York’s Dante meeting: all the latest horse racing news on day two – live

A very good afternoon from the Knavesmire in York, where Aidan O’Brien will complete a veritable rampage through this year’s Epsom Classic trials if The Lion In Winter, who took over as the favourite for next month’s Derby after winning the Acomb Stakes here nine months ago, can live up to his advance billing in this afternoon’s Dante Stakes.

Other candidates for Epsom glory have put down their markers over the last couple of weeks, including Ruling Court, the 2,000 Guineas winner, and a seemingly endless succession of classically-bred trial winner from the O’Brien stable.
