Sky Bet City Of York Stakes (Group 1)

York · 15:00 · Saturday, 22 August 2026 · 7f · Good To Soft · Class 1

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be a mid-to-late pace contest with the early leaders expected to be drawn from the inside or midfield, with Lake Forest and Flora Of Bermuda both showing strong headway and positioning in recent runs, particularly on softer ground. Flora Of Bermuda stands out with consistent form over 6f and 7f, having won at York and Goodwood on good to firm, and her recent performance at Goodwood in a close finish with headway over 2f out and a strong finish under Oisin Murphy makes her a hard-to-oppose contender despite a slight drop in class. The main dangers are Ten Bob Tony, who has shown resilience in fast ground and a strong finish at Goodwood, and Rogue Diplomat, who has surged in recent outings with a near miss at Goodwood and a strong push in a handicap, both of whom could challenge from the back. Each-way value is present in the first-time headgear Paborus and Puerto Rico, with the latter showing form on softer ground and a notable improvement in recent runs.
