The opening contest at York on Friday is a novice stakes over five furlongs (1.50). There are two previous winners and five debutants amongst the eight declared runners. Richard Fahey reportedly runs a promising type in the Middleham Park Racing owned Ventura Ocean. A colt by Raven's Pass, he was bought for 85,000gns at the breeze-ups during the spring. Time will tell whether he is quick enough to make a winning debut over the minimum trip on a speed track but I have backed him each-way. He is available at 5/1 at the time of writing.
