It's Day Two of the Ebor Festival and BettingLounge's racing expert Ben has gone through some of his favourite bets for the day, putting them in one place for you.
So, let's just dive in.
🥇 Best Bet
After making you wait for my Day One tips, we're going early for Day Two and my NAP on the day comes in the second race.
When Aidan O'Brien confirmed Sun Goddess for the Half Million, it was a case of seeing what price you could get.
Having won both of her last two races in Grade 1 and Grade 2 company - coming second to Libertango in her third most recent run - this step down in class should be absolutely no challenge.
The draw could be something of an issue. However, she's beaten fields with substantially more quality.
This should be a third first in a row for her. Evens looks like a gift!
🥈 Next Best
Then, we're going for Libertango in the first race, which is a slightly bigger 2/1 currently with William Hill.
Nevertheless, I'm still very confident in the filly here.
Billy Loughnane is booked for the ride by George Boughey and very little needs to be said about their partnership this season.
With form figures of 112, she is the class horse of this race and her price is only so high due to the draw - which I am aware could make things quite tough.
It'd take a lot to beat her in the first race of the day, especially for perhaps the best jockey about at the moment!
👀 Long Shot
Finally, I'm going for the third race with my long shot - like I say, we're not following Tuesday's trend of waiting around for my bets (!) - and I don't understand the price for Checkandchallenge, who I'm backing E/W.
The 7-year-old has plenty of experience over a mile and I think the market could be overlooking recent runs.
Returning to the saddle is Callum Shepherd, who had form figures of 233 in 2025 on Checkandchallenge over a mile. A big tick there.
Additionally, the gelding is set to run over a mile on good ground with cheekpieces on for the first time since coming a fantastic third to Zeus Olympios last year.
Coming off a strong third at York last month, I think 20/1 looks quite big, especially with five places offered by most of the best horse racing bookmakers.
Good luck with your picks, and let us know if you back any of our selections on X @BetLoungeTips!
