Verdict
Mickey is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at Haydock and HUMBLE GRATITUDE (NAP) is preferred. The latter finished well ahead of Gabrial The Wire and a below par Sha La La La Lee when scoring over track and trip last month and Ian Williams’ charge ran as well as could be expected back here last time when drawn on the outside. He gets another chance in this. Smile A Mile is another to consider after placing at Thirsk a week ago but Spirit Warning never figured at York recently having won at Windsor before that.
