Hi all,
Today’s selections are from day one of York’s Ebor Festival.
York
2:25 – Ballymount Boy – 2/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The colt had finished a 1 length runner-up to Vandeek, Sunday’s Prix Morny winner, in a Group 2 at Goodwood last time. That form is much stronger now than it looked at the time and although he faces five unexposed rivals he should win if reproducing his Goodwood performance.
3:35 – Mostahdaf – 11/4 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Will be ridden to make use of his turn of foot. The 5-year-old improved to win the Group 1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot last time and a subsequent 63 day layoff is a plus as he’s 6 from 6 when returning from a 58+ day absence. The drier the ground the better his chance and although Paddington looks special, I think today he could be beaten.
Cheers
John
