Verdict
Admiral Peary looks to be the form pick here and put up a fine effort in defeat last time out at Market Rasen. This was not his only decent effort of late and looks the type who will win a race race soon. He is the TEAMtalk selection. Nigel Wilson sends his Penguin Bay a long way from York which suggests he is not without a chance. The gelding ran well last time out before tiring close home. Roman Candle has form on a fast surface and if his last run can be forgiven then he may be the one to give the selection most to do.
