Overview

• The four-day meeting runs Wednesday to Saturday at York, featuring Group 1 contests the Juddmonte International and the Nunthorpe, with the Sky Bet Ebor heritage handicap slated after the City of York Stakes on Saturday.
• Market updates report 22 runners for this year’s Ebor, with Willie Mullins’ Hipop De Loire leading the early betting ahead of stablemate Ethical Diamond, and mentions for Aidan O’Brien’s London City and John & Thady Gosden’s French Master.
• Racing Post tipsters tout Ascending at around 25-1 for the Ebor, calling the Henry de Bromhead runner undervalued off his Ascot Stakes victory and a small rise in the weights.
• For the week’s Group 1s, previews point to See The Fire—unbeaten at York after a 12-length Middleton win—for the Juddmonte International, and highlight local sprinter Jm Jungle as a leading Nunthorpe hope after wins in the Epsom Dash and the Goodwood Group 2.
• Bookmakers launch festival sign-up deals, with Sky Bet advertising a “Bet £10, get £50 in free bets” horse racing offer and additional packages listed by The Sun from Tote, Betfred, William Hill, Coral, BetMGM, talkSPORT BET, 7Bet and Midnite.
