WITH York’s biggest fixture of the season taking place next week, I’ve tried to dig out a few runners who might offer a bit of ante-post value for punters, with the intention of finding an overpriced selection on each of the four days of the Knavesmire spectacular. The weather looks set fair for the week in God’s Own County as the locals like to think of it, and I am expecting good or quicker ground for the entire fixture. Because long-range weather forecasts are never wrong, are they?
