Top Horses to Follow on Day 3 of Ebor Festival
NAP of the Day (14:25) - Point Lonsdale
Our NAP of the Day for the third day of the York Ebor Festival, Point Lonsdale was a promising winner at Chester, this horse wasn't outclassed in Group 1 company. With a longer trip to his advantage, he's a strong contender. Given the recent success of Ryan Moore and Aidan O'Brien, he's a likely winner.

Busby
J: Aiden Brookes
T: P A Kirby
Age: 10
Weight: 9-9
Days: 23
This 10 year old hasn't shown any signs of declining just yet and is actually in a high level of form at the moment.
He has finished second in his last three runs but tonight looks a chance for him to notch up what would be his fifth victory over this course and distance.
HIs trainer Philip Kirby also has his horses in great order of late with the yard in flying form (33% strike rate during the past two weeks).

Win Double - Point Lonsdale (2.25 York) & The Strikin Viking (3.00 York) both to win
The Strikin Viking is a proven performer over this course and distance, with impressive past results. He's a strong contender based on his recent form.
Point Lonsdale has demonstrated exceptional talent, winning easily at Chester and performing well in Group 1 races. With a longer distance to his advantage, he's another top pick, especially considering the winning streak of his jockey and trainer.
Dark Horse (16:10) - Ambiente Amigo
Previously competing in top-tier races, Ambiente Amigo is likely to benefit from a drop in class. Despite not winning recently, she has performed well and offers value at a high odds. With Rossa Ryan riding for the first time, she could surprise.
