Inferno Sacree has been knocking on the door in each of his three races this season. He opened up with a third at Plumpton and then finished second in each of his last two races. His latest effort was at Taunton over a very similar distance to today, and he was denied by just a nose. Today there should be no issue with conditions, and with the help of a seven-pound claimer on board, Inferno Sacree has every chance of recording his first win of the season.

In his last race, Rukaana put in an improved display to gain his first career win. He won that race by a comfortable six lengths. Even with the nine-pound hike he has gone up in the weights, if taking another step forward he could well gain his second success over hurdles.

Tonight's National League game sees top of the table York City take on third-place Carlisle. Both of these teams are on fifty-six points, with Carlisle having played one game more. When these two teams met earlier in the season at York City's ground, the home side scored five times without reply. York City have won their last four away National League games and have not lost away in the league this season. Carlisle have been strong at home this season and have only lost twice in their last ten home games. However, I'm sticking with York City to do the double.
