PRECISION Break only scraped into the totesport Ebor by the skin of his teeth but his good fortune can continue with victory in the York feature.

Connections of the fouryear- old faced an agonising wait as the Silver Deputy colt was first reserve for the race after final declarations were made.

However, the withdrawal of Munsef allows Paul Cole’s charge to take his place in the field and he can make full use of the opportunity.

Seven wins last year saw him rise swiftly through the ratings, progressing from a mark of 59 to his current perch of 94 and he still looks to be on the up now.

His seasonal bow was nothing to write home about but he ran Manyriverstocross, who reopposes, to a head at Goodwood after coming from some way off the pace.

Precision Break was conceding 1lb that day but he is 3lb better off this time so there is every reason to believe he can reverse the form.

Cole’s runner has inherited a handy berth in stall eight and a bold show is expected.

Orpen Grey is the choice in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Gimcrack Stakes.

Although he will clash with top-drawer juvenile Monsieur Chevalier, Orpen Grey looked a classy individual when just finding Arcano too good at Newmarket last month.

Tom Dascombe’s colt appears pretty progressive and while he will have to be on his game, a victory would not be the biggest of surprises.

Askar Tau flopped on his first try in Pattern company at Goodwood but he is worth another chance in the Weatherbys Insurance Lonsdale Cup.

Marcus Tregoning’s runner is far from straightforward but he racked up five wins on the bounce last year before just coming unstuck in the Cesarewitch.

He patently failed to handled the track when last in the Goodwood Cup and, with an easier task here, he can bounce back to form.

Four-timer winner Singeur relishes a fast surface and can strike in the Julia Graves Roses Stakes.

Another triumph for this in-form individual would certainly be a boost for trainer Robin Bastiman ahead of Borderlescott on Friday, and Singeur looks a decent proposition.

Bedloe’s Island put in a promising run at Beverley last week and he is the choice in the Stobart Group & Hospice At Home Handicap at Carlisle, while Hi Shinko can put up a bold show in Folkestone’s 10% Cashback At coral.co.uk Handicap.

Doon Haymer seems to save his best for Hamilton and the Hamilton Park Scottish Trophy Series Final looks a good opportunity for him to get back in the winner’s enclosure.

Brunelleschi can make the most of a return to the allweather in Kempton’s digibet.com Handicap.
