Overview

• The Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes (3.35) leads Friday’s action, with Arizona Blaze installed as clear favourite after his Sapphire Stakes win and strong Royal Ascot effort.
• Juvenile Lady Iman commands weight allowances and interest, though several previews advise siding with proven sprinters over the two-year-olds.
• The Lonsdale Cup and the Gimcrack support the feature, with Do Or Do Not widely viewed as the standard-setter for the 6f Group 2 despite remaining a maiden.
• Betting content is front and centre, with detailed Placepot and World Pool permutations published and bookmaker sign-up offers such as Sky Bet’s bet £10 get £50 promotion.
• Focus shifts to Saturday’s finale, where the near-£500,000 Sky Bet Ebor and the newly promoted Group 1 City of York Stakes headline, with Shadow Dance a popular Ebor pick and £377,122 to the City of York winner.
