Back this 3-leg ITV accumulator for Thursday:
Jim Goldie-trained American Affair could get bettors off to a perfect start in ITV’s first race on Thursday.
The five-year-old made an excellent return last month, beating Jm Jungle by just under a length at Musselburgh.
Had a bit too spare on that day, and overcame trouble over the five-furlong trip. Still has more to give, and a 5lb rise is unlikely to stop his progression.
ITV also shows a race from Salisbury on Thursday, and the progressive Media Mogul could rack up his hat-trick.
The four-year-old won impressively when stepped up to a mile and six on his latest outing at Redcar, beating Marbuzet by a length.
David Probert is aboard today, with the jockey striking at 13%. Up just 3lb after his winning effort last time out, and that could still underestimate his ability.
It was hard not to be impressed by Romieu’s British debut last month when he easily beat Obito by three lengths.
The four-year-old had shown ability during his time in France with Andre Fabre, and he could be extremely well-handicapped for the Adrian Keatley team over this trip.
Fits the right profile for this race, especially against a market-leader that peaks later in the summer.
Andrew Balding-trained See The Fire could be hard to beat in the Group Two Middleton Fillies’ Stakes with a recent run under her belt.
The four-year-old ran to form last month on her return against the boys when beaten just two lengths by Al Aasy in Group Three company.
Based on last season’s peak form, she has plenty in hand, and stays this trip at York very well after winning the Group Two Strensall Stakes last August.
Aidan O’Brien’s stars are dominating the Classic trials, and the Group Two Dante Stakes will see the return of the hugely talented The Lion In Winter. Ryan Moore will be aboard one of the standout contenders for Derby glory next month.
The three-year-old missed his initial starting point this season in the 2,000 Guineas, but if back at the level of last season, he could produce a stunning return to the track.
Handles York well after winning the Group Three Acomb here last August, with subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner Ruling Court finishing back in third. Bred to excel over this trip.
William Buick will be aboard Aesterius for trainer Archie Watson in ITV’s final race on Thursday. The selection was a standout runner over five furlongs in his two-year-old season, winning the Group Two Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster.
Failed to replicate that effort when sixth in the Grade One Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at the end of last season.
However, returns to calmer waters with the yard in excellent form, and he was a winner on his first start last season.
Coverage begins at 14:00 on ITV1 and ITVX Live races today include:
