David Jennings has more ITV picks to come after 5-2 and 3-1 York winners on day three of the Dante meeting
David Jennings with his advice for the six ITV races at York and Newbury on Friday. . .
2.15 York
Clipper EBF Marygate Fillies' Stakes (Listed), 5f
DJ's tip: Ruby's Profit
I'm a big fan of Lucid and she's a shoo-in to win a sprint maiden somewhere soon, but Ruby's Profit didn't half put her in her place at Kempton and she looks seriously smart. Until she proves otherwise, I'll be on her side.
2.30 Newbury
Unibet Handicap, 1m2f
DJ's tip: Mustazeed
Mustazeed's form figures over this course and distance read 0114. That recent fourth can be upgraded too as he completely missed the break and ran a smashing race in the circumstances. He won first time out last year and I think he can do it again if he comes away on terms.
2.45 York
Knights Solicitors Handicap, 1m2½f
DJ's tip: Botanical
Botanical had better enjoy this handicap, because I have a feeling it will be his last appearance in one. The way he won at Hamilton last October made me chalk him down as a stakes performer for 2024 and there is still plenty of juice in his handicap mark of 97. Maybe he needs softer ground, but I think he will get away with it here.
3.15 York
Sky Bet Fillies' Stakes (Listed), 1m
DJ's tip: Devoted Queen
This has been a horror movie for punters in the last decade, with the only winning favourite since 2012 being Nemoralia in 2016. Snow Lantern was even beaten when odds-on in 2021. That trend has to stop some time and I think it will here as Devoted Queen looks by far the best of these. If there is a Group 1 filly in the line-up, surely it's her.
3.45 York
Boodles Yorkshire Cup Stakes (Group 2), 1m6f
DJ's tip: Tower Of London
This is a classy affair but Tower Of London has boot, proper acceleration for a stayer and I can't see any of these living with his finishing kick if he brings his A-game. This is quite possibly his ideal trip, but it would be intriguing to see Aidan O'Brien's four-year-old line up in the Gold Cup.
4.15 York
Darley EBF Novice Stakes, 1m
DJ's tip: Lead Artist
When First Conquest fended off Lead Artist in the Wood Ditton, instant reaction was he would never beat him again. That theory will be put to the test here, especially with the runner-up in receipt of 6lb. He really should be winning this if he's the horse I think he is. It's worth remembering the Dubawi colt has an entry in the St James's Palace Stakes.
