York Ebor Festival Day Three Preview 2024

13:50 SkyBet Handicap - Shadow Dance

Can put a line through his penultimate run at Royal Ascot as he certainly bounced backed with a decent 2nd last time out.

14:25 Weatherbys Lonsdale Cup (Group 2) - Point Lonsdale

Was a very, very easy winner when impressing at Chester and wasn't disgraced in Group 1 company in France.

15:00 Al Basti Equiworld Gimcrack Stakes (Group 2) - The Strikin Viking

Was an impressive winner over this course and distance when making his debut so he's shown he can handle a track like York.

15:35 Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes (Group 1) - Starlust

The current favourite looks strong but is probably worth taking on especially in what looks an open Nunthorpe this year.

16:10 Assured Data Protection Handicap - Ambiente Amigo

Has been seen running in Class 1 events so she should appreciate the drop in grade here.

4.45 - EBF Convivial Maiden Stakes - Ultrasoul

Despite stepping up in Class here this well bred colt should have a massive part to play now going over 7 furlongs.

17.20 - Sky Bet Mile Handicap - Paborus

Has been off the track for 95 days but that wouldn't be a worry as I doubt he'd not be fully tuned up for this big handicap at York.
