York Ebor runners and riders
LIVE YOUR DREAM
Jockey: Oisin Murphy
Trainer: Saeed bin Suroor
DREAM on. Solid stayer who ran well at Royal Ascot before a convincing win over this trip at Newmarket. That’s pushed him further up the weights so a place is probably the best he can hope for.
ENEMY
Jockey: Christian Howarth
Trainer: Ian Williams
ENEMY fire. Has been held in Group contests and drops back into a handicap from a 3lb lower mark than his Saudi second in Feb. Stays but has struggled for a while.
SCRIPTWRITER
Most read in Horse Racing
Jockey: Clifford Lee
Trainer: Milton Harris
OFF Script. Better known as a hurdler, close second in the Group 3 Silver Cup here last time and stays well. Has talent but little high in the weights.
CEMHAAN
Jockey: Hollie Doyle
Trainer: George Baker
HAAN can’t. Last seen running a good third at Royal Ascot when this trip suited. Ground fine but a hefty 11lb higher than his last win.

TASHKHAN
Jockey: Ben Robinson
Trainer: Brian Ellison
CARRY Khan. Third in Silver Cup here in July before a poor effort in the Goodwood Cup. Has lots of stamina and handles any ground. Tall order off this mark.
YASHIN
Jockey: Shane Foley
Trainer: Jessica Harrington
YASHIN no keeper. Group 3 winner over this trip but didn’t fire at The Curragh last time. Yard respected but a bit high in the weights so will need a step forward.
OCEAN WIND
Jockey: Frederick Larson
Trainer: Roger Teal
WEAK Wind. Hasn’t won for almost three years but showed promise in a Sandown Listed contest before a poor effort at Goodwood. This track will suit but he needs to find his very best.
SUNCHART
Jockey: Oisin Orr
Trainer: Roger Teal
SUN down. Sole win at maiden level in 2019 and has shown best over shorter distances. Struggled at Naas last time and hard to fancy in this company.
ABSURDE
Jockey: Frankie Dettori
Trainer: Willie Mullins
AB fab. Hasn’t been with Willie Mullins long and was a close second in a Royal Ascot handicap over this trip on only Flat start for the yard. Is fit from hurdling and has Frankie on board so can’t be ignored despite his rising mark.
JACKINFBAR
Jockey: William Buick
Trainer: Willie Mullins
HIGH Bar. Was a Group 3 winner earlier in his career before a three-year absence and switch from Harry Dunlop to Willie Mullins. Has shown promise in two starts for the yard and this longer trip should help.
GET SHIRTY
Jockey: Daniel Tudhope
Trainer: David O'Meara
GET out. Has dropped to last winning mark and won at Royal Ascot over this trip last season. Has been out of sorts including here last time so is hard to fancy at present.
HMS PRESIDENT
Jockey: Rossa Ryan
Trainer: Alan King
HMS dependable. Honest stayer who has run three good races this season, winning at Newmarket over this trip before a cracker over 1m4f in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot. He’s creeping up the weights but will run his race and on the shortlist.
REAL DREAM
Jockey: Ryan Moore
Trainer: Sir Michael Stoute
REAL deal. Sir Michael Stoute has had this race in mind for this four-year-old all season and gave him an excellent sighter of York over 1m2f at the Dante meeting in May. He was just a length away and showed his liking for this trip with a smooth success at Ascot. A mark of 99 looks fair with more to come and Moore on board.
CAIUS CHORISTER
Jockey: Kyle Strydom
Trainer: David Menuisier
CAIUS unlocked. Hit and miss this season with 1m2f really not ideal at Goodwood last time. This distance will suit better and she looks a big each-way price with extra-place bookies.
SWEET WILLIAM
Jockey: Robert Havlin
Trainer: John & Thady Gosden
SWEET on him. Long-time favourite who impressed when winning over staying trips at Goodwood and Newbury. He has just a 4lb penalty for last success and has a lot more to come for the Gosdens. Mighty chance.
EUCHEN GLEN
Jockey: Paul Mulrennan
Trainer: Jim Goldie
GLEN bucked. More than 20 runs since a win and is 6lb lower than last year when he was beaten three lengths. Solid run at Goodwood last time but he’s 10 now and surely will find a few too good.
SCAMPI
Jockey: Jason Hart
Trainer: Andrew Balding
SCAMPI flies. Decent form around 1m4f and won on fast ground at the Dante meeting. He scored again nicely at Ascot last time and should stay at a track he likes. Shortlisted.
WICKYWICKYWHEELS
Jockey: Tadhg O'Shea
Trainer: Jim Goldie
ON my Wick. Hasn’t won since rejoining Jim Goldie and struggled in Listed last time. Stays but doesn’t look up to this level.
SARATOGA GOLD
Jockey: Tom Marquand
Trainer: Charles Hills
GOLD tarnished. Solid at lower levels but was held in weaker company at Sandown last time and needs a lot more.
BERKSHIRE ROCCO
Jockey: Callum Hutchinson
Trainer: Andrew Balding
ROCC on. Back to form stepped up to two miles at Ascot last time and is off the same mark here. First-time visor may help and he’s a Listed winner at best. No forlorn hope.
ADJUVANT
Jockey: Kevin Stott
Trainer: Michael Bell
AD a grower. Got within three lengths of Sweet William at Goodwood and is best over this trip. Yard is in decent form and he has an each-way shout.
POST IMPRESSIONIST
Jockey: Adam Farragher
Trainer: William Haggas
POST haste. Won on last visit here in October and stays well. Goes on any ground and solid claimer on board.
Templegate's tip
REAL DREAM can come true in the Sky Bet Ebor.
Sir Michael Stoute has aimed him at this race all season and he showed a liking for the track when third at the Dante meeting.
He matched that when scoring at Ascot latest and has more to come.
Sweet William is a fair favourite given how impressive he was at Newbury and Goodwood and he’ll be right there.

Willie Mullins runs two with Jackfinbar and Absurde both right in the each-way hunt.
HMS President and Scampi are gutsy stayers who complete the shortlist.
