YORK – THURSDAY
2:25
Raakeb (Sean Levey)
He’s a very tough, professional colt who has always shown high-class form and ran well in the Super Sprint last time.
We’ve freshened him up at home; he looks great in his coat and is moving really nicely. I think six furlongs is probably his optimum trip and he has a great chance in what is a very valuable prize.
Saffron Dandy (Clifford Lee)
She was impressive on debut at Bath, and, in hindsight, the form of her run behind Lady Iman in a G3 at Naas, might not actually be that bad!
She’s enjoyed a nice break since May and has filled out a bit, so she could easily run well and hopefully give her owners a great day out.
Magician Of Riga (Tom Greatrex)
He needs to improve on his two starts to date, and we’re dropping in trip, but this is a typically hot sales race, and if he can finish in the first money, I’ll be delighted.
4:45
Logi Bear (Sean Levey)
He stayed on really nicely at Goodwood last time (over six) which suggested he’s ready for a step up in trip, and the handicapper has even dropped him a couple of pounds.
There’s not much rain around, and he probably prefers a bit of cut, but they do a great job at York, so it should still ride with plenty of juice, and he has a solid each-way squeak.
Ballistic Missile (James Doyle)
He was unlucky not to win at Newmarket, where he just failed to get up on his first run in a handicap, and he’s still learning all the time.
This is a wide-open race but he’s a smart colt and, having won on debut at the track, I’d like to think he’ll be extremely competitive.
