TIMEFORM

YORK 1.50

CHERRY BLOSSOM looked something out of the ordinary when destroying a big field at the Curragh under Ryan Moore a fortnight ago and could take this step up in class in her stride. Relief Rally and Flora of Bermuda are much respected.

YORK 2.25

Richard Hannon has won this in five of the last seven years and has four runners this time. Preference is for PERSICA who looked a totally different proposition when scoring at Salisbury last week. Ziggy’s Condor and Dragon Leader complete the shortlist.

YORK 3.00

Plenty in with a shout but Ed Walker’s unexposed three-year-old TERWADA gets the vote under a 6lb penalty for his convincing Newmarket success. Northern Express, The Gatekeeper and Sonny Liston are all well in the mix. Last year’s victor Blue For You completes the shortlist.

YORK 3.35

Middleton winner FREE WIND had excuses on her last two starts and arguably has her ideal conditions here. This looks a wide-open renewal, however, with Bluestocking taken to reverse placings with Irish Oaks winner Savethelastdance on this faster ground.

YORK 4.10

MODAARA was a wide-margin winner on return at Kempton and, having disappointed in a Group 3 at Haydock last time, she can get back on the up now dropped in class. Makinmedoit heads up the dangers, with Sea Theme and One Evening rounding off the shortlist.
