NAP – Best selection of the evening
THE NAP (BEST BET) RUNS ON THE FLAT AT YORK ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON!
York 3.10 Sir Ron Priestley (13/8)
Tough stayer who has looked at the top of his game in two starts this season winning both convincingly; won 5 of his last 6 now and the step back up in trip will only play to his strengths; hard to oppose.
With 5 wins from 7 starts last term SIR RON PRIESTLEY somehow went a bit under the radar but he capped off a fine season with a brave second to Logician in the St Leger and he has looked better than ever on return winning convincingly at Nottingham on return before following up in great style in a Group 2 at Newmarket last time. He never does anything too flashy but keeps grinding and that’s what you need over this sort of trip. He is likely to push forward again under Franny Norton and I think it’s going to take a big performance to stop him landing the hat-trick. Santiago disappointed again on return when only fourth of six at Navan and needs more. Nayef Road might be the danger.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) ALSO RUNS ON THE FLAT AT YORK ON FRIDAY!
York 2.10 Snow Lantern (7/4)
Exciting Frankel filly out of 1000 Guineas winner Sky Lantern; confirmed debut promise winning impressively at Newbury on return last month; sure to keep improving and looks one to keep firmly on side today and going forward.
For a Listed race this looks a cracker and with plenty of these showing they are talented enough to go on to bigger races after this. SNOW LANTERN was one we thought could run a big race in the 1,000 Guineas but Richard Hannon had other plans for her. She looked a top class filly when dealing with the well fancied Derab (also runs today) comfortably at Newbury and even on debut she ran Zabeel Queen close who has gone on to run in very good Group races. She is clearly still progressing at pace and with usual improvement from her last run she will win this. Love Is You looks the main danger after a big run in the Nell Gwyn on return. If she builds on that the pair should battle this one out.
