Matt Chapman York Ebor Festival Day 3 Tips (Friday, 25th August 23)

1:50pm – Sky Bet Stakes Heritage Handicap 1m4f ITV: CAPTAIN THEORY (e/w) @ 25/1 with BetUK

The first race for the Friday Matt Chapman York Ebor Festival tips sees him back Captain Theory each-way in the 1.50pm for trainer Charlie Johnston.

Captain Theory has been banging his head against the wall since scoring at Chelmsford a few runs ago and has been beaten off a mark of 88 on his last four starts. That said, he’s been running well in defeat and stays this trip in style.

He’s dropped 2lb now to 86, his Chelmsford winning mark, and should have an each-way chance for Charlie Johnston, Dr Jim Walker and Andrea Atzeni who is riding out of his skin.

2:25pm – Weatherbys Hamilton Lonsdale Cup (British Champions Series Race) Group 2 2m ITV: COLTRANE @ 5/2 with BetUK

Matt Chapman’s second tip on Friday at York sees him back the popular Coltrane in the 2:25pm as the 5/2 outright favourite with the best horse racing betting apps.

Surely they won’t let Quickthorn get away again like at Goodwood? Coltrane was third at the Sussex venue in the Goodwood Cup and chased home Courage Mon Ami in the Ascot Gold Cup.

The Sagaro winner is a very solid performer and was second to Quickthorn in this last year. He was rated 113 then and is now 117 suggesting improvement. Oisin Murphy is on top at usual.

3:00pm – Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes Group 2 6f ITV: JOHANNES BRAHMS @ 9/4 with BetUK

Next up for Matt Chapman is Johnannes Brahms in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes. Ryan Moore is given the ride here on the Aidan O’Brien trained horse, priced at 9/4 with the best horse racing betting sites.

Johannes Brahms has not been seen since Royal Ascot when he chased home Big Evs in the Windsor Castle Stakes. The son of Siyouni stayed on well that day suggesting this extra furlong will be ideal and he should go very close under Ryan Moore for Aidan O’Brien.

3:35pm – Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes Group 1 5f ITV: HIGHFIELD PRINCESS @ 6/4 with BetUK

Matt Chapman’s fourth selection on Friday at York comes in the big one – the Nunthorpe Stakes. ‘Chappers’ is going with the impressive favourite and is backing Highfield Princess at 6/4 with the best handicap betting sites.

On all we know this is between Highfield Princess and Bradsell and Chapman see no reason why last year’s heroine won’t go in again. There was a length between the pair with the latter defeated Chapman’s selection in the King’s Stand at Royal Ascot, but Highfield Princess was a little unlucky and can easily reverse that form on a course she loves.

She was brilliant at Glorious Goodwood and is a credit to John Quinn and jockey Jason Hart.

4:10pm – Assured Data Protection EBF Fillies’ Stakes Heritage Handicap 1m2f ITV: YOUNGEST (e/w) @ 8/1 with BetUK

The fifth and final Matt Chapman York Ebor Festival Day 3 tip on Friday sees him back the Roger Varian-trained hopeful each-way –  Youngest.

Youngest was a bit of an eye-catcher at Glorious Goodwood when a few places behind Rawayeh who was third to Choisya. The Roger Varian runner was never placed to challenge on that occasion but ran like a horse who would enjoy stepping up two furlongs in distance which happens today.
