Tom Stanley is here to guide you through the final day at York…
More profit on day 1 than day 2 built still a few winners found.
Friday’s action kicks off with the Nunthorpe and Saturday’s highlight is the Ebor.
Bear in mind Ebor selections were made prior to the draw so confidence couldn’t be too high.

13:50 Saturday – Strensall Stakes
Mighty Ulysses is the one to beat and Charlie and Deasy don’t want to oppose. Neither do I necessarily but can make the case for Masakela back in trip.
- Tom – Masekela
- Charlie – Mighty Ulysses
- Deasy – Mighty Ulysses
14:25 Saturday – Melrose Handicap
Soulcombe, for me, who was unlucky last time and looks made for this. Two on side for Deasy in a typically open renewal.
- Tom – Soulcombe
- Charlie – No bet
- Deasy – Nusret, Al Nafir
15:00 Saturday – City Of York Stakes
This looks tough and three different selections but the one consensus is Sacred is a place lay.
- Tom – Al Suhail
- Charlie – Kinross
- Deasy – Rohaan
15:35 Saturday – Ebor Handicap
No draw prior to making selections, but I’ll chance Candleford back at a more conventional track. Charlie is with stable companion Gaassee whilst Deasy is with the Irish.
- Tom – Candleford
- Charlie – Gaassee (w/p)
- Deasy – Ever Present, Shanroe
16:10 Saturday – Constantine Handicap
Early prices indicate Chairmanoftheboard is too big for Deasy whilst I’m with the progressive Spangled Mac. Both look to be drawn the right side.
- Tom – Spangled Mac
- Charlie – No bet
- Deasy – Chairmanoftheboard (NR)

15:35 Friday – Nunthorpe Stakes Group 1
Royal Aclaim for me, but the other 2 are against and have her as a lay. Flotus impressed Charlie last time whilst Deasy thinks Dragon Symbol is the one at the prices.
- Tom – Royal Aclaim
- Charlie – Flotus
- Deasy – Dragon Symbol (w/p)
13:50 Friday – 1m4f Heritage Handicap
A couple on side for Deasy win and place. Charlie likes Charging Thunder for the yard who won the feature handicap yesterday. I agree but main fancy is the unexposed Mahrajaan.
- Tom – Mahrajaan
- Charlie – Charging Thunder (w/p)
- Deasy – Farhan, Parachute (both w/p)
14:25 Friday – Lonsdale Cup Stakes
Trueshan is the team steam and the ground should be fine. It’s not as rapid as expected. I also like Quickthorn at the prices.
- Tom – Trueshan (NR) / Quickthorn
- Charlie – Trueshan (NR)
- Deasy – Trueshan (NR)
15:00 Friday – Gimcrack Stakes
I’m taking a chance on Chuzzlewit who I’ve heard is considered a real talent. Charlie likes Clearpoint win and place whilst Deasy is most confident of all of us with Marshman.
- Tom – Chuzzlewit
- Charlie – Clearpoint (w/p)
- Deasy – Marshman
16:10 Friday – EBF Fillies’ Handicap
I’m chancing the two outsiders of the field. Amanzoe for Charlie whilst State Occasion is in great form and will do for Deasy.
- Tom – Yorkshire Lad, The Flying Ginger
- Charlie – Amanzoe
- Deasy – State Occasion
Any Other Friday Bets
- Tom – No bet
- Charlie – No bet
- Deasy – Desert Order (16:45)
Best Friday Lays
- Tom – No lay
- Charlie – Lay Royal Acclaim at 2.5 or less (15:35)
- Deasy – Lay Royal Acclaim at 2.5 or less (15:35)
Best Friday Bets
- Tom – Trueshan NR (14:25)
- Charlie – Trueshan NR (14:25)
- Deasy – Trueshan NR (14:25)
Best of luck!
