3yo+ Handicap - Form Comments
| 1 | Brunch | Plenty of York experience including course and distance success, and slightly unlucky not to win here two starts back. |
| 2 | Boosala | A disappointing favourite when last seen, on an all-weather surface. But a fast finish had seen him almost win at Chester previously. |
| 3 | Escobar | A six-time winner from his busy 60 race career, the latest win coming with a fast-finish over 1400m here in May. Not beaten far in this last year. |
| 4 | Tyrrhenian Sea | Has won three of his five all-weather runs, but only last of four – though not beaten far – on his turf debut at Windsor in June. |
| 5 | Rhoscolyn | Won three consecutive handicaps in 2021 but has failed to score in 14 starts since though some good efforts mean that his handicap mark remains high. He’s tough. |
| 6 | Shelir | Competes off a 4lb higher mark than when leading throughout to easily beat 19 rivals in a soft-ground handicap over this course and distance last October. |
| 7 | Cruyff Turn | Scored a brave victory in this hot handicap last year, proving his liking for this course and distance when winning here again in May. |
| 8 | Shining Blue | Frankie Dettori’s mount is fitted with a hood for the first time. Looked a hot prospect when winning his first three starts before a dismal show last time. |
| 9 | Saga | A beaten favourite in three of his four starts this season, but far too soon to write him off as his power-packed finish from too far back had almost won him a 1600m Royal Ascot handicap. |
| 10 | Lion Tower | Three good York runs this year, include a 1400m handicap victory. Handicap mark still rising after a Redcar victory but he rarely runs a bad race. |
| 11 | Orbaan | In great form for a trainer who has a good record in this. Pounced late to win at Goodwood and Ascot on his last two starts. Slow ground might bring further improvement. |
| 12 | Young Fire | Encouraging efforts earlier this season – including here. Soft ground looks ideal. |
| 13 | Bass Player | Encouraging runs on all four starts, including in Listed and G3 company. Beaten a short-head in a 1600m Newmarket handicap last time. |
| 14 | Isla Kai | Narrowly beaten in a handicap over this course and distance last year. Likes to lead early but likely to be lots of competition for that role here. |
| 15 | Echo Point | A beaten favourite in two Meydan handicaps earlier this year. Probably wants slower ground than the fast he encountered when a solid second at Newmarket. |
| 16 | Revich | First run at this track on his 39th career start which includes five wins. Positive efforts on latest three starts and third of 18 at long odds at Goodwood last time. |
| 17 | Blue For You | His two runs this season over this course and distance have been excellent efforts despite narrow defeats. Then ran a cracker at Goodwood despite a difficult trip. Chance. |
| 18 | What’s The Story | Back in form on his last two starts, latterly winning at Ayr. Led close home to win this prestigious handicap back in 2019. Well handicapped if at his best. |
| 19 | Ouzo | Best on a slow surface, conditions that saw him bravely win a handicap over this course and distance in 2020. Good efforts despite quick ground on last two starts. |
| 20 | Northern Express | Won two handicaps here. But may be better over 1400m. |
