Back a horse by clicking their odds.
(NO ALIBI Pontefract 3.42, nap).
The sun should be shining at Ponte Carlo which is good news for this improving filly who has shown a liking for quick conditions. Paddy Twomey is one of Ireland's most consistent trainers and he started this two-year-old at The Curragh where she was a close-up second on debut in April. She more than matched that form when getting off the mark at Cork a month later before a smooth success at Limerick last time when staying this distance strongly. It's a bit of a leap from there into Listed company but she's clearly going the right way.
DIVOT (4.52 Southwell, nb)
Was a close-up second over this trip last time when probably held up for too long. Hopefully Saffie Osborne has learned from that run and can keep him a little closer to the pace. He's certainly good enough to take this.
ULTRASOUL (3.22 Southwell, treble)
Ran a cracking second on return from eight months off at Lingfield in a first-time hood. This step up in trip looks a wise move.
SAXONIA (3.12 Pontefract, Lucky 15)
Comes here in form with a Newmarket win this season and a Wolverhampton near-miss last time. This track should suit his positive style and Billy Loughnane's on again.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Bet £10 get £50 in free bets for racing with Tote - CLAIM HERE York Ebor Festival best free bet offers - CLICK HERE REMMOOZ (3.00 York, nap) Owen Burrows has a smart prospect on his hands in this son of Blue Point who was an impressive winner over course and distance last time out. There were a couple of today's rivals behind him that, including Sisyphean who has each-way claims again. Kevin Stott's mount enjoyed the quick ground there and that was just his handicap debut so there should be more to come. A 4lb rise in the weights is more than fair and his stall 11 draw should be fine in this big field. RAINBOWS EDGE (4.10 York, nb) She has gone close a couple of times at Listed level and this is a great winning chance. She took a fast-ground handicap over a mile at Ascot in May and proved that was no fluke when denied only a neck over 1m2f in a stronger race than this here last month. That form looks rock solid and today's extra furlong looks within reach given how she stuck on that day. The Gosden filly is unexposed at 1m4f, and boasts the right blend of class and tactical speed for a race expected to be run at a strong pace. BONUS TIME (5.20 York, treble) She scored nicely at Naas last time on the back of a good effort at Leopardstown and The Curragh. There's more to come and this track and trip should be ideal. Templegate's TV verdicts YORK 1.50 ROYAL FIXATION can swoop late to land the Lowther. She surged home for second in the Duchess of Cambridge at Newmarket on just her second start, clocking a smart speed figure and shaping like a filly with loads more to come. With plenty of pace likely and fast ground to suit, this should fall nicely for her. America Queen looked electric on debut at Haydock and she's a big threat on this major rise in class. Staya also caught the eye finishing fast in a strong Group 3 at Ascot and will be running on late. Argentine Tango is hard as nails, already a Listed winner and second in the Molecomb so has place claims. Dandana is unbeaten and progressive but untested at this level, while Wor Faayth is thriving but needs more after a French Listed win. Pearl Fortune, Timeforshowcasing and Secret Hideaway all step into deeper waters here too so need to improve plenty. 2.25 GOLDEN BROWN was really unlucky in a hot contest at Godowood last time. He was knocked sideways inside the final quarter-mile before keeping on. He's unexposed, back on quicker ground and this stronger pace should suit. Tadej sets the standard after winning a French Group 3 and remains unbeaten at 6f, but he'll have to be at his best to take this from the front. Anthelia has already landed the Super Sprint at Newbury and a Listed prize. She's tough and progressive, though all her wins are at 5f. Song Of The Clyde is progressive and has place claims. Raakeb ran with credit in the Superlative at Newmarket and is best over this trip so is on the shortlist too. Ardisia is thriving and well suited to this likely fast-run 6f, but will need luck from his draw and usual tardy start. Kamakameleon was fifth in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and shouldn't be underestimated. 3.00 REMMOOZ looked a Group horse in the making when winning on handicap debut over course and distance last time. He saw off a few of today's rivals with a bit left in the tank. Owen Burrows will conjure more improvement from him even from a mark of 102. Big dangers include Bullet Point, who's in peak form and rarely runs a bad race. He was narrowly denied in a red-hot contest at Ascot last time and will likely force the pace again from a low draw. Apiarist shaped better than the bare result in a big-field Galway handicap and is a player back on faster ground. Urban Lion has improved steadily this term and was a close third in a strong Ascot contest last time. He stays 1m well and has form at the track. Old Cock, Northern Express and Sisyphean are all proven here and not discounted for a place. 