Made an impressive return to racing at Catterick last week when dotting up easily over 6 furlongs in a low grade affair.

Gets in here with a 6lbs penalty, officially 1lbs well in and should make a good bid for a quick double.

Win Double - Lake Forest (3.00) & Mr Lightside (16:45) both to win

Lake Forest is a promising contender for the 3.00 at Ebor, winner of last year's Gimcrack stake, his suitability for the 7-furlong distance and along with a skilled rider in Tom Marquand puts the horse as our favourite for this race.

Mr. Lightside is a strong contender in the 16:45 at Ebor having previously won at Redcar and Nottingham and finishing third at Goodwood. He prefers to lead and is expected to perform well.

Sorry, no tips are available today!

Dark Horse (14:25) - Terrorise

The upcoming race is highly competitive, with many horses having a chance to win. Despite being a longshot, Terrorise has been well-backed by connections and could benefit from the extra distance and the experienced jockey Shay Farmer, who has a perfect record at York.

Plenty of experience last season as a juvenile and chased home some decent types like Aomori City and Field Of Gold in Group races.

Has his sights majorly lowered for his seasonal return but looks on favourable terms with the favourite and can put in a decent effort.
