405 York-Several of these have had long seasons and that may be catching up with them now,certainly this soft ground will find them out if not at their best.

Esteaming has only the 5 runs this season but only one since June.Its clearly been waiting for its favoured soft ground.

Its form figures on soft read 2nd-1st-1st and one of those wins came at this track.

With the trainer scoring with 2 of his last 8 runners,we should be expecting a big run.

Emerahldz has been very consistent but now steps up 2 grades after a hike in the weights,further improvement isnt impossible but it wont be easy.

Kings Bayonet has won on very soft ground but that was a 3 runner affair and my rating suggest its a better horse on good ground.

Aramist should run well while Chancery has 2 wins to its name around here and is back on its last winning mark but its not proven on ground this soft.

Back Esteaming 7pts at 6.5 at various bookies(Accept 6.0)-4th(-7pts)Looked to becoming with a winning run but weakened in the final 100 yards.
