2.15 York – HARVANNA (1pt ew – 14/1 William Hill, five places)
HARVANNA is not the biggest filly to ever grace a racecourse, and she seems to need plenty of
room in her races. She got squeezed out at a crucial stage when ninth of 14 in the 5f fillies’ nursery at the Ebor meeting, though her draw in stall 11 of 14 (non-runner adjusted) made life extremely difficult anyway. Her other two York runs produced a win in a 14-runner fillies’ novice contest win when she raced
widest of all on the far side, finding plenty of daylight, and a fifth of 17 in a 5f nursery when she lost her position from her middle draw after being crowded before staying on again. Her two other wins came in a field of just five runners and in a field of ten when drawn in stall 8 and avoiding traffic trouble at Yarmouth. On paper, today’s 16-runner line-up doesn’t look ideal but stall 2 is helpful (assuming she’s not drawn on the slowest part of the track), as she’ll be able to avoid the likely scrummage down the middle of the track and see daylight out wide again.

4.00 York – SIGNIFICANTLY (1pt ew – 8/1 Sky Bet, 15/2 Betfred, both four places)
SIGNIFICANTLY has been running consistently well since fitted with cheekpieces, recording form figures of 12621286 (2-8), with the first sixth placing coming in a field of 27 in the 2023 Stewards’ Cup, the eighth place in a field of 18 at Newmarket on this year’s reappearance when the tailwind made life extremely difficult for his patient running style and the latest sixth place by just a length and a quarter when meeting trouble in running in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes (16-1). He found only yesterday’s Group 1 Sprint
Cup winner Montassib too good when second of 22 over course and distance last autumn, his yard has found some form of late, and any rain will suit.

Andrew Mount’s Myth Busters – Do Low Draws Still Enjoy a Big Advantage at Chester?
Chester is a track renowned for its unusual, constantly turning layout, which often leads punters to backing inside draws blind. However, in his latest Myth Busters column, Andrew Mount examines whether this is still so evidently the case. As a punter who once specialised in draw bias (I co-wrote two books on the subject in…
