[b]York is the venue for today's placepot...[/b]
[b]14:00[/b] - All the eggs in one basket here regards the draw, trusting that the stand side is the place to be in the hope and anticipation that Silaah (from 19) will blast off, and we're literally betting that one or two or maybe even three of Ancient Cross, Ginger Ted and Midnight Martini will arrive on the scene late; they've all done it at this track before.
[b]14:30[/b] - If you thought the first race was hard, get a load of this: essentially thirteen unknown quantities. East Meets West, the only one with a Timeform large 'P', is first on the list, and don't be fooled by the fact he's still a maiden, as he would have won a listed race last time by around 15 lengths (at a conservative estimate) with a clear run.

[b]The weekend's racing offered the best of both the Flat and NH games, with Casamento stating his classic case with a win in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy on the Flat at Doncaster, while over jumps there were wins at Aintree for Monet's Garden as well as a pair of promising novices who took their first steps on the road to Cheltenham...[/b]
Saturday's best NH race was the Old Roan Chase at [b]Aintree[/b], won for the third time in its seven-year history by [b]Monet's Garden[/b], who confirmed himself at least as good as ever, even at twelve years old, in beating Poquelin by half a length in typically game fashion. One of the more interesting subplots at Aintree on Saturday was the chasing debut of the current Arkle favourite Medermit. In a three-runner affair, [b]Medermit[/b] hit...
