The 2026 season at York begins with an intriguing two-year-old novice event where debutants could dominate. VARZI (6) profiles well on paper being a colt by Havana Grey out of Silberpfeil (French 1600m winner) running for the Karl Burke stable. Likely player first up. CUT A DASH (2) represents Richard Hannon who won this race last year. Makes appeal being a colt by Starspangledbanner from the stakes-winner Promising. Big chance. SPECTACULAR DIVER (5) is the only runner that brings previous experience after an encouraging 1.25L second in a 1000m maiden at Pontefract on debut a fortnight ago. Every chance. COURSEYOUDO (1) is by Mehmas from Spirit Of Brittany. Interesting newcomer.
