SLIPPER SATIN, who has won over the course and distance, led for a long way in the race won by Indian Vision here last month and a big run from the winner in the first division will point to her chances. Adrakhan won this a year ago and is only 1lb higher but hasn't been running well while Tan Arabiq, who ran well enough last time, was well beaten on his only start at this trip. The Resdev Way has only won on the all-weather while Icefall has been running poorly, though has dropped to a lowly mark as a consequence. Calvinist last won at York in 2016 from 25lb higher but has been very disappointing subsequently.
