5/1

A dual 1m winner in 2024 but he came in last of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 6 months ago on his final run for James Ferguson. Enters calculations off a handy-looking mark for his new yard.

City Of York^h¹⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: D M Simcock| OR: 74| D

Forecasts

Star Pupil (4/1), Mr Swivell (5/1), A Major Payne (5/1), Billy Mill (11/1), Mr Mistoffelees (12/1), Westernesse (12/1), Lord Rapscallion (14/1), Commander Of Life (14/1), Charming Whisper (14/1), Savvy Exchange (14/1), Midnight's Dream (16/1), Mister Mojito (16/1), City Of York (22/1), Gunlock (25/1), Lessay (28/1), Cill Mocheallog (100/1)

This could go the way of A MAJOR PAYNE who comes here on the back of a very good C&D third and remains low mileage with the prospect of more to come. Midnight's Dream is feared most on the back of his recent Leicester victory, although a good case can also be made for Lord Rapscallion, Mr Swivell and Mister Mojito in this very open handicap.
