YORK’S only Sunday card of the season takes place this weekend with over £100,000 in prize money on offer.

The feature is the £40,000 Betfred Garrowby Stakes staged over six furlongs. The initial 24-strong entry for this Listed contest includes some smart types notably last year’s Cheveley Park Stakes scorer Lumiere and the Group 2-winning duo of Muthmir and Buratino.

Danzeno is a regular in top sprints and the Mick Appleby-trained five-year-old is set for another run at the Knavesmire on Sunday. Last seen when competing in the Coolmore Nunthorpe over a furlong shorter at York, the son of Denounce is more at home over Sunday’s trip and has some smart form in the book.

Among his best efforts were a close third behind Magical Memory and Suedois over Sunday’s course and distance in the Duke of York Clipper Logistics Stakes back in May and his third in Group 1 company in the Champions Sprint on British Champions Day last October.

Appleby, who trains at Danethorpe near Newark, said: “Danzeno has come out of the race well.

“He missed the break in the Nunthorpe and it all happened a bit quick for him over five (furlongs).

“Six should suit him better and the plan is to run on Sunday. He should have a good chance – his run at York in the spring is strong form and he seems very well.”

Racegoers attending York’s Family Sunday can also look forward to four competitive handicaps and two intriguing maidens for juveniles.

The Hanson Springs Stakes, a handicap over six furlongs at 4:40pm, is likely to see a number of progressive three-year-olds face the starter.

The William Haggas-trained Gravity Flow could bid for a four-timer, having won all three of her races so far in 2016; while East Street Revue, winner of the nation’s most valuable Apprentice race, a Betfred backed handicap at the Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival, may take his chance as well.

The up-and-coming jockeys of the future take centre-stage in the Racecourse Challenge for Cystic Fibrosis Apprentice Stakes at 5:10. Leading apprentices Tom Marquand, Megan Nicholls and Clifford Lee are all engaged in what looks a fiercely competitive event for the grade.

The mile and a half contest is part of the ‘Go Racing in Yorkshire’ Future Stars Apprentice Series which culminates in a Final at Doncaster in November. Coming into this race, Clifford Lee will bid to peg back the current leader, Yorkshire-based rider, Rowan Scott (36 points).

The seven-race card gets underway at 2:10pm with the Judith Memorial EBF Stallions Maiden over seven furlongs.
