Two for this afternoon, possible evening bets will follow, details at 5.30pm. Also, please keep an eye out for price alerts for Saturday as the afternoon goes on.
Has some really decent form in Ireland and his third at Fairyhouse last time came in a better looking race than this. Key to his chances this afternoon is the ground, which he wants very quick. He hasn't had ideal conditions in quite a while and it is interesting his trainer sends him over to contest this race. With the stalls on the stands side, he might be well drawn in stall 20/20 and it is interesting too that the horse has hung left under pressure in the past - he will have the benefit of a rail to run against should that occur today and, with form in stronger company in his record, he looks overpriced at the odds.
4.40 York Eltheeb 2pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 12/1 (Stan James, Betpack.com, 888 Sport, 11/1 VC Bet, Independents, guaranteed)
The apparent second string of the O'Meara stable, but P.J. McDonald is a good booking and the selection really caught my eye last time out. He travelled best of all in the Cumberland Plate and hit the front fully two furlongs too soon, and I have to suggest that it wasn't Danny Tudhope's finest moment. He also raced on the wrong side of the straight, there was a clear advantage to racing middle to stand's side that day, and he was swamped by the strong far side finishers. The O'Meara horses tend to go well at York and this fella's best form has arguably come at this track behind Franciscian. For one who travels so well, I don't expect the return to ten furlongs to be a hindrance, expect him to come there a furlong out and hopefully go close to winning.
Profit & loss: day: -8.00 / month: -29.86 / year: +88.35
