Coral Racing Ambassador, David Probert, previews his five rides at York on Saturday, including Divina Grace in the Group 3 Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes.

13:30 York – Baba Reza


He is a seven-year-old now, but he showed at Haydock last July that he still has it in him. He looks to have dropped back down to what looks a workable mark for him. The quicker they go, the better for him. He has a great chance in what is a competitive race.

14:40 York – Miss Attitude

She has been running consistently well. The only concern is she has been slow out of the stalls recently. She is now rated 90 which is just 1lb higher than her last winning mark. If she can get out of the stalls well, she has the speed to hit the frame in this race.

15:15 York  Divina Grace

I’m really looking forward to riding this mare in the Bronte Cup. Her run in the Jockey Club Stakes was a fair one. We just got done for speed late on. This step up to 1m6f should suit her. A similar effort to the John Porter will see her have a great chance.

15:50 York – Last Shamardal

He is a nice horse who has done little wrong in his five career starts so far. Jack Channon has him in great order and he is straightforward to ride from the front. Hopefully, we can stay there at the winning post.

17:00 York – Harry Did

This horse has been running ok over 6f, but his connections are opting to step up to 7f now. A lot of his best form has come on the all-weather, but he has won on turf before. If he stays the trip, there is no reason why he can’t be in the mix.
