The Punt Acca: Robbie Wilders' three horse racing tips at York on Wednesday

Shaquille(2.25 York)

Although the outsider of the field in the Acomb Stakes, Shaquille is the only horse running with a course-and-distance victory to his name and the ability to cope with the unique test the Knavesmire presents is crucial in juvenile races. The Acomb has a knack of throwing up wild results – the outsider of five scored in last season's running – and this colt is open to as much improvement as any on his second run, so is well worth considering.

Frankenstella (4.10 York)

Frankenstella wouldn't have been kept in training as a five-year-old if her connections didn't feel there was more to come, and this filly ran right up to her best on her return over this course and distance in May. The Sky Bet Stayers Handicap is wide open but she reoposses with favourite Master Milliner on 10lb better terms for a narrow defeat here when the pair met earlier in the campaign, and she looks overpriced at a venue she clearly enjoys.

Mrs USA (5.20 York)

George Boughey is one of the best young trainers around and can add to his successes at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood with Mrs USA in the 6f nursery to conclude the opening day of York's Ebor meeting. Mrs USA twice bumped into Lady Hollywood when second on her first two runs and that filly has subsequently won a Listed race in Ireland. A mark of 81 could grossly underestimate her and the step up to six furlongs promises to suit on pedigree and visual impression.
