Top Horses to Follow on Day 4 of Ebor Festival
NAP of the Day (16:45) - Mr Lightside
Our NAP of the Day for the last day of the York Ebor Festival, Mr Lightside has a strong track record, having won at Redcar and Nottingham before finishing third at Goodwood, narrowly beaten by a stable-mate. It prefers to lead the race and is expected to perform well again, making it a top contender for the upcoming competition.

Sixandahalf
J: K M Donoghue
T: G P Cromwell
Sixandahalf
4/6
Age: 5
Weight: 11-4
Days: 214
Connections would have been scratching their head as to how she was beat at Cheltenham in the Mares’ Novice Hurdle but Sixandahalf can get compensation for that loss now here.
Sets the standard on form and should be hard to beat if replicating her Cheltenham Festival effort.

Win Double - Lake Forest (3.00) & Mr Lightside (16:45) both to win
Lake Forest is a promising contender for the 3.00 at Ebor, winner of last year's Gimcrack stake, his suitability for the 7-furlong distance and along with a skilled rider in Tom Marquand puts the horse as our favourite for this race.
Mr. Lightside is a strong contender in the 16:45 at Ebor having previously won at Redcar and Nottingham and finishing third at Goodwood. He prefers to lead and is expected to perform well.

Dark Horse (14:25) - Terrorise
The upcoming race is highly competitive, with many horses having a chance to win. Despite being a longshot, Terrorise has been well-backed by connections and could benefit from the extra distance and the experienced jockey Shay Farmer, who has a perfect record at York.

Beckett Rock
J: Rachael Blackmore
T: H De Bromhead
Beckett Rock
14/1
Age: 6
Weight: 11-8
Days: 50
Ran a really nice race at Cheltenham in the Coral Cup, just lacked the pace to have a bigger say, staying on nicely late to claim 6th place.
Shaped like a real stamina test will bring out some improvement on quicker ground and Rachael Blackmore opts to take the ride.
Can outrun his big odds of 18/1.
