York
1.30 Gatewood, Labarinto and Kirthill look the trio to concentrate on. Gatewood has only had 3 career starts but is potentially well handicapped on the basis of his first two runs. Labarinto was a progressive sort last season and should be all the better for his run down the field in the Newbury Spring Cup. Kirthill finished last season with a win at Newbury and there may be further improvement to come. Not a lot to choose between these 3 but if pushed for a single selection it would be Labarinto.
2.00 York Glory won 4 times last season including one success on the Knavemire. He is the selection. Victoire de Lyphar had a poor season last term and has been below par on his runs this time. He is a course and distance winner though and would be a big danger if recapturing his old form.
2.30 The Fugue was running on at the finish in the 1,000 Guineas and should be suited by the extra trip here.
3.00 Hoof It, Mayson and Sirius Prospect form my shortlist. Mayson is just preferred to Hoof It.
4.45 Tartiflette was a good second at Newbury last month and can go one better here. Byronic Hero could run well at a big price.
Bath selection
8.10 Jawim
