York Race 6

Darley Ebf 'Confined' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $79,704

The John and Thady Gosden team won both renewals of this so far and can complete the hat-trick with BOWMARK (1) who looked good making a winning start at Kempton. Lost little in defeat behind a nice performer attempting the Listed Burradon Stakes over 1600m at Newcastle second-up. CROWN OF OAKS (4) was unlucky not to beat POINT OF CONTACT (2) over 1600m at Newbury making reappearance last month. Short of room at a crucial stage on that occasion before running on nicely into third. Trained by William Haggas and can reverse form. The latter could provide a bold sight. SEA THE WONDER (7) rates the pick of newcomers.

Second-up. Strong on debut as favourite; won by 4.5 len at Kempton Park All Weather December 4 over 1600m defeating Oursin with 59kg at $6. Returned from break 2nd in a small field at Newcastle All Weather in the LR Burradon Stakes on April 18 over 1600m, neck behind Glittering Legend carrying 59kg at $2.50. Genuine performer who is the one to beat.

Second-up. First start 3rd of 16 at Newbury on July 19 over 1400m, 4 len behind Linwood carrying 59kg at $15. Went for a spell before returning won by a head at Newbury April 12 over 1600m defeating Beagle Bay carrying 60.5kg at $4.50. Back in good order and is one of the chances.

First-starter by Kodi Bear out of Mac Jetes. Betting is the best pointer to his chances.

At debut, in a small field at Catterick on April 23 over 1400m, 4 len behind Troia with 57kg at $15. Might find this line-up too tough.
