Jim Crowley blog: 'I hope I’m right that five furlongs will suit this horse’

After riding a treble from six of his rides in last week's blog, Jim Crowley returns to Coral with another exclusive, running us through his rides at York.

My trip to Yorkshire last Saturday paid off with a Doncaster treble, so here’s hoping for more of the same as I head this time to York for six rides. I start on Rambuso Creek for trainer Kevin Ryan, always a good man to have on side at this track. 

He’s had a couple of runs this season so far, both over five furlongs, so we’re stepping back up to six here. Less testing ground should suit him, so hopefully they won’t get any more rain here, and in an open looking heat, he’d have an each-way chance.

Another good trainer to ride for here is Karl Burke, and his Arabie comes here off the back of a debut second at Thirsk last month. 

That was on heavy ground over five furlongs, and again, he’s another who should benefit for the better ground and the extra furlong, and with the benefit of that first run, I can see him running very well.

I’ve thought for a while that dropping this horse back to five furlongs, having done all his racing so far over six, would suit him, so now we’ll see if I was right!  

He’s been gelded, and on his first run since that, at Newmarket, he showed loads of early speed before weakening, which is no surprise as it was his first run back. As I say, I think this minimum trip will suit him, and he’s a horse I think could have a nice future, hopefully starting today!
