York Tip: National League

Fastest closer at Chester by 1.15s when beating Coase. Form of race hasn't worked out but he should get a true pace to chase and we know he finishes strongly.

Richard Fahey won this race last year with the outsider Red Balloons and lightning could strike twice with National League. Rated 79, this looks out of his league strictly on ratings but he put in an eye-catching performance at Chester last time out.


It seems like I’ve been writing about Coase every other week and that was the horse National League finished ahead of at Chester. Seemingly outpaced (they went a strong gallop), National League flew home running the fastest closing sectional by 1.15s to prevail by 0.75 lengths.

National League’s closing split was a function of the pace in the race but it was still a sizeable gap back to the next best and hinted at a fair amount of ability. The form of that race hasn’t really worked out but he should get a strong pace in this big field and he will finishing fast.
