Winterval looks ahead of his mark and makes plenty of appeal at 6/1 in the 4.50 at York today.
The gelding ran a cracker on his firts start for Roger Varian after leaving Luca Cumani when second of eight to Ice Slice at Nottingham back in May.
He kept on strongly to go down by a neck and was gaining all the way to the line.
The winner, whom he met of level weights, has scored twice since to be rated 94 and the third home Alnashama went on to land a hat-trick to be rated 88.
Just Be Lucky, who finished fourth, has also scored three times since and that gives the form a rock soplid look.
It suggests that the handicapper has taken a chance in raising Winterval just 3lb to a mark of 82, especially as he looks the type who should have plenty more to offer.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 3pts win Winterval (6/1 Ladbrokes – BOG)
