The four-day meeting – often dubbed the Royal Ascot of the north – is one of the highlights of the Flat season and the quality of racing this year looks as strong as ever. The Group One Juddmonte International is the day one highlight with Coral Eclipse hero Delacroix facing a truly global challenge. Japanese ace Danon Decile has been heavily backed, while French raider Daryz is unbeaten in four races.
The Group Two Great Voltigeur Stakes, also on day one, is a crucial trial for the St Leger and could see the unbeaten Amiloc lock horns with Merchant and Irish star Carmers. Fillies take centre stage on Thursday in the Group One Yorkshire Oaks where Minnie Hauk is expected to put her reputation on the line.

Yorkshire-trained Estrange will be hoping for some rain to allow her to take her chance. The speedsters will thunder down the Knavesmire in the Nunthorpe Stakes, which is Friday's Group One highlight. It looks a wide-open race this year and is a cracking betting race. The Sky Bet Ebor itself is the feature on day four and Willie Mullins' Hipop De Loire is the solid ante-post favourite.
