York Tips: Horse Racing Predictions & Odds ITV Racing Friday
It's the third and final day of the York Dante meeting, and we end with the traditional closing feature race of the week, the Yorkshire Cup.
A first staying test of the season, this should be top class, and informative for the future, while there's some great supporting races alongside too.
Exclusive again to Free Bets I've made my pick and they're all for you below, to try and round off the week in style.
York Tips - Friday
My two tips below come with odds from betting sites so you can see how the markets are shaping up for the races, and they are all live as part of the ITV Racing coverage.
York 2:55pm - Regal Ulixes (EW)
Regal Ulixes caught the eye when getting no kind of run on the all weather last time out. Coming here is a big change for him, back on turf after four all weather runs, but I think he can go really well.
He was behind The Glen Rovers at Newcastle, who reopposes again here. But that doesn't tell the full picture.
Held up waiting for a run, Regal Ulixes finally switched and got out, before facing a horse come over him and carry him wider than he would have liked.
He would've been a lot closer that day, and I'm hoping this return to turf, where he's won twice already, is in his favour. At an each way price, he can go well.
- Recommendation: Regal Ulixes (EW)
York 4:05pm - Rahiebb (NAP)
I've got plenty of respect for Amiloc but I'm not convinced that staying sees the best of him. He can run over this kind of trip, as we saw in the Irish St Leger last year, but it's not where he excels.
This is going to be a test, and for that reason, I'll pass him over in favour of a horse that will stay this trip well, and could get further in time, and that is Rahiebb.
He needs a bit of cut in the ground, the softer the better, and his second in the St Leger at Doncaster last year shows just what he can do when the going is softer.
He should've ran last week at Chester, but was pulled out as the ground was too quick. Let's hope the rain we've seen on TV at York has got into the ground for him.
If it has, for me it only enhances his chances, while making it even tougher for Amiloc to stay the trip.
- Recommendation: Rahiebb (NAP)
