York Ebor Festival 2010 (Day 1) Supporting Races

Symphony Group Handicap (Class 2) (1.45) - Improvement for ease in the ground may help WALVIS BAY (each/way) compensate for an 8ls rise for a good win in a Ripon Handicap last time and he should go nicely here. HOTHAM is the second each/way bet advised as he won last time and should make a bold bid again.


Sportingbet.com Nursery (4.05) – A tricky contest so I’ll just pick 2 and move on. The Hannon and Hughes combo were dominant in Nurseries at Glorious Goodwood and JAAHIZ looks to have excellent credentials here, as he should be suited by the step up in trip and had looked like a great Nursery prospect when bolting up over this C&D 2 starts back. The second each/way pick is HONEYMEAD, who is almost certainly better than she was able to show in the Albany at Royal Ascot, and she can go close off a mark of 82.

Patrington Haven Leisure Park Handicap (4.40) - Royal Destination is dangerous to underestimate with Oliver Peslier on aboard off a mark just 1lbs higher then when winning last year. The top 2 take the eye here in a nightmare race. ALMUIDQAAD (each/way) is 6lbs better off with Changingtheguard from their Glorious Goodwood meet and if ridden with restraint this time, can go closer here. Party Doctor is a tempting pick but he ran poorly last time and might not stay. SIRVINO was one of the most progressive handicappers of 2009, his highlight coming when winning John Smith's Cup over C&D. He didn’t have to be knocked about to get to within 5 lengths of Mabait and Rio De La Plata on return and if he improves, he should go well.
