NIGHT RAIDER (3.13, NAP) can mount a successful assault on the 1895 Duke Of York Clipper Stakes by trainer Karl Burke at York today. A flop when contesting the 2,000 Guineas last year, he’s proven much more at home in sprints, slamming the millionaire Annaf at Southwell on his latest appearance in November.
He is one of three runners from the Burke stable in the Group 2 sprint and although he has yet to score on turf, he won’t be for catching if he can reproduce his all-weather form.

MISS TONERRE (3.45) is not entered in the Oaks but does boast Classic form having finished fourth behind 1,000 Guineas first and second Desert Flower and Flight at Doncaster last year.
She wasn’t suited by very heavy ground on her final start and should be more at home on a faster surface and longer 1m2f trip in the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes.
MARHABA THE CHAMP (2.10) can return to winning ways over the course and distance where he last scored in 2023, while ROUSING ENCORE (2.42) looks a value option in the 6f handicap after solid runs at Newbury and Leicester.
Before he goes up the weights Charlie Johnston’s TATIE BOGLE (4.18) can strike in the 7f handicap, four days after going down by a neck at Lingfield.
At Yarmouth, John & Sean Quinn send a rare runner to the seaside track, a trip which can be rewarded with a first win in two years for FINBAR’S LAD (2.25).
