BETTIES BAY had softish ground as a possible excuse at Sandown last time and can show she's still well handicapped for her prolific stable. Almarada Prince was a good third in a similar race here 4 weeks ago and is likely to pop up again soon. Yes I'm Mali, Mister Sox and Fiscal Policy also make the shortlist in a typically wide-open York sprint handicap.
