Martin has again been running a swoop all week, to enter today's swoop for a bit of fun to no expense send your selections for the first four races at York. You can send them to @Pigeon_Island on twitter and just like that you will be entered. Good luck if you enter!
Onto the racing!
1:55 York - Chancery
Dave O'Meara had two winners yesterday and as always is in fantastic form with pretty much all of his horses. Chancery actually began his career as a National Hunt horse in bumpers and once finished 2nd to The New One at Cheltenham. Since he has joined the flat racing ranks he has improved all the time from the average rating of 76 to his current rating of 91 which is four pounds lower than last time. He was disappointing that day and that run needs to be forgiven but the step up in trip certainly looks to be in his favour. Daniel Tudhope gets the ride back and seems to get on with him very well, winning his last two rides aboard today's selection. Chancery gets the nod for today's opener. (11/1)
2:30 York - Caucus
John Gosden has had a bit of a quiet season so far compared to last year but has just started to hit a bit of form including a big win yesterday with The Fugue. Caucus started this season with a good 2nd to Estimate by a length and three quarters when giving away 6 pounds which is strong form. Next time out he landed a strong race at Sandown in good style before going on to disappoint at Goodwood on his latest outing. He was beaten way too far from home and that run cant be taken literally, especially at a course like Goodwood. Today I would expect a much stronger run today in a much weaker race, Simenon is definitely the one to beat but Caucus could hold the key here. (6/1)
3:05 York - Gabrial
Richard Fahey adores this meeting and holds a leading chance here with Gabrial who doesn't come without his problems. He has been known to be slow out of the stalls but was better last time out so that isn't the biggest of worries today. His strongest form this year came from Epsom when beaten two lengths by Gregorian, in my mind Epsom is one of the worst tracks for him. York however could well be perfect as he is a lovely big galloping type, his chance today would boil down to whether he actually wants to do it today. If he has got out of bed on the right side then there could be a bit of a shock on the cards to lead us up to the Nunthorpe. Graham Lee takes the ride and the quirky Gabrial can stamp his authority on the Ebor meeting. (13/2)
3:40 York - Rosdhu Queen
William Haggas' filly was a star two year old last season but has been a bit disappointing this term for one reason or another. I hope for the world that they let her use her early speed today and go from the front as that is what made her so successful last year. If she does that then she can turn her whole season around here after a somewhat disappointing season thus far. One interesting point is that she has cheek pieces fitted for the first time which could bring about the needed improvement here. She will however need to find it as she hasn't won since her two year old years but has shown glimpses of form this year. Rosdhu Queen to cause a shock in the Nunthorpe. (22/1)
NAP - Caucus
Nb - Gabrial
Good luck if having a bet today and as always happy punting!
