Day 2 of York's Ebor meeting takes centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.
York

New Image is in the form of his life at present and looks a handicapper going places. He ran a fine race 2 starts back to just be denied in the International handicap at Ascot, finishing 2nd of 18. He then returned there to win over 1m on the round course in the Shergar Cup, having settled behind the leaders he quickened up nicely to get his head down on the line. He has gone up 4lbs for that run but with the form he is in at the moment it might not be enough to stop him. A strongly run race over 7f in a big field handicap look likely to suit New Image very well and he should be in the shake up at the finish. New Image rates a 5 star each way Pick.
