Race Favourite

We have JAWAAL as the 7/2 favourite currently for the curtain-raiser at York on Wednesday * (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Tuesday, 18th August 2020). He will be looking for a hat trick as well as he steps into action.

Jawaal has been in superb form since his return to action, opening with a Doncaster success and then a powerful Ascot victory at this minimum trip.

Naturally, with that kind of form, a penalty had to come and it’s 8lb up for him.

But he still looks very workable of his new mark and the claims, leading ones at that, are certainly there.

He sets the standards and he goes for trainer Micahel Dodds who won this race last year.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

JUSTANOTEHRBOTTLE stepped up in form last time out with a third-place finish at Ayr. That was a cracking run and he looks to be a good sprinter.

That most recent trip at Ayr was his second trip for his new yard and he looks to have the pieces to put together a bold run.

ARECIBO is another interesting one in the field as well. It’s been a long while since he put a win on the board but he is a very consistent type that knocks on the door.

Having dropped through the weights a bit, he is coming in at a competitive mark for this which would see him threaten.

One more name for the race is ACCLAIM THE NATION who can’t be counted out of this. He takes on a 4lb rise for some excellent recent form.

He found only Spoofing too good for him over this trip at Goodwood three weeks ago. There’s a fair chance that he can get himself close.

Race Favourite

CLOUDBRIDGE heads the market by a fair distance in this juvenile contest at York at 7/4* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Tuesday, 18th August 2020).

He scored a fantastic win for trainer Charlie Appleby on his debut.

That winning start was made at Leicester over this 7f trip earlier in August.

The speed was impressive and he has leading claims for following it up as well. Cloudbridge is coming up in grade but looks more than capable.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

DARVEL got himself off the mark at the second time of asking and he had been well supported for that race as well. That success was on a 6f trip at Ayr.

He had plenty to spare in that one as well which suggests he won’t find the extra furlong a problem. Davel is one for the shortlist.

GEAR UP scored on his debut over course and distance, which is an advantage he has over the rest of the field.

He was well settled in the race and put in a strong performance and has Silvestre De Sousa booked. He should easily be a threat in this one

Race Favourite

This looks like it is going to be a really hot race. Mogul is the current 2/1 favourite for the fixture and is the one who sets the standard here.* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Tuesday, 18th August 2020).

He finally got his first win under his belt since his reappearance when he collected a win in the Gordon Stakes. He had a couple of those which he re-opposes on Wednesday, behind him in that race.

It has not been all infallible stuff from him however since the restart, as he was well out of sorts in a disappointing King Edward VII Stakes when he finished behind Pyledriver. Still, he’s being well supported for this.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

We have to go to DARAIN as being the biggest threat to the favourite in this contest. He was an expensive purchase because of top pedigree.

He made his racecourse debut at Newbury in July and won in easy fashion. He then handled a penalty to follow up with another score at Newmarket at the 10f distance later in the month.

Darain has Oisin Murphy on his back and poses a massive threat.

HIGHLAND CHIEF could hold his own in this one. He scored on his reappearance and on his last trip he was fixed in the mix at the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood.

Highland Chief placed second in that contest, finishing between Mogul and Subjectivist. There are strong claims to warrant a look at a tempting price in a fantastic race.

Race Favourite

The favourite for the big race of the day at York on Wednesday is the impressive GHAIYYATH who is at 11/8* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Tuesday, 18th August 2020). He is up against some top-class opposition in this one.

The big statement that GHAIYYATH made was beating Enable in the Coral Eclipse and he is likely to turn up and do what he does, put in a bold run from the front. It’s been three wins on the spin for him since his reappearance.

He just has such power to stay when he hits the front and all of his wins this season have been such impressive ones. The 5 year old looks the absolute finished article at the moment and he should be comfortable at York to put in a good run.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

KAMEKO has a lot of appeal for this fixture as well. The 2000 Guineas winner was so impressive in getting that score on his return.

He has been a little bit unfortunate in his last couple of efforts not to have put more on the board. Fourth places in both the Derby and the Sussex Stakes were excusable. He takes on 10f for the first time.

LORD NORTH is another major player in this field. He showed immense speed in delivering the win in the Prince of Wales at Royal Ascot, which gave him a hattrick of successes.

He is now at the top of his game after some very progressive form and he has to be kept on side for this fascinating fixture.

Race Favourite

The race favourite in this big field is MAKE MY DAY at 4/1* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Tuesday, 18th August 2020). He has the handicapping favour on his side at a low weight and delivered a career-best last time out.

He scored for his new yard a month ago here at York and it was an excellent run from him over a 12f trip.

He had plenty to spare though so this extra bit of distance is unlikely to really trip him up. There are good claims therefrom Ralph Beckett’s charge.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

MONSIEUR LAMBRAYS has to enter the calculations in this one and the visor is helping his journey no-end. On his last run he delivered a win over course and distance and so he should be in the frame in this competitive handicap. His win here was accomplished easily so he has plenty in him.

ROCHESTER HOUSE is the other pick that we will make for this fixture as well look for a little more market value.

He really threw down a big challenge at Goodwood last time out where he was just beaten out by Hubert. If he is up to that level again then this drop back in trip could see him feature.
