Wednesday: Bear Lee and Shes Got A Brother at York


Posted: 16.27 • 18 Aug 2026 • Racing


The York Ebor meeting starts on Wednesday and we send two fillies to the Knavesmire where there's plenty of prizemoney on offer.

Shes Got A Brother started her career in style with two all weather wins and she's been running creditably on turf since. A 100,00 guineas purchase as a juvenile, the daughter of Havana Grey lines up for the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Handicap where Joanna Mason will ride her for the first time.

The £50,000 on offer to the winner has attracted a good field, and the favourite looks to be Naana's Shadow, also sired by Havana Grey, who bids to follow up her Glorious Goodwood win. Shes Got A Brother was eight and three quarter lengths behind her rival that day but reopposes the winner on 11 pound better terms, and carries some 18 pounds less than Naana's Shadow.
Bear Lee runs in the Sky Bet Nursery Handicap which closes Wednesday's card. She was a winner at Musselburgh before finishing a creditable course and distance fourth last time, and here she makes her handicap debut.

With £50,000 on offer to the winner this is a much better race, and yet another Havana Grey runner, Havana Sprite, may be the one to beat here as she chases a four timer. She was entered for the Group 2 Lowther Stakes but connections have opted for this race instead.
