Sweet William To Back Up Glorious Goodwood Victory With Ebor Handicap Triumph
The Gosden’s send their impressive four-year-old SWEET WILLIAM over to York in a bid to claim the most valuable flat race Europe – the Ebor Handicap.
It is fair to say that the Irish gelding is the one to beat here, given his recent emphatic win at Glorious Goodwood last time out. All of the leading horse racing betting sites in the UK have Sweet William as the outright betting favourite to romp home and win the York showpiece at 3:35pm on Saturday afternoon.
You simply cannot ignore the manner in which Sweet William won the Coral Summer Handicap at Goodwood last time out. He absolutely romped home, winning by 2 3/4 lengths, even after a dwelt start. He is an extremely versatile sort, and here at SportsLens we can see him winning this and automatically qualifying for the Melbourne Cup.
The four-year-old comes here fresh off the back of a hat-trick of wins. This of course includes an emphatic win at Glorious Goodwood a few weeks ago, as well as a win at Newbury and Doncaster in July at a canter. The gelding is proven over this distance too, as we saw at Goodwood in the Summer Handicap.
Sweet William is down 4lb from his last run, carrying 9st 2lb on Saturday afternoon in the Ebor Handicap. He has shown that he can perform well on all sorts of ground, winning on heavy, good, firm and standard ground. The going is currently good to firm at York, which will play into Sweet William’s hands.
Absurde and Real Dream are Sweet William’s nearest challengers, priced at 15/2 and 8/1 respectively with the best horse racing betting apps. However, this race favours the Normandie Stud Ltd owned gelding, with the Willie Mullins runner giving Sweet William 5lb in weight.
It is worth keeping an eye on SCAMPI as a potential each-way shout at odds of 12/1 with the best cash-out betting sites. He fits the trends for the Ebor, and runs off a nice weight of 8st 13lbs. He also won at Ascot last time out in the Shergar Cup, beating Wootton’Sun who is a more than capable horse.
This is sure to be a sensational showing of the 2023 Ebor Handicap, and here at SportsLens we really like the chances of the favourite – Sweet William.
