The latest news and going as Ten Sovereigns and Battaash lock horns
All the latest news info and market movers for day three of the Ebor festival
After superstar mare Enable's emotional British swansong in the Yorkshire Oaks on Thursday, the Knavesmire welcomes more top-class talent with Stradivarius aiming to continue his dominance of the staying division in the Lonsdale Cup (2.25).
The feature Nunthorpe Stakes (3.35) looks an enthralling running with Ten Sovereigns and Battaash locking horns. However, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Fairyland will enter the equation at a much bigger price, following eyecatching displays in the King's Stand and July Cup.
The supporting cast is strong. Ffos Las, Newmarket, Goodwood, Salisbury and Chelmsford provide British interest, while there are evening cards in Ireland at Killarney and the Curragh.

Final thought
With a lofty rating of 111 and form far superior to his rivals, the Richard Hannon-trained Threat will take a lot of stopping in the Gimcrack Stakes (3.00) at York. The Footstepsinthesand colt could provide the trainer with a big-race juvenile double after Mums Tipple's scintillating triumph on Thursday.
