ROMIEU was quite taking on his UK debut when making all in a novice event at Redcar last month. An official rating of 90 looks workable for the Lope De Vega gelding and a third victory in four outings could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from the returning Sisyphean, who ran out an easy winner over C&D in July last year. Blue For You and La Trinidad are some other likely players. |
As open as ever. The one to appeal most is BLUE FOR YOU, who has only won in July or August but whose reappearance third at Haydock last month suggested he has every chance of changing that state of affairs today. This 8yo goes well at York while the return of the visor (missing last time) is a promising sign. Mr King was significantly well-backed last time when a wide trip didn't help and, off a fair mark on his best form, may be next best ahead of admirable top weight (and placed in this for the last two years) Northern Express. Sisyphean and Romieu are both potential improvers now and both are shortlisted too. |

As open as ever. The one to appeal most is BLUE FOR YOU, who has only won in July or August but whose reappearance third at Haydock last month suggested he has every chance of changing that state of affairs today. This 8yo goes well at York while the return of the visor (missing last time) is a promising sign. Mr King was significantly well-backed last time when a wide trip didn't help and, off a fair mark on his best form, may be next best ahead of admirable top weight (and placed in this for the last two years) Northern Express. Sisyphean and Romieu are both potential improvers now and both are shortlisted too. |

Generally running well, last time fourth at Newmarket; bit more required now; used to act on fast ground but 2024 evidence raises a slight doubt. |
