The Yorkshire Cup (15:45), run over a distance just short of 1m6f on good /good-to-firm ground at York, has opened-up a bit with Hamish a non-runner. Selection is Al Qareem, who I hope will surprise and gain a podium finish, at least. Clifford Lee rides for the K. R. Burke yard. 8/1 (Wm.Hill/Coral/Ladbrokes) top price early-doors on the ATR site. E/W best option at these odds.
At least beat the the favourite home, but otherwise a disappointing run to finish only 4th. Winner was certainly fit and won easily by 4-lengths.
Win was expected but found one too good by the narrowest of margins. No guarantees in this game. Well done Swaneth of the Hills with the winner.
