Timeform UK SmartPlays: Wednesday August 19

There's fantastic racing at York on Wednesday

Reputation showed clear promise amidst signs of greenness on his debut over C&D, and he emphatically built on that encouraging first effort when landing a maiden back here, overcoming unfavourable circumstances.

It's the opening day of York's Ebor meeting on Wednesday and Timeform have found three bets.

York 14:30 - Mohab

Mohab was unable to justify strong support on debut here but he did look a smart prospect when winning at Catterick in a good time and he may be capable of taking this step up in class in his stride. Mohab didn't beat much at Catterick but the very fast time he clocked suggests that he achieved plenty, and he looks the horse to beat.


York 15:05 - Storm The Stars

Storm The Stars has been kept busy this year, but he has rewarded his connections' endeavour with three Group 1 placed efforts in succession, and the drop to Group 2 company can see him gain a deserved success. Storm The Stars is a straightforward, likeable type with the best form on offer, so he will take all the beating, representing a yard in blinding form at present.


York 16:55 - Reputation

Reputation showed clear promise amidst signs of greenness on his debut over C&D, and he emphatically built on that encouraging first effort when landing a maiden back here, overcoming unfavourable circumstances to beat a subsequent winner. That form is rock solid and, with first-time cheekpieces adding an extra edge, he ought to launch a bold bid on his nursery debut, running off a mark which may prove lenient.
