In-Play Hints: Ladys set to come home First?

Thursday is the second day of York's Dante meeting.

Timeform analyse the pace angles in a couple of races at York on Thursday...

Race: 14:15 York - Group 2 Middleton Stakes

Pace Forecast: Weakly contested.

Specific Pace Hint: Ladys First has been ridden most prominently of these in recent starts, and could capitalise: Starscope has been furthest from the pace in recent starts of the better-fancied horses.

Individual Price Hint: Negotiate has traded at 50% or less of BSP twice on its last 4 starts.

Race: 15:15 York - 1m Handicap

Pace Forecast: Strongly contested.

Specific Pace Hint: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could count against Sound Hearts and Navajo Chief, who usually race close up: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Anderiego and Justonefortheroad are two who may benefit from being produced later.

Individual Price Hint: Brae Hill traded at 10% or less of BSP and 50% or less of BSP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Anderiego traded at 10% or less of BSP, 25% or less of BSP and 50% or less of BSP on 3 of its last 5 starts.
