Day four of the York Ebor festival is here – but who do our top tipsters fancy most?

Odds: 15-2

Those who ran well at Glorious Goodwood are often worth a look here and True Legend, who meets all trends, fits the bill. He has gone up 22lb this season and may not be finished yet.

The Goodwood angle brings The Goat and Fox Journey into the equation with the latter feared most back on a faster surface. This is a step up for Edge Of Darkness but he's going the right way and a four-timer isn't out of the question.

The Ralph Beckett-trained six-year-old is a specialist at this trip and looks ready to win the City of York Stakes for a second time. The gelding took this last year before winning four races in a row, including the Prix de la Foret and the British Champions Sprint, and bounced back to winning ways in the Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last time.

Isaac Shelby was only a neck behind him on that occasion and he has to give him 5lb this time, but on ratings Kinross has taken his form to another level again this season and is banker material.

Ebor sponsors Sky Bet are paying out eight places on each-way bets on the race. That's four places more than standard each-way terms and two places more than any other bookmaker.

This lightly raced four-year-old was beaten a length into third in a 'win and you're in' race over 1m4f here at the Dante meeting, but the winner Scampi has gone up 12lb since and it was far from a poor run, especially considering he was badly outpaced early in the straight before rattling home.

That served notice he wanted further and he won as he liked when upped to 1m6f for the first time at Ascot last month on his only run since.

Odds: 18-1

I have to give one more chance to Mums Tipple, who won the sales race over course and distance by 11 lengths in an impressive time as a two-year-old.

Mums Tipple was fourth off a similar mark in the Wokingham two starts ago and would have hated the heavy ground at Goodwood last time.
