Matt Chapman York Ebor Festival Day 4 Tips (Saturday, 26th August 23)
1:50pm – Sky Bet & Symphony Group Strensall Stakes Group 3 1m1f ITV: NOSTRUM @ EVS with BetUK
The first race for the Saturday Matt Chapman York Ebor Festival tips sees him back the outright favourite Nostrum in the 1.50pm for trainer Sir Michael Stoute. Here is what he had to say in his Paddy Power blog about Nostrum’s chances:
“There’s a very good chance we didn’t see the real Nostrum at Glorious Goodwood and I have no problem at all giving him another chance here.
“The Sir Michael Stoute-trained inmate just didn’t finish off his race in the Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes and was picked off by strong stayer Epictetus. However, for much of the race he looked a good thing and he can bounce back for Ryan Moore.”
2:25pm – Sky Bet Melrose Stakes Heritage Handicap 1m6f ITV: VAGUELY ROYAL @ 17/2 with BetUK
Matt Chapman’s second tip on Saturday at York sees him back Vaguely Royal in the 2:25pm as a 17/2 outsider with the best horse racing betting apps. ‘Chappers’ said this in his Paddy Power blog:
“I’ll chance Vaguely Royal for the Stradivarius team of owner Bjorn Nielsen and trainers John and Thady Gosden. The son of Galileo has been a relatively short price in all four starts and landed odds of 4/7 in a maiden at Doncaster last time.
“That took his rating from 85 to 87 so it wasn’t an incredible performance, but he promises to be much better stepping up to this trip. Robert Havlin is on top.”
3:00pm – Sky Bet City of York Stakes Group 2 7f ITV: SACRED @ 4/1 with BetUK
Next up for Matt Chapman is Sacred in the City of York Stakes – currently priced at 4/1 with the best horse racing betting sites. The ITV Racing pundit is confident his selection can triumph in this seven furlong race:
“Huge pot up for grabs in the Group 2 City of York Stakes over seven furlongs. A decent renewal with plenty of pace to suit a closer. For that reason I’m all over Sacred for William Haggas and Tom Marquand who have had a good week.
“The daughter of Exceed and Excel has always had plenty of talent and once ran in the 1000 Guineas behind Mother Earth. As it happens, seven furlongs on fast ground is her ideal trip and with this big field she can cruise behind the pace and come through late.”
3:35pm – Sky Bet Ebor Heritage Handicap 1m6f ITV: TASHKHAN (e/w) @ 22/1 with BetUK
Matt Chapman’s fourth selection on Saturday at York comes in the big one – the featured race of the entire York Ebor Festival – the Ebor Handicap. ‘Chappers’ is taking on the favourite and is backing Tashkhan each-way at 22/1 with the best handicap betting sites.
“Tashkhan hardly ever races on ground as fast as this and it’s a leap of faith whether he will act on the surface or not as he’s been a non runner twice on good to firm recently. However, he’s now in a handicap off 106 having spent most of his career in Group races including when fifth behind Kyprios in the Ascot Gold Cup when on a mark of 115.
“A fast gallop at this trip will be ideal for this often closing style and he’s a massive price for a horse with his ability. Obviously we need to get lucky, but at the odds I’ll chance him each-way at 22/1.”
4:10pm – Sky Bet Constantine Stakes Heritage Handicap 6f ITV: FRESH (e/w) @ 12/1 with BetUK
The fifth and final Matt Chapman York Ebor Festival Day 3 tip on Saturday sees him Fresh each-way. Here is what he had to say about his selection’s chances in the 4:10pm race at York over six furlongs:
“Fresh has not been at his best this term but he still ran a cracking fifth in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and he must have each-way claims for James Fanshawe and Oisin Orr. He’s dropped from 103 to 101 this term which just gives him a little chance and I like the fact he stays a bit further than this.
“Some of his best form is with juice in the ground but he won the International at Ascot on a fast surface so he seems to go on anything.”
