[u]14:00 York - Set To Music[/u]
She was hugely progressive last season, winning a Listed race here in impressive fashion and then a good second in Group 2 company at Doncaster, and I would be very hopeful that she will improve again this time round. This has been her early season target for some time now and the track and the ground should be fine for her. There is obviously a slight concern about the drop back in trip - her best runs last term came over further - but she's in good order and this is a really good place for her to start her campaign.
[u]16:10 York - Star Of Rohm[/u]
He's a horse who has been pleasing me at home but the two-year-olds that I have run so far have been really needing the experience. I would suspect that will prove the case with him as well but he...

[b]Just two runners for Michael at York but both have place chances at least...[/b]
[b]14.00 1m4f Handicap[/b]
[b]Prompter:[/b] He has dropped in the weights to a mark I am sure he can be competitive off, even though it won't be easy giving weight away. He looks so classy on the gallops that I can't believe he won't be thereabouts if it all falls into place. These races are never easy to win but I couldn't put you off him.
[b]15:40 5f Group 1[/b]
[b]Margot Did:[/b] This is a very tough race for 3yo fillies and she will need to improve to make an impact. That said, she has been aimed at the race for a while and is working brilliantly at home at the moment. Anyone who backs her should get a run for their money, even if she isn't quite good enough.
[b]For more racing betting...

[b]York

[i]15.00 - Sweetie Time[/i]: She is a very lazy worker so anyone who had seen her at home would be finding it hard to be over enthusiastic about her prospects. That said, fortunately she tends to come alive on the track and she should give a good account. The step up to 1m will suit her but I would be looking for some rain for her as she is a much better filly when there is some cut in the ground.
[i]16.10 - Horseradish[/i]: I am turning him out quickly after the Victoria Cup as there is no obvious race for him in the next couple of weeks. He ran well at Ascot and left me with the impression that 6f probably is his best trip after all. I am still of the opinion that he has a handicap in him off a mark of 100 and I would think he had to have leading claims.
[i]16.45 ...

[i]15:00[/i]
[b]Mont Agel:[/b] He was a shade disappointing last year but a consequence of that is that he is down to a more realistic mark now. He appears in very good form at home - he has been doing good work with Horseradish - and although it is a hot race, I think he is handicapped to go well. Certainly if you watched him at home you would be hopeful that he is better than his mark.
[i]15:35[/i]
[b]Margot Did:[/b] We are having an experiment dropping her back to 5f now as I didn't want to get to the end of the year and find out it was what she wanted. It's a bit of a fact-finding mission - I think she should have the speed - but it is a weaker race than she usually runs in and she is in very good form at home.
