Epsom Debry weekend, Royal Ascot, and Glorious Goodwood are now in the rearview mirror and with the 2023 Flat season slowly drawing to a close, the York Ebor meeting in August acts as one of the final big summer racing meetings of the year.

To help you get ahead of the four-day event, here are some top tips to consider for the action taking place on the Knavesmire.

Day 1 – York Racing Tips: Juddmonte International

Unveiling the Best York Day 1 Tip

If all the market pretenders turn up in this year’s Juddmonte International, then we could be set for a classic renewal of the contest between young prospects and experienced superstars.

Despite the incredible depth this race could have, it’s hard not to look past Paddington at 6/4 who has been a world-beating star for Aidan O’Brien this season.

Why Our Tip for York Day 1 Stands Out

Following a gritty win in the Eclipse at Sandown, he showed a determined side to him following his Sussex Stakes victory at Goodwood, signifying his versatility over distance, ground, and course and will be looking to emulate the pathway forged by Giant’s Causeway later this month.

How To Use Our York Day 1 Tip to Your Advantage

Although it isn’t confirmed that he will head to the race, Paddington is a solid bet on the day if he turns up at anything above evens, but if you are worried about the potential performance of Mostahdaf, a reverse forecast could play to your advantage.

Day 2 – Winning Strategies for York Racing: Yorkshire Oaks

The Winning York Day 2 Tip

As long as she turns up, Emily Upjohn at 5/1 looks like a solid betting proposition in the Yorkshire Oaks on day two of the York Ebor meeting.

The Logic Behind Our York Day 2 Tip

Although the current favourite for the race is stablemate Soul Sister, the Oaks winner who will also receive nine pounds if both turn up, the four-year-old two-time Group 1 winner has great form in the book this season thanks to her defeat of Westover and second to Paddington.

If she can put her King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes disappointment behind her, she is the classiest filly in the race and could be tough to beat.

Putting Our York Day 2 Tip into Action

At this stage, 5/1 with William Hill looks as big as you will see for her and if she turns up to the race, she will be shorter in the market, so if you are happy backing her ante-post, then this looks like a great price.

Day 3 – Maximising Gains at York Races: Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe

Your Ultimate York Day 3 Tip

The Goodwood Cup earlier this month threw up a surprising result as Quickthorn went 15 lengths clear coming into the home straight and didn’t see another rival to win under Tom Marquand, and with roughly the same field set to line up for the Lonsdale Cup, the 6/1 price about him to do the same on the Knavesmire looks like a good bet.

Decoding Our York Day 4 Tip

Simply put, no other horse in the race can go at the same speed as him due to his mammoth stride length, and if anyone did try to keep up with the Hughie Morrison-trained six-year-old, they would likely be tailed off early into the race.

Although some of the jockeys behind will be hoping to not give Quickthorn too much of a lead, that may be tough to do and he has the ability to do the same at York as he did at Goodwood earlier this month.

Executing Your Day 3 Betting Plan

By Friday of the York Ebor meeting, you are halfway through and although the Lonsdale Cup is a great spectacle, the feature race of the day is the Coolmore Wooton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes.

One area to note for this race is that two-year-olds receive a big weight-for-age allowance against their older rivals, with juvenile fillies racing off just eight-stone and juvenile colts lumbered with three pounds more.

So, if recent Molecomb Stakes winner Big Evs is supplemented for the race by connections, he could take advantage of that against the likes of Highfield Princess and Bradsell.

Day 4 – Closing the York Racing Event Strong: Sky Bet Ebor

The Final Flourish: York Day 4 Tip

Finally, in the namesake race of the entire meeting, the Ebor Handicap, one horse that is guaranteed to get a run if connections are happy to send him there is Scriptwriter at 20/1 for Milton Harris.

The Strategy Behind Our York Day 4 Tip

Jumps trainers have a good record in staying handicaps on the Flat – as shown by Willie Mullins’ Vauban in the Copper Horse Stakes at Royal Ascot and Syd Hosie’s Temporize in the valuable handicap on day two of Glorious Goodwood – and off a mark of 106 for this Grade 1 winning hurdler, Harris could have a well-handicapped prospect.

The Ebor is always a tightly fought heat between the top and bottom of the handicap, so his official rating is workable and based on his second to Hamish, a subsequent Group 3 winner at Goodwood, last time out over course and distance, he should have a great chance at 20/1.

Making the Most of Your York Day 4 Bets

With four places available on the race with William Hill, an each-way bet is the best way to play Scriptwriter for the Ebor.

Understanding Key Factors in York Race Analysis

As a general rule, the Knavesmire is a fair track to bet at. Track conditions are kept to their most natural as possible, there is not much of an undulation to deal with, and draw bias tends to be less prominent than at other tracks, so the York Ebor meeting is usually a fair playing field.
