The action kicks off at 1.40, with the Dante Stakes featuring on the card at 3.10.
Our team have taken a look through the card in the hope of tracking down a few runners with a decent price at the Yorkshire course.
Here are three selections that could hint at some value on the second day of the Dante Festival.
Silence Please – 2.10 York (4/1 – Various)
A consistent filly from Jessica Harrington’s yard, Silence Please could land her first Group success here in the Middleton Fillies’ Stakes.
The four-year-old ran on well to take second in the Group 3 Paddy Power Stakes at Leopardstown last September and she had landed a creditable fourth in the German Oaks a month previously.
She has proven to be fairly versatile across the middle distances and Silence Please could strike for the first time in nearly a year here.
Royal Champion – 3.10 York (6/1 – bet365)
A colt that is held in high regard in the Varian Stables, Royal Champion could show further progress in the Dante Stakes.
The three-year-old was slightly below-par in the Feilden Stakes last month, but he should come on further from that run and could appreciate the step up in trip here.
Sired by Sharmardal and out of Dubawi’s half-sister Emirates Queen, his pedigree would suggest there is more come from Roger Varian’s prospect.
With a current price of 6/1, Royal Champion holds a decent level of value in the Dante.
Muker – 3.40 York (14/1 – Various)
A course & distance winner as a two-year-old, Muker returns to York in hope of reviving his previous season form.
Phillip Makin’s colt has struggled since returning in April, finishing fourth on his reappearance at Nottingham before finishing five and three quarters behind the winner at Hamilton.
He can be forgiven for his last outing as he had to give 3lbs to all bar Dragon Symbol, but the three-year-old could be revived at the course he claimed success at back in July.
Muker’s Group experience could benefit him here and his price of 14/1 is very eye-catching indeed.
