Big chances
Great Prospector - 1.55 York
Thursday’s Goffs Premier Yearling Conditions Stakes has been the target for Great Prospector since he won on debut at Nottingham. He went to Newmarket for the Superlative Stakes and ran a big race there and we’ve been very happy with him since. If he runs his race he’s got a favourite’s chance.
Rain would help Ventura Dragon as I worry he might not be quite quick enough for six furlongs here but there’s prize money down to tenth and I hope he can pick some up.
Guzman is quite nice, he’s a big horse and while I was a fraction disappointed with his fifth at Newmarket last time, if he brings his A game to the table here then he could go very well in a first-time hood.
Invioloable Spirit has been disappointing but isn’t without ability and can hopefully run better than his forecast price suggests.
Darkanna was second in a Group Three at Deauville last time. That’s good form and on it she’d have a chance of hitting the frame – or even winning – here. She’s a nice filly.
