TRAINER Dean Ivory may well bring Royal Hunt Cup runner-up, Librisa Breeze, to York this Saturday for the seven furlong handicap , that forms part of £235,000 card, supported by Sky Bet.

Radlett-based Ivory is searching for a bit of juice in the ground for the talented grey gelding.

Librisa Breeze is entered back at Ascot on the same day in a valuable handicap but with scorching temperatures hitting the south of England, Ivory is very aware that there is the possibility of thundery showers for York on Wednesday and maybe Friday.

He also has Kadrizzi in the same seven-furlong race – worth £25,000 – the Read Richard Fahey´s Column At sportinglife.com Stakes; currently this horse is a 40/1 chance for the Qatar Stewards’ Cup the following week.

The yard has also entered Golden Amber in the six-furlong Sky Bet Dash, the £50,000 sprint feature of the afternoon.

All of his charges would benefit from some ease in the ground.

Ivory said: “We won’t be going to Ascot if we’ve got firm ground, which it looks like we’ve got. Therefore, we’ll have to run where the ground is.

“Librisa Breeze, Golden Amber and Kadrizzi like a bit of cut in the ground. We’ll talk to the owners who’ll make the decisions but it looks like we’re coming to York.”

Ivory isn’t overly concerned about the prospect of dropping to seven furlongs with Librisa Breeze, he said:

“We’ve got to go where the ground is. If we’ve got the ground, you’ve got to take your chance a bit over seven. Seven or a mile – either or wouldn’t worry him. He’s better over a mile but nevertheless he’s a horse that’s very versatile.

“He is a horse that you can switch off and ask him to travel whenever you want in the race. There will be more pace on over seven and he will sit there proud and I’m sure he has got the turn of foot to finish strong at seven.”

York’s two-day Music Showcase Weekend starts on Friday evening (6pm) with the Listed British Stallion Studs EBF Lyric Fillies´ Stakes as the showpiece. Kaiser Chiefs will perform on the Knavesmire after racing on Friday.

Saturday’s seven race-card begins at 1.55pm. The feature race is the Group 2 Sky Bet York Stakes, worth £100,000. The Corrs take to the stage at the conclusion of the action on the track.
