York Tips: Top Trip

Ran well with credit at Group level last season and the way he finished off his races suggests he should benefit from the step up in trip.

With Cavalryman scratched, the 2.45 York has a very open feel about it. The soft ground leaves question marks against several of the runners, but it shouldn’t be a problem for Top Trip.

A close fifth in the Grand Prix De Paris on soft ground, he handles cut and has a bit of class, which he probably needs to win this Group 2 contest.

Having not won beyond 11f during his career the step up in distance might look like a problem, but the way he finishes his races I think he will improve the further he goes.

If you look through his form the comments in-running read, ‘ran on well inside final 1.5f’, ‘closest at finish’ and ‘stayed on well’.

With conditions to suit, Top Trip looks the best bet at 7/2 (Bet365).
