YORK Wednesday 18th August page 2 of 10 SKY BET AND SYMPHONY GROUP HANDICAP (2) 3yo+ 1.50 (Rated 0-105) £70,000 5f89y (1090 Metres) RACE 1 Going: Good 11 9 OSTILIO (18) 96 Left handed, flat. In essence, York is a very fair track, ideal for the long-striding 10-960000 6 9-2 | 58.1kg galloper. In recent seasons, the field tends to come more down the centre of the Paul Midgley Luke Morris track than has historically been the case, particularly if conditions are testing. The Smart for Simon Crisford in 2020, bagging 7f listed race at Redcar in October. track was made into a circuit in 2005 and offers a straight five furlong/six furlong However, he has made little impact in 6 starts for present connections so others track, on which a high draw has been a distinct disadvantage in recent years, while are much preferred. seven furlong races start on a chute. 12 14 LORD RIDDIFORD (IRE) (12) (D) 99 Draw: Strongly Favours Low Pace Information: Extreme U1105015 6 9-1 | 57.6kg John Quinn Richard Kingscote 1 10 MAY SONIC (29) 97 Enhanced fine AW strike rate when winning twice in February, including 5f listed 10-141721 5 9-10 | 61.7kg at Lingfield. Cashed in on a lower turf mark at Goodwood but well held under a Charles Hills Paul Hanagan penalty at Musselburgh last time. Already a 3-time winner this year who posted career best when landing 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 29 days ago. Up another 3 lb but he’s much 13 11 TWILIGHT CALLS (20) (D, BF) 96 respected. 522-1214 3 8-13 | 56.7kg Henry Candy David Probert 2 5 HURRICANE IVOR (IRE) (18) (D) 100 Further improvement when taking 5f handicap at Newmarket in July and wasn’t 541d5-0120 4 9-8 | 60.8kg seen to best effect when fourth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood last time. Likely William Haggas Tom Marquand more to come yet, and he needs considering. Big improver for yard from France, stepping up on his Sandown victory (dead- heated) with an excellent second at Ascot. Only 15th in Stewards’ Cup on heavy 14 13 LIVE IN THE MOMENT (IRE) (15) (CD) 98 ground last time. Well worth another chance. 6121111-3 4 8-13 | 56.7kg Adam West Robert Havlin 3 19 EL ASTRONAUTE (IRE) (18) (CD) 98 C&D winner who enjoyed a superb 2020, scoring 5 times. Back from 11 months 924-19825 8 9-8 | 60.8kg off with encouraging third of 9 at Chelmsford City (5f) 15 days ago and is one John Quinn Jason Hart for the shortlist. Scored at Chester in May but last of 5 in conditions event at Hamilton (5f) 18 days ago. Landed this contest in 2018 though and the sort to bounce back. 15 17 MAJOR JUMBO (18) (C, D) s 96 770-56360 7 8-13 | 56.7kg Kevin Ryan Tom Eaves 4 4 SNAZZY JAZZY (IRE) (11) 91 Winless since 2019 but back on track now, ridden too aggressively at Ascot and 42355-046 6 9-7 | 60.3kg Goodwood on his last two outings. Course winner and one to consider eased Lawrence Mullaney Oisin Murphy 2 lb. Ayr Silver Cup winner during his time with Clive Cox. Yet to hit top form in three runs for his new yard this term, sixth of 10 in handicap at Ascot 11 days ago. 16 7 NOMADIC EMPIRE (IRE) (4) (D) s 98 Others appeal more. 26-422902 3 8-12 | 56.2kg David O’Meara Daniel Tudhope 5 22 MOUNTAIN PEAK (26) (D) 96 Without a win since last summer but he arrives in good nick, second of 7 in 415-54351 6 9-6 | 59.9kg handicap at Doncaster (5f) 4 days ago. Shouldn’t be underestimated. Ed Walker Andrea Atzeni Useful handicapper who is as good as ever this year, landing 6-runner handicap at Ascot (5f, firm) 26 days ago. Ought to be competitive again. 