Autumn Festival probably ran his best race in some time when finishing third here over today's trip two races back. In general he has been regressing, but he is running off such a low rating here he must have a chance.

Westgate Warrior
Daily Racing
50 WINNAP
@2.75
Lose
-50
There are very few runners anywhere that look worthy of having a bet on. However, the one I do fancy is Westgate Warrior in this modest sprint handicap. He's quite a lightly raced three-year-old who has started to find his feet in his last few runs. He wasn't a bad third here behind Lima Sierra, then second at Beverley, before winning quite nicely back here a fortnight ago. None of the others look to be in any kind of form, so this strikes me as a good opportunity for the selection.

-50
Vince L'Amour is in cracking form at this late stage of the season. He all but won the very competitive five furlong handicap on the first day of the Western Meeting at Ayr. He can readily be excused his next run at Ripon as he was very badly drawn there. He then was a nice winner at Musselburgh last time, and looks good enough to follow up here.

-50
JM Jhingree hasn't raced over six furlongs so far, however I think it's probably worth a try, especially on this sharp track. He is still only three so he may have more to offer. He certainly has shown enough on occasion to make you think he can progress a little more yet. Jim Goldie is not a stranger to having winners at big prices, and this might be another.

-50
In the finest Tim Easterby tradition, Vince Le Prince has drifted down the ratings to a point where he must have a great chance of winning. He acts on soft ground and goes as well here as anywhere else. After running quite well in the mid part of the year, his form appeared to dip. However, he has shown a little more zest in his last two races, leading me to hope he can win this race.

The three year old filly, Noche Clasica, looks the most likely winner of this handicap. She only started her racing career in the Spring, and has done little wrong to date. Most of these are very well exposed with little improvement in them. Kevin Stott won on her when James Owen trained her, and Ed Bethell has booked him to repeat the trick.

Wobwobwob is another who relishes soft ground and has been running well enough of late to suggest he can win this kind of race. He was only just beaten at Ayr last time by the in-form Woven, and that's good enough form to give him every chance today. His back form on soft ground is even stronger than his current form, so there's every chance he can go close.

All of the races at Doncaster will be gruelling given the conditions, and only the hardiest will come out on top. On The River is much better on deep ground, and has a great chance here at a very tasty looking price. He is below the mark he won the Carlisle Bell off in the summer which is a positive indicator to his chances. He might just manage to run away with this.

This is a very open and difficult race to fathom, and the most sensible thing would be to leave it well alone. However, I am having a little each way interest on the Gordon Elliott trained five year old, Sermandzarak. This is his first try in a handicap, but he showed when winning a maiden at the end of last season, he possesses plenty of ability. With the yard in top form he can reach the frame at least.

Hyland looks a chaser with a decent future after a few solid performances last season. He's quite low mileage so I would anticipate more improvement from him. It's a very open race, with a few strong Irish challengers, but Nicky Henderson can claim this prize for the home team.

He's Bresilian has shown more than enough in his previous starts to make me think he can win this race. Jedd O'Keeffe's runners have all run well recently, which confirms the yard's well-being. I'll be surprised if the selection can't win this with a bit to spare.

Matata is a smart chaser who likes to dominate from the front. He's gone well here previously and must have a good chance of scoring. The yard often have their runners well forward at this time of the year, and this may be the day to catch Matata.

Classic King is a relatively lightly raced seven year old who showed some smart form last season. He is quite likely to progress a little yet in my view following his wind operation. He comes from the Emma Lavelle yard who are in good form at this early stage of the season, and Harry Cobden on board is never a bad thing.

I'm not a huge fan of Chelmsford City but I note that Theme Park looks quite a big price, running in a lower grade race than he normally does. Some of his runs haven't been too bad this season, and, if he could run up to his previous best, he could play a hand here. He's won once and been second once from five all weather starts so he should handle this track OK. Looks a fair each way chance.

Harswell Duke
Daily Racing
50 WINNAP
@11.00
Lose
-50
This race is full of out of form horses, so predicting the winner is very speculative to say the least. Looking at his back form, Harswell Duke stands out. Back in the day he won a Class 2 handicap at Doncaster on heavy ground. Because of his pretty lamentable form since he has sunk in the ratings to a very lowly mark. Any glimmer of that past ability brought out here could see him win at last.

Tiriac

-50
The forecast soft ground will be the most important factor on this card, and the ability to handle it will be paramount. Tiriac hasn't won for a very long time but once or twice this season he has put in fair runs, which, if repeated here, would see him going very close.

Silent City has progressed quietly as the season has progressed, and she faces her toughest assignment to date here. She won a touch cosily last time and the handicapper only put her up a pound for that. She looked willing to battle that day, which is a very good sign in a filly like her. Roger Varian doesn't over face his horses which leads me to think he believes that she is well up to this level.

My old friend Rory turns up here over his best course and distance. He has dropped to a ridiculously low mark following a string of very poor performances during 2023. He returned after a break at Musselburgh last week and showed a little more promise than previous runs. He usually runs badly after a break, so maybe he is getting his mojo back. I expect he will break slowly, as is his custom, but hope he can find his old spark to finish with purpose. This is speculative, but with Rory, anything is possible.

