York Race 7 - Tabtouch York Cup (Bm72+)
HOLLER NUFF (4) has had a quiet start to the campaign, but this looks a winning opportunity. CJP now hops on board and the blinkers go on for the first time. Out to this trip for the first time looks to suit on what we've seen this time in, and he can bounce back to winning ways now. DECORATION (3) won well two back before a narrow defeat to the handy Western Miss most recently in a BM66+ over the mile. On the quick backup again, but he's placed at this track and trip and he can make his presence felt once again. ARCADIA KNIGHT (1) got back and never got into the race over 2200m last start. The visors go back on now, with the slight drop in trip and the better gate may hold the key. Expecting a much better effort this time. GINGER GREEN (5) missed narrowly in the Western Miss race last start and that looks a strong form reference for this. NOBLE CONNECTION (2) looks set for improvement out in trip now.

Was safely held when second last in a BM66+ over 2200m at Ascot last start, beaten just over seven lengths by All Grunt after being close enough at the turn. His start prior was more encouraging, closing from well back for fourth behind Oly's Choice over 1600m. Can sit closer this time and make his presence felt.

Worked handy but had to cover ground when seventh in a BM66+ at Ascot last week, beaten just over two lengths by Western Miss at long odds. He was also seventh in a BM78+ two back when unwanted in the market, though late tightening added some context. Showing enough and the rise in trip may see him back on form.

Continued his consistent campaign when third in a BM66+ at Ascot last week, beaten a long neck by Western Miss after finishing strongly. That followed a NMW1Y win at Ascot where he beat Late Arrival by a long neck, so his recent form has real substance. Recent form stacks right up and he can get back to winning ways.

Made solid inroads from well back when sixth in a BM66+ at Ascot last week, beaten two lengths by Western Miss, and that was a better effort than his ninth to Truly Loyal first-up. He is fitter third-up, gets weight relief and has first-time blinkers applied, while Clint Johnston-Porter has won four from seven on him. Looks poised to strike out in trip.

Lifted sharply when second in a BM66+ at Ascot last week, beaten a nose by Western Miss after being unwanted in the market. The run prior was a fair fifth behind Oly's Choice, beaten two and a half lengths, so he has been around the mark without winning this season. Out in trip looks a good move and he can go one better.

Comes off a Class 3 win at Northam, beating Cheyne Bay by a long neck over 1600m after travelling well and letting down in time. His Belmont Park third to Vampi Queen two runs ago was also honest at long odds. Has to lift again.

Won a BM64+ at Leinster last start as odds-on favourite, beating Western Impact by three lengths in a six-horse field with something in hand. That was a clear improvement on his Leonora fifth, where he was beaten just under ten lengths by Boab Boy. Others appeal more.
