Mikmak looks fairly treated on the pick of his form am relishes soft ground, so at 11/1 makes plenty of each-way appeal in the 2.40 at York today.
This Tim Easterby trained six-year-old won twice last season, landing a class 4 handicap at Ripon off a rating of 77 and a competitive 17-runner class 3 affair at Thirsk when beating Borodin by 2 1/2 lengths off 80.
He also ran very well when a neck second to Waarif at Ripon off 87 and when a fine 2 3/4 lengths third of 16 to stable companion Just Hiss in this contest off a mark of 87.
Mikmak comes into this year’s renewal having resumed winning ways on heavy ground at Hyadock three starts back off 82 when scoring by a neck.
He was the far from disgraced whne fourth to Ibraz at REipon off 87 and is now able to race off 85.
That’s 2lb lower than when third in this 12 months ago It makes him a player at the weights on the pick of his form.
Durran Fentiman has also only once failed to make the frame on him in four starts, and I think Mikmak looks sure to be in the shake-up on ground which holds no fears.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Mikmak (11/1 bet365 – BOG)
