note: Unless there are overnight withdrawals there is always one clear top rated horse (in both services). There are never more than three horses (in either service) in the top two in any race where there are joint 2nd tops (one top rated two joint 2nd top). There are never more than four horses in the top three (in either service) in any race where there are either joint 2nd or joint third tops.

If a horse isn't in the top three rated of the handicaps or the speed ratings, then it is highly likely it won't win.

Though Hamish McGonagall has appeared a professional loser to some this season, he has run some very game races in defeat and hardly shifted in the handicap. The 1-45 at York looks to be an ideal race for a horse who can't quite last out 6f. The specialist 5.5f may be just what he wants and he carries my money with a certain amount of confidence on a very suitable track for his style of running.

Have a good day.
