Horse Racing Tips: Paddy’s pundits’ epic Cheat Sheet for day two at York

I really like Karl Burke’s filly Miss Lamai in the 6f Lowther Stakes. Her win last time at Naas was decent and she looks to be improving.

HEAVENS GATE is an uncomplicated and useful juvenile, doubling her tally in comfortable fashion in sales company 17 days ago.

Celandine steps back up in trip to 6f today which is clearly going to suit. She may have been overlooked in the market.

Miss Lamai was a good winner at Naas and could represent the value here against a better fancied stablemate in Leovanni.

I like HEAVENS GATE who won a valuable auction event at Naas last time and had proven herself high class before that with a third to stable companion Fairy Godmother in the Albany.

Arizona Blaze has some good form at the top table this season, is hardy and the one I’d like to be on.

ARIZONA BLAZE arrives on the back of an excellent showing in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh and he’s unlikely to have reached his limit, so he takes narrow preference over Maw Lam, a useful filly getting plenty of weight from the pick.

Midnight City (each-way) hit the line very strongly at Newmarket last time, just getting the hang of things late on. She’ll learn from that and can out-run her odds now.

I have my doubts over Maw Lam so I’m going to take her on with Arizona Blaze who has done very little wrong in defeat. It’s a tepid pick though as he carries a big weight of 9st 9lbs.

AN OUTLAW’S GRACE will be very hard to beat as he’s run in top company since winning at Salisbury over this 6f trip. A huge chance.

Holloway Boy (each-way) has run some really good races this season without winning yet. He has to be on the shortlist. New Image might have a little bit of wriggle room as a win-only project.

BLUE FOR YOU triumphed from the rail draw in 2022 and has pulled a low stall again so he might prove the answer again at a venue where he goes so well and low numbered draws perform so well.

We haven’t seen the best of this three year-old Aragon Castle yet and with the weight-for-age concession, he brings in some very solid form.

Aragon Castle won well at Hamilton in July and he drops back to a mile from 10f last time. He’s wearing a tongue-tie and a draw in stall 10 doesn’t worry me.

A quick mile here might be perfect for HOLLOWAY BOY. A fine fifth at Royal Ascot in the Hunt Cup was followed by an excellent third at Glorious Goodwood. A strong each-way chance under Sam James.

Oisin Murphy was on board when Queen Of The Pride won at Haydock and he has learnt that she can’t hit the front too soon. She sets the standard.

QUEEN OF THE PRIDE looked a Group 1 filly in the making when winning the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock and shades the vote over stablemate Emily Upjohn.

Sea Theme (each-way) was fancied to go well against Queen of the Pride at Haydock, but slipped on the top turn so we can confidently put a line through that effort. A good winner since, she shouldn’t be written off.

Content was third in the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and was unlucky in the Irish Oaks last time. She was the best filly in that race and hopefully she’ll get a smoother run!

QUEEN OF THE PRIDE has long looked special and it might be the moment she hits the big time. If they go a strong pace she surely will be hard to beat.

Ryan Moore has been booked to ride Satin after she returned from injury just eight days ago at Gowran Park. That should have brought her on plenty for this task.

SEA JUST IN TIME got back on track when making a winning return at Kempton earlier in the month and remains a smart prospect.

Nakheel looks an each-way player judged by her staying on fourth last time from a very poor position. She seemed to race off the bridle and is hopefully growing more into the finished article with each race.

Noisy Jazz (each-way) won a mile novice race at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago off a really good gallop. She takes a huge jump up in trip and class but looks to have a lot of potential.

None of these runners have high ratings and it’s all about potential. FAIRY GLEN should have an each-way chance at least under William Buick.

Original Outlaw looks a player. He was a neck second at Goodwood on his nursery debut on quick ground and the conditions at York should suit him again.

This is wide-open but Richard Hannon’s ANGEL HUNTER appeals as a likely improver now up in trip for his nursery bow with Ryan Moore booked so edges the vote.

Godolphin’s Age of Gold has been gelded since his last run and an opening handicap mark of 89 looks very workable.

ORIGINAL OUTLAW interests me for Ralph Beckett and Hector Crouch. He’s blinkered and is yet to win but has run well in big fields at Salisbury and Goodwood.

She won on her handicap debut last time and Coppull Hall Lane can be competitive again off just a 2lb higher mark. A solid each-way play.

ALFA KELLENIC posted a useful effort as she brought up the 4-timer at Ayr last month over 6f. A 3lb rise looks fair now stepping up a furlong.

Queen’s Reign put up a super performance when winning at Goodwood in May before being beaten at Newmarket when odds-on. The return to 7f will suit and the Ed Walker stable are in tremendous form.

BACK SEE DAA (each-way) has gradually hit form this season and stays this 7f trip well. Her second at Haydock last time was decent enough and her mark of 91 looks workable.
