Overview

• Day three at York features the Group 1 Nunthorpe alongside the Lonsdale Cup and the Gimcrack Stakes, framing a high-class sprint‑to‑staying programme.
• talkSPORT’s recommended bets are 13:50 Marhaba The Champ at 28/1, 15:00 Do Or Do Not at 7/4, and 16:45 New Monarch at 9/2.
• Marhaba The Champ is picked for the opening 1m4f handicap on the strength of a past win in this race, a recent Doncaster second, plus a first start for Sophie Leech.
• Do Or Do Not, trained by Ed Walker, is tipped off consistent Group form with placings in the Coventry, July Stakes, and Vintage Stakes, with that Goodwood line boosted since.
• New Monarch is selected to improve over 7f based on strong finishes at 6f, a pedigree that stays further, plus current form from the Andrew Balding yard.
