The Ebor Festival reaches its climax today, presenting an array of challenges on the Knavesmire. Key contenders emerge as the races unfold, with Damysus aiming to impress yet again. Notably, RIDARI stands out as a potential surprise at 16/1 after joining George Scott’s stable.

• RIDARI:
  • First run since joining Scott’s yard.
  • Strong record on slow ground with two wins from three.
  • Good draw in stall two and freshened up after 70 days.
  • Recommended bet: 1pt each-way @ 16/1 (bet365)

The Melrose race promises intensity with Infraad leading the market. LIMESTONE, paired with Ryan Moore and trained by Joseph O’Brien, is another highlight. After triumphing in the Group 2 Queen’s Vase, he returns to handicap after a less effective outing in France.

• LIMESTONE:
  • Well-treated and capable of handling slow ground.
  • Suggested bet: 2pts win @ 9/2 (Unibet)

In the next race, concerns arise for favorite Notable Speech if the ground remains soft. TEN BOB TONY, who previously won the Queen Anne at 50/1, shows promise on slower ground.

• TEN BOB TONY:
  • Solid each-way option at 8/1 with three places available (Ladbrokes)

Lastly, MR HOLLYWOOD represents Willie Mullins and could excel in staying trips. While Love Me Tender is unproven at longer distances, MR HOLLYWOOD is on a competitive mark and has shown class.

• Suggested bet: 14/1 each-way available on betting apps.
