York Race 6 - Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Handicap
DESERT TREASURE (8) is unbeaten in two, last seen winning at Windsor over ~1025m by 1.25L, and looks a key chance fresh. SHES GOT A BROTHER (10) comes off back‑to‑back Southwell 1000m wins, the latest by 0.75L, and should measure up. SCHRODINGER'S CAT (12) brings sharp current form after a 2nd at Chester over ~1020m, beaten 0.75L. CHAIRMANFOURTIMES (1) has 1005m credentials, including a Listed win at Ayr, and was 3rd here over 1207m last year. FORTIFICATION (11) has solid 5f/6f all‑weather figures and was a 1025m winner at Wolverhampton before recent placings.
