The big race at York tomorrow is the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at 3.40.
Hoof It with 4 wins from his last 5 races is the likely favourite. Having won the Stewards’ Cup off a big weight he needs to transfer that form in Group 1 company. He has won at York 3 times and has plenty of winning from in big fields. Prohibit won the Group 1 Kings Stand at Ascot and should be suited by the strong pace. Bated Breath is progressive and was a good second in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket. Hoof It makes plenty of appeal but 3/1 looks a skinny price about him. Prohibit at around 8/1 has a decent each way chance. Should the ground ride on the soft side then Wizz Kid would come into the equation.
Elsewhere Dysios has an each way chance in the 3.50 at Sandown.
