3.40 YORK: Sky Bet Ebor Handicap
KING’S ADVICE can add the Ebor to his ever-growing roll of honour.
With this race getting classier and classier, horses with higher weights seem to be winning it these days. Muntahaa shouldered 9st 9lb to victory last year so they all have a chance.
Horses older than six have had a hard time so Max Dynamite, Red Galileo and Barsanti may struggle.
At the other end of the spectrum, four-year-old's have a poor record and we can overlook Mekong, Making Miracles, Baghdad, Ben Vrackie, Dramatic Queen, Raymond Tusk and Wells Farhh Go.
This may be a long distance race but the draw is crucial. Eight of the past 10 winners were in stall 15 or higher, with only one victor from single-figures.

So Cleonte, Mustajeer, True Self, Withhold, The Grand Visir and Raheen House may struggle from their low stalls.
Finishing in the first three last time out has been an important stat so Weekender, Prince Of Arran and Desert Skyline fall by the wayside.
So we’re down to just three — Red Verdon, King’s Advice and Kelly’s Dino.
From that trio, it’s hard to get away from KING’S ADVICE.
He’s improving rapidly for Mark Johnston and showed brilliant battling qualities to win at Glorious Goodwood last time out.
