Verdict

Mick Easterby has farmed races of this nature here over the years and Sporting Gesture can do his bit for the statistics with by recording a third course win of the season. However, he will need to be on his mettle over this trip and a saver option should also be considered with the in-form Loves Traveling, who is chasing the hat-tick today. Barman and Ellway heights have also stood a fair bit of racing this term and cannot be ruled out of at least running into a place if the get the breaks in running. However, Sporting Gesture thrives on his appearances in front of the York crowd and the unique atmosphere of the Knavesmire transforms this tricky individual. Paddy Aspell is a more than capable jockey for the ride and it will be surprising if the partnership are not amongst the main contenders at the finish. Market moves for Parknasilla King Revo should also be noted in what has all the hallmarks of a strong betting heat to bring day one to a close at York.
