Iroko
7/4
Age: 6
Weight: 11-8
Days: 225
A talented hurdler who won the 2023 renewal of the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival.
Went chasing last season and improved again, winning very nicely at Warwick before coming 5th in the Turners’ Novice Chase and 2nd in the Mildmay Novice Chase.
Returns to action this season in much calmer waters and should get back to winning ways.

Win Double Tip- Ruling Court (2.25 York) To Win & Los Angeles (3.00 York) To Win
Our Win Double Tip for the first day of Ebor, Los Angeles, a former Group 1 winner, showed his class with a gutsy Irish Derby win. Despite a penalty, his form is top-notch and he could challenge King’s Gambit for the win.
Ruling Court, impressive on debut, is expected to improve further stepping up in class.
Dark Horse Tip (17:20) - Sex On Fire
Unlucky at Goodwood, showed promise despite a wide trip. Fresh and well-handicapped, a fast pace should suit.

Fine Casting
16/1
Age: 8
Weight: 10-10
Days: 203
Bolted up over course and distance in December 2022 off a mark of 123 in fine style, but struggled to hold his form in deeper contests off an elevated mark for the rest of the campaign.
Tried his hand at chasing last season and wasn’t disgraced over the bigger obstacles in some good efforts.
Dropped back to hurdles now, a mark of 119 looks lenient, especially with a 5lbs claimer in the saddle. Well treated and returns to a venue he’s gone well at, can run a big race at 20/1.
