Plum draw for Ebor favourite

A maximum field of 20 will go to post for Wednesday’s totesport Ebor at York, including Aidan O’Brien’s ante-post favourite Changingoftheguard.

The impressive Ulster Derby winner heads the market at a best-priced 7-2 and has been drawn in what looks a favourable stall seven. He will be ridden by Johnny Murtagh.

Glorious Stakes second Warringah, representing the yard of Sir Michael Stoute and the mount of champion jockey Ryan Moore, will take his chance from stall one. He is joined by fellow Glorious Goodwood victor Manyriverstocross, but Alan King’s charge has been drawn wide in 20

Newton Cup winner Red Merlin (15), who along with Dansili Dancer (four) completes a brace of Clive Cox runners, is another to have attracted significant support and goes to the Knavesmire with expectations running high.

Hits Only Vic, who won a Listed contest over course and distance last month - beating Warringah in the process – will seek a repeat performance for Declan Carroll, and has been drawn in stall 10.

Willie Mullins saddles dual-purpose performers Deutschland (19) and Sesenta (16), while Magicalmysterytour (17) bids to break his seasonal duck for Willie Musson.

There are two reserves – Paul Cole’s Precision Break and the Brian Ellison-trained Overrule.
