Tony worth Ten Bob in the City of York

The City of York Stakes, a prestigious Group One race, is set to take place on the third day of the Ebor Festival in York. Among the participants is Ten Bob Tony, the horse that caused a shock by winning the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot with a strong showing. Despite running a sub-par performance in the Sussex Stakes, Ten Bob Tony appears well-suited for this race, as he has shown an affinity for easier ground following recent rain.

Another contender to watch is Marvelman, a four-year-old with solid backing from the Andrew Balding stables. He has demonstrated potential when handled correctly, and this race could provide an opportunity for him to showcase his abilities. Rhoscolyn, an eight-year-old ridden by David O’Meara, is another option worth considering for the public. With recent rain conditions making the ground favorable for him, Rhoscolyn has shown promising form in recent races and could be a strong contender in the 2.05pm race at Chester.
