Jim Crowley Saturday rides blog: 'She could well be involved in the business end'

This fellow is the main reason I’m at York.  He’s a course and distance winner, and he’s run consistently well in his three starts this season, finishing second at Windsor on the most recent of them last month, with a career best effort.  He’ll have the tongue-tie on him here, which hopefully will help him find a little improvement, and a good run here could well set him up for a crack at the Coral Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood in seven days.

A couple of spare rides to finish the day with.  Master Of Combat has done most of his winning on the all-weather and will need to improve for his run at Haydock last time to feature here.  Pearly Squirrel couldn’t quite cope with a three pound rise for her previous win at Doncaster last time out, but she’s making a quick return so connections must be happy with her.
