2026 Lindum York Handicap Betting Tips
Corolla Point has ran well for Edward Bethell since switching stable. The horse was the winner as the 3/1 favourite at Haydock Park in a handicap race back in September, with that coming before another five furlong success on soft ground. That was at Hamilton, although the latest encounter at Beverley saw the runner fall short as the 10/11 favourite.
Adrestia returns after a lengthy lay-off, with Simon & Ed Crisford saddling a runner who was last seen running on the all-weather at Southwell back in September. An improvement is required here, although there had been a second-placed effort at Beverley back in August. There was also a fine effort at Goodwood when finishing runner-up in a huge field.
Air Force One was successful on the last appearance. That came at Beverley in the middle of April when the Geoff Oldroyd-trained horse having beaten nine rivals over five furlongs. That came after a bright showing on the all-weather at Newcastle where the 11/1 shot finished fifth in a field of fourteen, with the five-year-old having plenty of experience.
Jakajaro is bidding to win again after returning for the season with a victory. At Newmarket in the middle of April, the 4/1 favourite claimed a win by nearly three lengths. Over five furlongs on good ground, the win followed an effort at Churchill Downs over five and a half furlongs. There had previously been another US effort at Keeneland.

Jm Jungle is carrying less weight than the first two in the betting, with John & Sean Quinn training a runner who was able to finish second on his seasonal debut. There was less than a length between him and American Affair at Musselburgh last time out, with the horse having last been seen finishing fifth out of twelve runners at Ascot.
Pilgrim goes for David & Nicola Barron, with the four-year-old having finished second last time out. That was at the end of April when performing relatively well at Ripon.
