur and Cazoo St Leger

Fourteen colts have done the double and this year’s list of entries provides plenty of hope that 2022 could see number fifteen. Charlie Appleby was responsible for the 2021 winner Yibir who ineligable to take his place at Doncaster being a gelding but he may be tempted this year should one of his colts win the prize. Walk Of Stars and Nahanni both ran in this year’s Epsom Derby but failed to put their best foot forward. The flatter track should suit them more and should they return to form they will be lively players.

Aidan O’Brien’s record speaks for itself and he should once again be well represented. He has no fewer than 10 entries and right at the top of the list is Changingofthegaurd. Fresh from his Ascot win, he looks tailor made for a race like this however does carry a 3lb penalty for that success. Joining him could be the likes of Star Of India, Blue Grass and Aikhal. Francesco Clemente may have slipped under most people’s radars after two low key victories. John and Thady Gosden may well have been keeping this unexposed son of Dubawi for a race like this and he very much falls into the could be anything category.

18 Thursday Things to do:

Second time lucky?

Last year’s second Albaflora is set to return to try and go one better and win the Darley Yorkshire Oaks for Ralph Beckett. In her way are some very talented three-year-old’s, that include the Clarehaven filly Emily Upjohn who has already tasted success once over the Knavesmire in the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes. Alpinista was mightily impressive over in France last weekend, it looks as though she may be aimed at a tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, so a summer break could loom. The William Haggas trained Lilac Road hasn’t been seen since her brilliant victory in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies’ Stakes. She sprang a bit of a surprise for the Haggas team but more than deserves her place in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks, should she decide to line up. Tuesday would look to be the best chance for Ballydoyle and she could well go in search of a hattrick of wins in the race for Aidan O’Brien.

Sky Bet Ebor Festival, we mark your calendar.

19 Friday Things to do:

All about the girls

We will see plenty of the world’s fastest horses on the planet here come August for the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe. Among those entered are Miss Yorkshire herself Winter Power. The King Power filly has already tasted success in this race and despite a slightly more subdued campaign, surely she will have been aimed at this race. Highfield Princess ran a screamer last time out at Ascot, that very much confirmed her win in the 1895 Duke Of York Clipper Logistics. Trained by John Quinn, she is a filly going places and could easily be up to winning this, though others would urge a tilt at the £400,000 Group 2 Sky Bet City of York over two furlongs further come Saturday. Dramatised could become the first two-year-old since Kingsgate Native in 2007 to win the race. She couldn’t have done much more this season after bolting up at Ascot in the Queen Mary.

Follow in the hooves of greats like Mill Reef or Rock of Gibraltar

The Ridler was somewhat of a shock in the Norfolk Stakes and his owners looked just as bemused as the rest of the racing public! Trained

by Yorkshire’s own Richard Fahey, he could well turn up in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack. The Antarctic was narrowly beaten in a thrilling race behind Wadao, after a disappointing effort behind The Ridler. She could well be joined by stablemate Blackbeard, who can be a bit of a tricky customer for the stalls handlers before the race! Noble Style was forced to miss his engagement in the Coventry Stakes at Ascot but could return in this year’s renewal. The last horse to mention is the Coventry winner himself, Bradsell. Bought by Victorious Racing after his win at the Knavesmire, he then went onto pummel his rivals under a triumphant Hollie Doyle.

20 Saturday Things to do:

Earn a place in the Folklore of the Knavesmire

That is the honour that awaits the victor of one of the toughest flat handicaps in the world and one of the richest in Europe, the £500,000 Sky Bet Ebor.

The beauty of a handicap is that you can make a case for all twenty-two who finally make the stalls, never mind the full entry list. So, which to mention; Sky Bet Race to the Ebor trial winners seem a great place to start. Valley Forge took home the Sky Bet Melrose last year, defeating all 21 rivals to place himself in the frame for the big one this year. Gaassee threw his hat into the ring for the Haggas team after an excellent staying performance.

Earl Of Tyrone will be hoping he can follow in the footsteps of last year’s Irish raider Sonnyboyliston.

Hopefully the above sets the scene for a twenty eight race festival where £80,000 is the lowest prize fund and the richest maiden race in the land, the British Stallion Studs EBF Convivial Maiden Stakes, or the richest nursery handicap in the Sky Bet Stakes, add to the cocktail of high fashion and high class sport.

The British Stallion Studs EBF Lyric Fillies’ Stakes (Listed Race)

One Mile About Two Furlongs (2,000 metres) See page 75 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION Our fifth race is a part of the Pattern pyramid which denotes the best contests, Listed (like this one), Group 3, Group 2 and Group 1.

In a further drive for competition, this race is only open to 3yo+ fillies and mares. It is over a mile and a quarter.

All are registered with the European Breeders’ Fund. This means that their sire (father) is based and registered in Europe with the EBF, which is a scheme to encourage the best in bloodstock.

As racing recognises that younger horses, aged 3, are likely to be at a different stage of development, notice how Poptronic is one to benefit by starting with a lower weight than Achelois as her elder.

Looking for help? Then follow the racecourse tipster, who has marked his selections with a red bi plane.

KNAVESMIRE TIP A fascinating race where Poptronic seems likely to prove popular after her success in Group 3 company last time, but a chance is taken on PEARL BEACH. She was less than three lengths behind Poptronic that day and is 8lb better off at the weights here. Admittedly, all her wins have been over further, but a fast run race may see her finishing best of all over this trip. Judith remains unbeaten for the stable who have won this race numerous times and it will be interesting to see how she copes with the step up in class.

KNAVESMIRE TIP A chance is taken on dual course winner LUCANDER, who, following a below par effort at Windsor last month (unsuited by the early slow pace), can return to winning ways on the Knavesmire. The Flying Ginger picked up some valuable black-type at Pontefract on her latest outing and, with the possibility of an easy lead on offer, she must be feared. Marching Army bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back successes at Kempton last year, while Spirit Dancer, who was a good fourth in the John Smith’s Cup earlier this month, is another to consider.

See page 75 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION The last is a conventional handicap, the shorter distance of only five and a half furlongs usually makes for a tight finish.

If an apprentice jockey partners a horse, they can claim a reduction in weight to balance their relative lack of experience, see how Prodigious Blue benefits by Faye McManoman claiming 3lb.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Texas Man had Beauzon back in third (Maybe Even Never last of seven after getting upset in the preliminaries) when successful at Redcar last time and is likely to give another good account, but the relatively unexposed MOTASHAWEQ is preferred. Iain Jardine appears to have found the key to him since taking over from Marcus Tregoning, with 5f at Hamilton proving right up his street.

Mereside Angel and Iur Cinn Tra are others to note in a competitive contest.
