The Punt Acca: Harry Wilson looks to follow up a 3-1 winner on Saturday with three horse racing tips from York on Sunday

Three horses to include in a treble on Sunday . . .


Shah (1.40 York)

Shah has bumped into a couple of smart prospects in his two races. He made a promising debut at Leicester last month when beaten little more than a length behind Matauri Bay, who was second in a Group 3 on his next start, before finishing second to €1,000,000 breeze-up buy Angelo Buonarroti, who finished ninth in the Coventry, in the Convivial Maiden at York 12 days later. He looks to be crying out for a mile and should get the job done at the third attempt.

Cloud King (2.15 York)

I've been watching Cloud King ever since he made a mightily impressive winning handicap debut at Southwell in March. That was only a Class 6 contest, but it suggested he had plenty of upside. However, he followed that with three defeats in small-field affairs, but what was blatantly obvious is that he needs a strong pace. He proved just that when winning comfortably at Haydock last month and a line can be put through his Goodwood effort, as that's the third time he's disappointed there. This big-field scenario, with plenty of pace angles, should suit him down to the ground and he is reunited with Rossa Ryan, who was on board for his last win.

Yes I'm Mali (2.50 York)

Yes I'm Mali was a very promising winner on his debut over 5½f, travelling superbly well and producing a power-packed finish to get the better of a subsequent scorer, despite a tardy start and trouble in running. He didn't show his true self behind subsequent Molecomb third Mr Lightside at Nottingham next time but he has benefited from stepping up in trip and won a competitive nursery at the Ebor meeting over course and distance last time. He's gone up 5lb, but this is a weaker race and he's still open to plenty of improvement.
