York 2.15 I don’t usually bother with 2 year old races , but the victory of It Ain’t Two really caught my eye ; she was all at sea coming into the dip at Newmarket ; but once finding her stride really powered away . The form of that race has worked out very well with numerous winners coming from it. Advised Bet It Ain’t Two 1pt win @ 5’1

Newbury 2.30 A very tricky looking handicap and not one I can find a selection in , so best to move on

York 2.45 A couple of horses catch my eye in this , first is King’s Code who ran well enough on a track that did not seem to be ideal last time out , that was a much better race than this and the jockey booking ( decent record for yard ) looks notable. The second selection is Theme Park who was twice second over 1m at York last term, this 4yo may find that another crack at 1m2f helps him to go one better. Advised Bets King’s Code 1/2 pt ew @ 16’1 / 14’1 firms offering 5 places & Theme Park 1/2 pt ew @ 25’1 firms offering 5 places

York 3.15 Zenjabeela made no impact when fifth in Group 2 Rockfel at Newmarket when last seen but that form worked out well and she looks a good prospect for this step up in trip; trainer runs two. Advised Bet Zenjabeela 1/2 pt ew @ 12’1

York 3.45 Probably a race just to watch the top two in the betting as Moore who usually rides Vauban ( returning from a break ) is on favourite Tower of London , the others have a bit to find on form with those two with the exception being last years winner Giavellotto who strikes me as the type that could just out run the odds against the top two , yes he has something to find with Tower of London from Dubai , but he just looks value at the current odds given the course and distance win last year. Advised Bet Giavellotto 1/2 pt ew @ 6’1

York 4.15 A very uninteresting novice race for 3 year olds restricted to just one run
