Improving sprinter has plenty going for him, while Richard Hills, pictured, is fancied to get the timing right on Last Three Minutes.
Those that raced close to the early pace were favoured in sprints at York yesterday and Master Of Disguise looks the ideal type to continue that trend in the Reg Griffin Memorial Trophy (3.10) on the Knavesmire today.
He again showed a high cruising speed when beating Noble Storm with plenty in hand at Sandown Park last time and that form could hardly be working out better, with the second, third and fifth all winning subsequently. The handicapper has reacted by raising Master Of Disguise by 11lb in the weights, but he is improving so quickly that he can prove up to the task.
Proclaim deserves top weight after his latest defeat of the useful Akhenaten at Doncaster but may prefer faster ground and bigger threats could come from Dark Mischief, who was unsuited by a slow early pace at Salisbury last time and Quanah Parker, who should appreciate dropping back in trip after a good second over seven furlongs here last time.
The Godolphin team is slowly hitting its stride and Sovereign Remedy is taken to land the Daniel Prenn Royal Yorkshire Stakes (3.45). The form of his debut second at Kempton Park has worked out well and Sovereign Remedy opened his account in determined fashion in a maiden at Nottingham last time. A son of Lailani, the Irish Oaks winner, he should relish this step up in trip and can make the most of a lenient handicap mark.
Mull Of Dubai was forced wide when well beaten at Chester last time but has a good record here and should go close in the Queen Mother's Cup (2.05), while Last Three Minutes showed an impressive turn of foot when winning at Lingfield Park last time and can handle a step up in class in the ladbrokes.com Stakes (2.35).
Brassini is fancied to take advantage of a falling mark in the Toteswinger Handicap (2.50) at Sandown Park. He shaped as though returning to form when fifth in a stronger race at Goodwood last time and, now 2lb lower in the weights than when winning over course and distance last July, looks ready to strike.
Bravo Echo was ill-served by a slow early gallop when a staying-on third over course and distance last time and, provided he is given a truer test of stamina, he can make amends in the Totescoop6 Handicap (2.20).
Noble Storm has a progressive profile and can gain a first success in listed company in the Agfa Healthcare Scurry Stakes (3.25). He showed excellent early speed when winning at Beverley last time, never looking like being caught, and from a plum draw against the far rail is likely to again be hard to peg back.
The best bet of the day is Lenny Bee (7.40) at Leicester. Despite finishing second on each occasion, he has shaped like the best horse in the race on his past two starts, being given too much to do at Kempton Park and just failing to last home when tried over farther at Ayr. Back to the minimum trip, he can gain a deserved success.