17 3 COPPER KNIGHT (IRE) (13) (CD) t 97 73157502 7 8-12 | 56.2kg Tim Easterby David Allan 6 20 PENDLETON (60) (CD) s 97 5-time C&D winner, latest in May, and posted good second of 10 in handicap at 32512/210 5 9-5 | 59.4kg Doncaster (5f) 13 days ago. Can’t be dismissed. Michael Dods Callum Rodriguez Likeable sprinter who won over C&D in May only to run poorly in Wokingham at Royal Ascot in June. Sort to get back on track now after a break for his in-form 18 2 ORNATE (4) (D) s 93 yard so not written off by any means. 48000905 8 8-11 | 55.8kg David C. Griffiths David Egan 7 21 JAWWAAL (26) (D) 97 Useful gelding who scored twice on the AW in the winter. Not at his best of late 00-775115 6 9-5 | 59.4kg though, tried visored when fifth of 7 at Doncaster (5f) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces Michael Dods Jamie Spencer back on now but others more persuasive. Completed a Doncaster double in cosy fashion in July but he beat only one in 5f handicap at Ascot 26 days ago. Still one for the shortlist. 19 8 MONDAMMEJ (25) (D) h 98 16304237 4 8-10 | 55.3kg Antony Brittain Cam Hardie 8 6 DESERT SAFARI (IRE) (11) (D) 98 Evidently quirky, but now more tractable and close-up third in Ascot handicap 18000372 4 9-3 | 58.5kg (5f) in July. Not ideally drawn over 6f here last time and is no forlorn hope. Mark Johnston James Doyle Has slipped in the weights and right back on song when second of 10 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. One to be interested in now. 20 12 SOUL SEEKER (IRE) (4) (CD) 98 43622117 4 8-7 | 54.0kg David O’Meara Jason Watson 9 16 WHENTHEDEALINSDONE (20) (D) s 98 Likeable sort who continues to thrive for this yard, adding fourth success to the 313-47161 3 9-3 | 58.5kg tally over C&D in July. Respectable seventh of 20 in handicap at Ripon (6f) 4 days Roger Teal William Buick ago and not dismissed here. Gelded and back to winning ways when bagging Windsor handicap in June. Added to that in good style at Goodwood four weeks ago so he’s well in the mix 21 15 FIRST COMPANY (IRE) (20) (D) b 97 despite 6 lb rise in the weights. 5-2405100 3 8-7 | 54.0kg Declan Carroll Harrison Shaw 10 1 LAHORE (USA) (25) (CD) 98 Capable of useful form but nowhere near his best when taking small-field Ayr 14060-060 7 9-3 | 58.5kg novice (5f) earlier this month. Well below par both runs since so it’s easy to look Phillip Makin Rowan Scott elsewhere. Made into a very useful sprinter in 2020, scoring over C&D, but he’s yet to fire in three runs this term, only thirteenth of 14 in handicap here 25 days ago. Needs 22 18 INDIAN SOUNDS (IRE) (32) (D) 98 to get back on track. 215-50362 5 8-7 | 54.0kg Paul Midgley Ben Robinson Yet to add to his three 5f wins in 2020 but he arrives in good nick, runner-up at Haydock (5f) 32 days ago. Ought to be competitive again. 22 DECLARED RUNNERS YORK Wednesday 18th August page 3 of 10 SKY BET AND SYMPHONY GROUP HANDICAP (2) 3yo+ 1.50 (Rated 0-105) £70,000 5f89y (1090 Metres) RACE 1 BETTING FORECAST: 8-1 Twilight Calls, 10-1 Whenthedealinsdone, 12-1 Hurricane Ivor, 14-1 Live In The Moment, 14-1 Mountain Peak, 16-1 Mondammej, 16-1 Soul Seeker, 16-1 Desert Safari, 16-1 El Astronaute, 16-1 Copper Knight, 16-1 May Sonic, 18-1 Lord Riddiford, 18-1 Pendleton, 25-1 Nomadic Empire, 28-1 Jawwaal, 50-1 bar TIMEFORM VIEW: Plenty in with a shout.
