The form of Sylvester Kirk's stable is a bit of a concern but Great Shot must have every chance on his latest fourth at York and stable companion Scottish Boogie has the past form to figure. Abigails Angel has winning form on soft ground, though her three recent wins have all come on the Polytrack, while Barathea Dancer disappointed at Sandown after finishing second at Bath. After winning at Lingfield in March, SNOW TROOPER has posted a couple of decent efforts in better company and this looks his chance to recapture the winning thread. Ocean Legend is on a very decent mark nowadays and Jim Crowley is a positive jockey booking but recent efforts suggest he's not the force of old.
