York 11th June

2.50 York A fantastic looking handicap and the old boy Blue Spinnaker has been in fantastic form this summer/spring and will certainly appreciate the softer ground returning and has aquitted himself well in big field handicaps of this nature before including when winning on first day of season off a 12lb lower mark but still remains well handicapped on old form and has aquitted himself well of this mark last time out. Duke of Tourraine was well backed before being a late withdrawal a few weeks back, clearly had problems with well over a year off track but was useful over hurdles and flat before this time off and handicapper giving him a chance allowing him to run off a mark 7lb below his last winning mark and is another that will relish any further rain. 0.25pt e/w blue spinnaker 0.25pt e/w duke of tourraine 4.35 York Atlantic story is extremely well handicapped on AW form and does go well fresh but never been quite such interest on turf, luscivious will relish return to softer conditions but 8lb rise looks a little harsh. Equuleus pictor looks a big price, he often goes well when following up a run in quick succession and wasnt beaten that far last time out, he won this race last year off a 2lb higher mark under same jockey and exactly same ground conditions. Captain Carey was an impressive winner last time out and Abraham Lincoln and Hajoum has held that form up since and still looks a little better than a class 3 handicapper and a further 4lb looks lenient and has won on soft ground. 0.5pt win captain carey 4/1 pp 0.25pt e/w equuleus pictor 16/1 pp

Re: York 11th June 435 Equuleus Pictor won this last year off 85 with Jack Dean claiming 5lb, the same pair team up again off 83 with a 3lb claim. The draw is exactly the same, no reason why it cannot go close again. The horse has won on its 2nd, 4th & 3rd start each season so far and this is its 4th start this season so a perfect time to hit the win. SP was 7/1 last year, and this year i can get double that. 16/1 Paddy power 4pts win
