Respond boasts two wins and three places from his last five starts, with today's trip and going already proven. Thirty-six days off, carrying 138lb from stall 20, he ranks fourth of 22 on our figures — needing more to reel in the pair rated above him.

Warrant Holder heads our figures, backed by two wins and three places from his last five starts and today's trip and going already proven. Fresh within three weeks, he carries 138lb from stall 9 — only his modest speed figure offers pause.

Thunder Run is without a win in his last five starts, mixing a runner-up effort with four modest finishes, though a strong speed figure of 98 puts him third of 22 on our figures. Proven over today's trip and going, his indifferent placings remain the risk.

Warrant Holder
Confidence: Medium

Warrant Holder (SR 107, 10/3) is comfortably the highest-rated horse in this field — 4 points clear of the next-best Yabher (SR 103) — and that ability advantage is backed by genuine market confidence: a 9% shortening from opening price is meaningful in a 22-runner heritage handicap where money is usually well-informed. The Gosden yard operates at 25% career strike rate with 698 runners, one of the strongest stables in the game, and Course:W1P1 at York is a specific plus on a track that rewards those who know the track's idiosyncrasies. Carrying 9-12 is not prohibitive at this class level, and a recent form line of 231-12 — last run just 22 days ago — suggests a horse in good order rather than a fresh-from-summer-break unknown. The 70-day absence and 13% drift for Yabher undercuts what would otherwise be the main market rival. Each-way alternative: Raammee. Main danger: Danger Bay — Danger Bay (SR 102, 7/1) carries only 9-9 — 3lb less than Warrant Holder — showed a sharp last-time-out win in form 3119-1 with Tudhope, a 16% jockey, aboard, and at a bigger price represents genuine each-way danger if the light weight advantage tells late in this stiff 1m2f56y.
