9/2

10/1, career best after 8 months off when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago, leading 1f out and well on top finish. Fancied to be in the mix again under a penalty.

Forecasts

Airshow (5/2), Crush And Run (5/2), Bluebell Time (9/2), Meredif (9/2), Suanni (15/2), Glamorous Breeze (17/2), Newyorkstateofmind (12/1), Peerless (12/1)

MEREDIF was a decisive winner on her final 2-y-o start and, while she seemed a little too inexperienced for the demands of a competitive York handicap on reappearance 3 weeks ago, Owen Burrows' charge remains capable of better and is taken to come out on top. Bluebell Time had plenty up her sleeve when winning over C&D 10 days ago so she's fancied to feature under a penalty, along with Crush And Run.