3.35 MINNIE HAUK is the clear standout in this small but classy renewal of the Yorkshire Oaks. Unbeaten this season and already a dual Oaks winner, she's been dominant over this trip and shaped as though there was plenty in the tank when grinding out victory in the Irish Oaks last month. Conditions are ideal - she's handled everything from soft to good - and her tactical speed combined with staying power make her a nightmare to peg back. Estrange has done little wrong, also unbeaten this term, but her only defeat came on firm ground and that lingers as a slight concern unless the track catches a shower or two. She should run another decent race. Garden Of Eden wasn't at her best in Germany last time so has something to prove after that and may find this sharpish 1m4f a tad on the quick side. Qilin Queen has been well placed this season and made all in a French Group 2 last time, but faces a serious class hike now. She will have to take a major step forward to figure in this. 4.10 RAINBOWS EDGE has gone close a couple of times at Listed level and this is a great winning chance. She took a fast-ground handicap over a mile at Ascot in May and proved that was no fluke when denied only a neck over 1m2f in a stronger race than this here last month. That form looks rock solid and today's extra furlong looks within reach given how she stuck on that day. The Gosden filly is unexposed at 1m4f, and boasts the right blend of class and tactical speed for a race expected to be run at a strong pace. She can confirm form with Charlotte's Web on their clash here with the Crisford runner looking the main threat again. Karmology and Alice Monet are in-form dangers, while the lightly raced Aeolian is open to further progress at this trip. At bigger odds, Lady Vivian could bounce back returned to a calmer grade and stamina test after a decent effort at Group 2 level last time.

William Buick guides Ombudsman to Godolphin glory at York despite almighty scare
Drama and uncertainty: they are at the heart of the best sporting thrillers, whether a ball is being kicked, a club is being swung or a horse is being ridden. Crowds love a cliffhanger, they invest emotionally when time ticks away, and how they were absorbed at York, one of racing's greatest stages. The £1.3m Juddmonte International, its flagship race of the year, never disappoints and the latest renewal left the towering grandstands humming. Ombudsman, the 7/4 favourite, came out on top but that tells you only a fraction of what happened over a mile-and-a-quarter and two minutes and seven seconds of unrelenting drama. For a significant proportion of this championship event, it seemed as if one of the greatest shocks ever might unfold. Birr Castle, trained in France by Andre Fabre, was supplemented for the race last Thursday at a cost of £80,000 by Ombudsman's owners Godolphin. The intention was to set an honest pace and that's why he was sent off at odds of 150/1. But when the field turned for home, Birr Castle was skipping along in splendid isolation and, all of sudden, you began to wonder whether a shock even bigger than the one at Glorious Goodwood, when Qirat won the Sussex Stakes was about to unfold. There were gasps when, with 500 yards to run, Birr Castle was still clear but then Ombudsman did what only the truly exceptional racehorses can do and shot clear with an electrifying turn of foot. One moment stage, he was six lengths behind; the next he was three lengths clear. 'Andre said to me: 'I would like the same result as Goodwood' and, you know, I thought his request was going to come true,' said John Gosden, who trains Ombudsman with his son, Thady. 'But when William (Buick, jockey) let him go, he absolutely flew. He's a very, very good horse. 'He went from second gear to fifth gear, just like that. He has taken it away from Delacroix, the runner-up, and turned things around after the Coral-Eclipse, where Delacroix had beaten us. I'm just going to have call Andre and tell him he frightened the living daylights out of us!' The drama did not stop there, though, as it was sobering to see Lambourn, the dual-Derby winner being beaten so emphatically in the SkyBet Great Voltiguer Stakes. Victory went to Pride Of Arras, trained by Ralph Beckett, who improved after significant operation in July. 'We had to geld him,' said Beckett, who has dreams of running Pride Of Arras in the Breeders Cup Turf in November. 'The game's gone as far as him being a stallion but he's now back to where we hoped he'd be.'
