@ YORK

By Mr Tom Segal


2.00
YORKSHIRE LADY

3.40
WASHINGTON HEIGHTS + MILL STREAM.

Many punters tend to shun the horses at the top of the weights in handicaps but I like horses that have the best form and on his fourth in last year's Acomb or his second to Noble Style at Newmarket, there has to be a good chance that Mill Stream remains a well-handicapped horse in the Oakmere Homes Supporting Macmillan Sprint Handicap at York (3.40).

Mill Stream clearly didn't seem to stay 7f at this track as a juvenile but he came to challenge a furlong out in a race won by the subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean, with the Craven victor in second and the Commonwealth Cup fancy Shaquille well behind. On that form he is well handicapped off a mark of 98.

The question is whether he can repeat that level as he didn't show that much on his comeback run at Haydock, but that was on the day of the infamous draw advantage and he was up against Little Big Bear and his pals. This is clearly nowhere near as classy as that race was and fast ground at this trip and track should be ideal.

Quinault is improving at a rate of knots and there could be more to come from him too but it's interesting that Marco Ghiani, who rode him to win at Newmarket last time, is on board Mill Stream this time.

The other one to back is Washington Heights just because he's a solid sprinter who always runs his race. He has bumped into Shaquille and Quinault the last twice and has only gone up a couple of pounds for running second to that pair.

He was second in the sales race over course and distance last year and while there is no knowing where the best of the draw will be, if I could choose I would like to be in the low stalls and Washington Heights breaks from stall five.

The other bet at York comes in the Queen Mother's Cup Handicap (2.00) because I do think that the locally trained Yorkshire Lady will have been aimed at this race for some time and I also reckon she's going to enjoy stepping up to a mile and half for the first time.

Yorkshire Lady is only 2lb higher than when beating a subsequent winner at Ayr last season and she ran a race full of promise at this track over shorter on her comeback run. Ideally she might prefer some give in the ground but she's won on a fast surface and Serena Brotherton rides her out a lot at home.

With the Mick and David Easterby team in great form, Yorkshire Lady looks sure to go well and if she is at her best, she has as good a chance as any.

At Sandown everyone seems to be of the same opinion in that the Charlie Hills-trained Bodorgan is going to be hard to beat after an eyecatching run behind the Jersey Stakes hope Covey in the Silver Bowl at Haydock.

However, he's plenty short enough for the Aspall Cyder 1728 Handicap (2.15) now, especially as he has the unexposed New Dimension in against him. The latter was a bit disappointing after his debut win but he still has plenty of potential and decent ground over a mile should suit him ideally too.

The question is whether New Dimension will be at his best after a layoff and so it might be best to leave the race alone, especially as Dutch Decoy has every chance on his Epsom run as well.
