THREE-YEAR-OLD’S attempting to win the Ebor Handicap (York, 3.35) has long since been a thing of the past, as with so much prize money up for grabs, the older horses have ruled the roost since way back to 2002.

This time around this big field, the extended 13.5f handicap will once again go to an “older” horse with the top weight set to be carried by Relentless Voyager off a mark of 108 and no less than 13 horses set to try to defy marks of 100 plus and another three off 99.

Queenstown represents the best of the Irish staying form having twice finished behind the Ascot Gold Cup winner and stable mate Kyprios this season, and a rating of 107 probably represents that form accurately, but it will be surprising if an up and coming stayer cannot take his number and that of the Andrew Balding-trained top weight as well.
