Ebor Preview



Leading ante-post fancies Lost In The Moment and Saptapadi remain among the entries for the Betfred Ebor at York on Saturday.

Lost In The Moment was only narrowly denied by fellow Godolphin inmate Opinion Poll in the Goodwood Cup on his latest start and drops to handicap company.


The same comment applies to Brian Ellison's Saptapadi, who shaped with huge promise when fifth in the Sky Bet York Stakes last time.

Both horses will carry 9st 5lb if they take their chance, with Mark Johnston's Fox Hunt currently heading the weights. There are no major absentees following the latest entry stage, with the likes of Modun, Blissful Moment and Tactician all still in the reckoning.

Woolfall Treasure is the 20th horse in the list and therefore the final horse guaranteed a run. The likes of Northumberland Plate winner Tominator, Michael Bell's Activate and Zuider Zee from the John Gosden yard all need withdrawals to make the cut.
