Who To Follow At York On Saturday

Our horse to follow on the Knavesmire is the Class 4 Handicap over 1m 1/2f and at a nice price the Tim Easterby trained Delgrey Boy looks to have a big each way chance.

The four year old looks to have been primed for this event with the handler and jockey David Allen winning the last two renewals of the race.

Delgrey Boy is a very unexposed front runner that if being allowed to stride away has the weight in this handicap to not be caught especially on his preferred quick ground.

Having needed his first run of the season, he went to Thirsk next time out and beat a decent handicap field by close to three lengths.

Since then he has been stepped up to 10f and finished third at Ripon and then backed that up at Thirsk once more with another close third.He runs in this event off the same mark as his last run and he looks to be a big player.

David O'Meara loves bringing his horses to York and on Saturday he has some great chances to get in the winners enclosure.

In the feature Listed Grand Cup Stakes he fields the mare Makawee, who has been knocking on the door of late and holds the best form on offer heading into the event.

O'Meara's other chances across the day look to be Bin Hayyan in the Maiden Stakes and Waarif in the Class 4 Handicap with both of them being big players.

Finally, Tom Marquand has a handful of superb rides across the day on the knavesmire and for that reason he is out jockey to follow.

He starts his stellar day of rides with Gifted Ruler for Tom Dascombe who looks to be the pick of the field if not needing the run.

Other big chances across the day for the rider are Roberto Escobarr in the Listed race, Skyrunner for William Haggas in the six furlong handicap and Bosh for Richard Hannon in the Maiden Stakes.

Marquand has been in fine form at York this season running at a 23% strike rate having landed seven races and six places from 31 rides.
