York - Saturday 10th October

[Stevet1859]

3:45 York: Quest for Success 3pts win 1pt place 14/1 Coral & Parisian Pyramid 1pt e/w 20/1 William Hill (Bog) Quest for Success was sixth behind stablemate Kaldoun Kingdom at Ayr in the Silver Cup and that was a fair effort. He may do better this time as Quest for Success had been off the course since mid July and come on for that racecourse outing. Richard Fahey has been knocking in the winners all season long and Paul Hanagan is in the plate. Parisian Pyramid represents David Nicholls and ran probably his best race of the season here in June behind Swiss Diva. Could not match the winner, but had his other rivals well beaten off. Back to six furlongs again on a sound surface should see a good performance.

Re: York - Saturday 10th October 2.05 York Makaamen - still showing signs of greenness but handicapped to win more races if in the right mood and form of penultimate race working out really nicely even if must bounce back after last effort. 16/1 SJ, 2.5 pts EW (4 places, 1/4 odds). 2.40 York According to Pete is a smart national hunt horse and its so tempting to smash him off a mark of just 65 back on the flat. However, he is rated in line with a basement grade handicapper for good reason because he has never won on the flat, but I do feel he will appreciate this more thorough test of stamina. A recent pipeopener will have blown away the cobwebs and could go well for Malcolm Jefferson. 14/1 Paddypower, 5 pts EW (3 places, 1/4 odds). 3.45 York Johannes hasn't done himself justice in recent starts but before that was progressing sharply. Trainer Richard Fahey rarely leaves the Knavesmire empty handed and this course and distance winner could go well. 20/1 SJ (4 places, 1/4 odds).
