The draw in stall six is a concern for me. Eight of the last ten Ebor winners have been drawn in stall 15 or higher. Similar stats with places. The first four placings in the past five years have been filled by just four single-figure drawn runners. I'll probably still have a small win only bet out of blind loyalty. Won't be remortgaging anything.
That's true, but in the decade before that it was always seen as essential to be drawn in single figures. They ride the Knavesmire differently now and tend to come down the middle rather than the far rail, but it's still entirely possible that the high number "trend" is little more than randomness. That's what I'm banking on at any rate, as I've gone with Mustajeer in two.
Withhold is now the narrow favourite at 7-1 btw, then 15-2 Kings Advice and 8-1 bar.
