Our acca for the opening day of the Ebor Festival includes a selection in the Group One Juddmonte International. Back this 3-leg ITV accumulator for Wednesday:
The ITV coverage kicks off with a competitive handicap over an extended five furlongs on Wednesday.
Kevin Ryan-trained Begerac could have interesting claims at a bigger price with Tom Eaves booked to take the ride.
The seven-year-old typically saves his best runs for York, finishing second over five furlongs at the track at the end of May.
He is a winner over course and distance and was beaten just two lengths in a red-hot renewal of this race 12 months ago. Likely to give his running from a prominent draw.
Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore teamed up for the winner of the Group Three Acomb Stakes last year, and history could repeat itself on Wednesday.
Italy appears to have a fair bit in hand based on RPRs, and looks good value to come on from his recent second in the Group Two Superlative Stakes when beaten a length by Saba Desert.
The two-year-old was a winner on debut over seven furlongs at Leopardstown in May, and it’s clear that he appears to be the one to beat.
Lambourn looks hard to oppose in the Group Two Great Voltigeur Stakes for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore.
The three-year-old was a clear-cut winner of the Group One Epsom Derby in June, before impressing once again on his latest start when holding off Serious Contender to land the Group One Irish Derby.
Has bags of stamina on his pedigree, and something will need to improve immeasurably to get the better of the standout three-year-old this season on Wednesday.
The Aidan O’Brien/Ryan Moore treble on day one of the Ebor Festival could be seen out by Delacroix in the Group One Juddmonte International.
The three-year-old got the better of Ombudsman in the Group One Eclipse Stakes when last seen in July, putting his disappointing effort in the Derby firmly in the rear view mirror.
Has won on all three career starts over a mile and two, and still looks to be improving. Importantly, he has a 7lb pull at the weights over the reappearing Ombudsman and Japanese raider Danon Decile.
ITV’s coverage on Wednesday concludes with a stayers’ handicap over an extended two miles.
Align The Stars could be a logical answer for the in-form Charlie Johnston yard. The four-year-old failed to see out two miles and four at Goodwood at the start of the month, but looks to have plenty in his favour on his return to two miles.
Was beaten by Caballo De Mar at Haydock over two miles earlier this season, but gets a better chance at the weights on Wednesday.
Looked like a potential high-quality stayer last season, and handles York well after finishing just a length behind London City in a handicap at the track last May. Should have each-way claims.
Coverage begins at 13:30 on ITV1 and ITVX. Live races today include:
