Strong form and horses to follow
La Yakel couldn't repeat his Ascot win. First Ruler finished just behind him. Sea King was never really in a position to challenge back down in trip. Sheer Rocks ran after seven weeks off. Caius Chorister came up short in listed race at Longchamp. Simply Sondheim was bidding for a seventh straight win but faded.
Post Impressionist won his first handicap in York. The Gadget Man acquitted himself well against three-year-olds. Nathanael Greene had gone up 8 lb for Haydock and he was riding well after three months off. Flamborough was in good form and finished second. The field came stand side in the straight and Zain Nights was short of room. He dropped out and came from two furlongs out to finish nearest at the finish. It was a 0-105 handicaps. Three of the first five horses had been involved in a messy race won by Double Cherry at HayDock last month.
