After our big fancy Cracksman came in, we are hoping for more winners on the Knavesmire.
York
Richard Fahey's two-year-old sets a very high form standard in the opener here. He won his maiden in good style, before finishing third in a competitive Group Two contest at Newmarket last time out. He wasn't beaten too far that day, and steps back in class. If he can be as effective over this shorter trip he should run a strong race.
Fahey's other runner Guzman could also go well. He's won twice in his career, both narrowly, but last time out he was a touch disappointing when fifth at Newmarket. He should perform better today.
2:25 - Actress (4/1)
Ballydoyle will get winners this week, and Actress may be one of them. It was surprising to her take on the boys in the Phoenix Stakes last time out and she seemed to run pretty well there. She steps down into a Group Two, and against fillies, so that form may be quite strong here.
3:00 - Chelsea Lad (7/1)
I have been keeping a close eye on Chelsea Lad for a while, knowing there is a big handicap in him. He was second in a handicap here back in May, beaten by Here Comes When who has since landed Group One glory. He has struggled a little since and could only finish third at Windsor last time. He should like the track and conditions and can go well.

Frankie Dettori will ride Enable, whose searching for their fourth Group One prize
3:35 - Enable (3/10)
It is extremely difficult to see past the great Enable here. She was sensational when winning the King George and should follow up today. She's a brilliant horse, and will take all the beating here.
4:15 - Mori (5/6)
I've got a suspicion that Ryan Moore will be quite happy to be riding Mori for Sir Michael Stoute. She won two times before finishing a very close second in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, and steps back down to listed company. I think she's much better than this level, and can show it here.
4:50 - Ghadaayer (11/1)
Another one in with a chance for Sir Michael Stoute is Ghadaayer who carries a low weight in this competitive looking handicap. She won quite well at Newmarket on her penultimate start before running strongly at Glorious Goodwood when fourth. Today's conditions should suit and she should run well.
Best of the rest
4:30 Killarney - Andesh (8/13)
I would be very suprised if this horse doesn't break his maiden today. Mick Halford's two-year-old made a fantastic debut when a length second to a top horse in Mendelssohn and should run well again. He'll improve from that run and I would expect him to be too good against this field.
