YORK
2.40: Top weights Full Feather and Face The Future are firmly in the handicapper's grip at present. TUMBLING reopposes Catterick conqueror Pleasure Trick on 5lb better terms, and should turn the tables under Frankie Dettori.
3.10: Desert Shot beat Knowth and subsequent winner Young Buster at Goodwood with something to spare and will prove a tough nut to crack, but KING OF NAPLES represents better value. Rated a potential Derby candidate in the spring, yesterday's rain should ensure suitable conditions. Fraam is by no means certain to stay.
3.40: ARCTIC THUNDER is expected to show further improvement over this longer trip. Old Hickory lacks a decisive turn of foot, while progressive Persian Elite is stepping-up in class.
4.10: Menas Gold finished strongly to beat Bellas Gate Boy at Newbury last month, but may struggle to cope with NORTHERN INFLUENCE. He relishes this trip, and remains on the upgrade. Kings Vision is another to consider.
