16:45 York – Luna A Inbhir Nis
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale: The first leg of today’s accumulator revolves around Luna A Inbhir Nis, a filly who has transformed herself into one of the most reliable sprinters in training this season. Trained by Katie Scott, the three-year-old arrives chasing a third consecutive win following a dominant display at Haydock and a polished success here over five and a half furlongs at the end of July.

Her profile this year is remarkable: six victories in total, five of which have come at five furlongs, underlining her preference for sharp tests that demand raw speed. While her defeat at York in June raised minor concerns at the time, she has bounced back superbly since, proving that effort to be nothing more than a blip.
Jason Hart retains the ride, having steered her to wins at both Haydock and Ayr earlier this term, and their partnership has blossomed into something dependable. With confidence soaring and her ability to find more under pressure clearly established, Luna A Inbhir Nis shapes like the one they all need to beat. Her upward trajectory suggests the handicapper has yet to fully anchor her, and another bold showing looks firmly on the cards.
15:00 York – Arabian Force
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale: The feature race at York sees Derby and Irish Derby hero Lambourn dominate the market, but there are reasons to think the favourite could be vulnerable under his penalty on lightning-quick ground. With that in mind, Arabian Force appeals as the value selection in this small but select field.
Representing William Haggas, the colt has already shown a liking for fast surfaces, producing a commanding five-length demolition of Gladius at Salisbury in May. He has since held his own at Royal Ascot, finishing seventh in the Hampton Court Stakes over a trip that was clearly on the sharp side. That run suggested he would benefit from a stiffer test of stamina.
Connections stepped him up to 1m3f in the Listed Glasgow Stakes at Hamilton, where he met trouble in running but flew home once in the clear, going down by only a nose to Nahraan. The way he surged past the line hinted strongly at untapped reserves, and this step up to 1m4f looks tailor-made for his style of racing. With improvement still to come, Arabian Force could well spring a surprise by putting established names under serious pressure.
17:20 York – Utmost Respect
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale: The final leg of the accumulator brings us back to the sprinting division, where Utmost Respect represents trainer Richard Fahey in the competitive nursery. This juvenile first caught the eye when a strong second over this course and distance in May, a race he would likely have won with a clearer run. That effort confirmed his raw ability and hinted at serious potential.
He was then aimed at the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, where despite his inexperience he was far from disgraced in seventh. That performance came against a field of hardened youngsters, with almost all the principals boasting more racing experience. The fact that connections were confident enough to run him there highlights how highly they rate him.
Since then, he returned to winning ways in a small-field contest, which although modest, gave him further confidence and valuable experience. His current handicap mark still looks lenient given what he showed on his first two outings, and Fahey’s record in this very nursery is outstanding – four wins since 2012. With a trainer who knows exactly how to prepare one for this event and a horse who has already shown the ability to cope with the York track, Utmost Respect has excellent prospects of making it five for his stable.onents who are less proven under these conditions, Grand Traverse looks a standout choice to keep his winning momentum going.
