2.05 YORK
TOP PICK: ALTERNATIVE FACT {ODDS:331067150:11/1}
Second choice: Kings Gift {ODDS:331067088:20/1}
The rain hit York on Friday afternoon and the ground was cutting up, so there could be a few surprise results on this card in this competitive handicap.
ALTERNATIVE FACT looks to have a very good chance of getting his head in front. Everything looks right for Ed Dunlop’s colt – including the softened ground.

2.25 NEWMARKET
TOP PICK: KADAR {ODDS:331071801:11/4}
Second choice: Magna Grecia {ODDS:331071804:4/1}
Only one of the intended runners in this race has failed to register a win this season, so this should be a hot juvenile contest.
Karl Burke’s KADAR looked very impressive when winning on debut and the evidence of the clock suggests he’ll take a lot of beating here.

3.15 YORK
TOP PICK: FLYING PURSUIT {ODDS:331067101:8/1}
Second choice: Teruntum Star {ODDS:331067142:12/1}
This is a tough sprint handicap to unravel. It’s around 6/1 the field.
The draw will play a part, although the middle of the track looked favoured on Friday, with most jockeys able to tack into that ground from any stall.
Rachel Richardson rode a great race on Just Hiss for us yesterday and FLYING PURSUIT can land her another winner.

3.40 NEWMARKET
TOP PICK: JUST IN TIME {ODDS:331071866:12/1}
Second choice: Uber Cool {ODDS:331071873:18/1}
The Cesarewitch, a historic handicap over a marathon distance, is sometimes won by a handicap snip or heavily gambled ante-post springer. Case in point Withold last year, who won this at 5/1.
The only other favourite in the last decade was Darley Sun at 9/2. In between we’ve had winning SPs of 25/1 50/1 and 66/1 twice.
Alan King’s flat runners are to be respected and I like the look of JUST IN TIME who is seeking a hat-trick.
