3:05 Sky Bet York Stakes (Group 2) (CLASS 1)(3yo+) 19 runners 1m2f88y Good To Firm

Monitor Closely

debussy

Monitor a balls deep job here tbf

I the ****

monitor closely needs another mile

Makes all imo [smiley:crazy]

How far has Cavalryman FALLEN

Godolphin have a great record last few years in this, possibly worth looking to one of theirs imo

The filly Antara's form looks pretty good after the Falmouth....

I'd be very careful with Monitor Closely had lots of problems with his knees and may just need this race for fitness hasnt done much galloping at all

Favourite wins this.

If there were a valis excuse for Cavalryman at Ascot he'd have a big shout- anybody heard anything?

BTW anyone got any views on the massive TS ratings from the Arc- believable or not?

Why shouldn't they be? RPR similar anyway so could say it's pretty reliable. Only excuse could be the ground but seemed worse than that even so big question mark over him at that price. Does Rebel Soldier look a big price to anyone?

The market for this is an absolute joke. There is no way Rainbow Peak should be favourite, Cavalryman should be by a long way although I dont necessarily think he is the winner.

Allybar @ 20/1 is the value for me. If he reproduces the form he showed in Dubai over the winter then he will have an excellent chance in my opinion. Al Zarooni seems to be running into a bit of form, has had a few at big prices run well in the last 5 days (Miss Jean Brodie & Buzzword) and this really doesnt look too difficult a contest.

It's just that a race in which almost every horse runs a TS equal or above its RPR is very rare- looks a bit suspect to me.

Is cavalryman likely to run?

Nope Cavalryman not running. Allybar and Balius for Godolphin.

What wins this race? Although worried about Monitor Closely's fitness he has to be a good each way bet at 9/2?
