David Probert Saturday rides blog: 'He has a great chance'

Leading jockey David Probert has five rides at York on Saturday, May 31. The Coral ambassador previews them all in his latest blog.

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.

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.

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.
