Sirocco Sands (IRE) won the 13:20 York at SP 5.50. Ridden by Robbie Colgan. Trained by David Marnane.
No — the AI top pick (Furturra) finished 2.
Top finishers: 1. Sirocco Sands (IRE) (5.50), 2. Furturra (GB) (4.33), 3. Rbflying (IRE) (126.00).
The winning time was 1m 11.39s, 1.19s slower than standard.
Furturra brings the clearest form, having landed his last start in decisive fashion, but a penalty now sees him concede weight to every rival, which gives others an opening; Casino Star shaped with real promise on debut, finishing second with more running left in him, and that form has since received a significant boost — he looks the one most likely to progress here. Cagney, a well-regarded newcomer from a trainer with a fine record running good juveniles at this venue, and Sue's Last Chance, with course experience behind him, complete the dangers. Casino Star is our selection.