I'm very surprised and disappointed to see Wen Moon as the favorite in this poor affair. He's been badly out of form and shown very little in 2023. I hope the main reason for the lack of form is because he has not once had his ground. He definitely prefers soft ground on turf. This is his first try on the Tapeta, so it's anyone's guess if he will handle it. If he does, he could hose up against some very poor rivals.

Legal Nymph looks a very tempting price in this sprint handicap. At this level, on easy ground, he is to be reckoned with. He had a nice summer break before winning at Doncaster in September. He was running above his grade at Haydock last time so I'd be happy to forgive him that run. This is an easier race, and could be his for the taking.

This is a race where every runner has question marks against them. I think Rogue Sensation might be up to winning, given she has a few bits of fair form in the book. She was fourth in the Cecil Frail earlier in the season, and her second at Chester two runs back was a fair effort. All of her poor runs came at York, which might indicate that's not her track.

The Crisfords have probably had their best season yet in 2023, and it could be topped nicely by taking this hugely valuable handicap. He was very impressive here last time and looks to have more improvement in him. He hasn't been over-raced so far this season, and this will almost certainly have been a target for some time. As a bonus, he has a great draw on the stands rail, which has been the place to be at Ascot on the straight course all year.

Witch Hunter finished a very good third in this last season off a mark of 109. He runs from 101 this time, has a high draw, and should get the strong pace he needs to be seen to best effect. He looks to be in form following a good win at Newcastle last time. I can see him running into a place again.

We have to believe that the Gosdens wouldn't allow Field Of Gold to run if they didn't think he was back to full fitness following his injury. He is without doubt the best three year old colt we have seen this year, and it would be fitting if he could win this major prize. He simply couldn't have been any more impressive when winning the St James's Palace Stakes at the Royal Meeting, a repeat of which would see him home in style here.

Big Mojo is a fast-improving three-year-old whose second in the July Cup and win in the Sprint Cup at Haydock has a very strong look about it. In some ways, it's surprising he's not a shorter price, especially when he has such a good draw at 20. The trainer is still underrated, despite his success at this level.

Venture Capital ran a very good race in the Portland at Doncaster from what turned out to be a poor draw. The form from that handicap couldn't have worked out better, which leads me to believe victory here is quite possible. He ran a close third at Ascot last time where the ground was probably just on the soft side of ideal for him. Shane Gray has been successful on him on more than one occasion, and seems to suit him well.

Kinswoman is a progressive three year old filly who had won twice before finishing second at York last Friday. She had to come from quite a way back there, and York doesn't generally favour those who come from behind. This is a much less competitive affair, and I expect her to get back to winning ways.

Come On Over showed some promise earlier in the year when trained by Richard Fahey. I saw him at Carlisle where David Egan was heard to say he had ability and would likely win a Nursery if he didn't get his head in front in a maiden race. His impatient owner moved him to Charlie Clover, for whom he ran well here last time. He was bumped at the start, and that lit him up. He may have used more energy than was ideal, although he did finish fairly well. I think if he gets a little more luck this time he could prevail to make Egan's prediction come true.

At the end of a desperate nine race card at Lingfield comes the best bet of the day. Grace Angel was a wee bit disappointing at Southwell last time, when he looked to have a really good chance, but didn't quite deliver. He meets the winner of that race on eleven pounds better term, which must give him every chance of reversing the form. His seven pound claimer was trusted with a fancied runner from the same stable in a valuable handicap at York on Friday, and, whilst that didn't work out, the trainer must think something of him to put him up in a race of that nature.

Up The Jazz hasn't been performing particularly well this season. One exception came at Beverley, but generally, it's been disappointing. The handicapper has been slow to show much respite, although he is at a season low just now. In an attempt to aid his chance, Richard Fahey puts the very good seven-pound claimer, Ethan Tindall, on board this time, and that might work the oracle.

Vince L'Amour was agonizingly beaten into second in a far more competitive handicap at Ayr last month and is only one pound higher here. He was drawn badly at Ripon last time, which effectively cost him all chance.

Arabian Desert will need to perform better than his debut at Ayr to win this, but I think that's possible. He was very green there, but I thought he showed a lot of potential. He veered quite violently in the final two furlongs, and gave away an awful lot of ground. Richard Fahey hasn't had a great season by his standards but getting a York winner would be a little boost.

Reverend Hubert looks like he's been aimed at this all summer. He won the trial for the race last time in very taking fashion, although this is far tougher than that race. The very astute trainer, Charles Byrnes, has booked Silvestre de Sousa for the ride, and I don't think that's by accident. The jockey has won this marathon handicap three times already, so knows exactly how to ride the race.

I don't think there is any rain forecast, however a nice heavy dew would be helpful.

For the life of me, I can't see why Eternal Sunshine isn't the favorite here. Her form is better than anything in this race. She was hugely impressive when winning the Portland at Doncaster, a race which has worked out beautifully. Since then, she was a very unlucky loser in the Bronze Cup where she almost fell out of the stalls. She was then third at Hamilton, beaten by a very promising three-year-old sprinter of Ed Bethall's. Hamilton is not her track as she prefers flatter, quick tracks like York.
