Wednesday Racing Tips: Key Timeform data, including a top-rated Horse In Focus

13:50 York - Corolla Point has leading claims for in-form yard

5 (9)

Corolla Point (Ire)

• J: Callum Rodriguez
• T: Edward Bethell
• F: 4811-3321

• SBK 5/1
• EXC 8.4

Corolla Point made a fine start on joining Ed Bethell last season, with wins at Haydock and Hamilton, and had threatened to come good again after finishing placed in his first three races this year.

He duly did so back at Hamilton at the start of the month when putting up a smart effort under 10-0 to edge out Eternal Sunshine and Fluorescence in a three-way photo.

The third has franked that form with a win at Pontefract on Sunday and, heading the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings, Corolla Point looks capable of following up with Bethell having the 'Hot Trainer' flag.

15:00 York - Pierre Bonnard weighted to come out on top

5 (2)

Pierre Bonnard (Ire)

• J: W. M. Lordan
• T: Aidan O'Brien, Ireland
• F: 4111-7273

• SBK 11/4
• EXC 3.95

This looks a cracking renewal of the Great Voltigeur Stakes, not least because the first two from the Derby, Christmas Day and Maltese Cross meet again, though this time on better ground.

However, both have Group 1 penalties to carry, with Maltese Cross winning the Grand Prix de Paris since Epsom, and that brings Christmas Day's stablemate Pierre Bonnard right into the mix.

He was only seventh at Epsom but was just a neck behind Christmas Day when they were placed in the Irish Derby, and can turn the tables on these terms, heading the Timeform ratings for 'Hot Trainer' Aidan O'Brien.

16:10 York - More to come from Kirchner

3 (5)

Kirchner (Ire)

• J: Ryan Moore
• T: James Owen
• F: 3/434-7521

• SBK 4/1
• EXC 6.2

Kirchner has improved with each run this year since joining James Owen from France, proving suited by a test of stamina as he showed when upped markedly in trip to finish second in the Northumberland Plate.

Since then, he has gone on to win the Brown Jack Handicap at Ascot with plenty in hand, asserting in impressive fashion at the end of a steadily-run race and earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag.

The placed horses Ghaiyya and Fireblade take him on again, but he heads the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings from a 6 lb higher mark, and the booking of Ryan Moore enhances his claims still further.
