Magnificent seven in Juddmonte International at York


Barney Roy is 5/2 favourite with Sky Bet for the Juddmonte International at York where he faces six rivals including Churchill and Ulysses.

Coral-Eclipse one-two Ulysses and Barney Roy are set to do battle again on the Knavesmire while Churchill, a horse that beat the latter in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in May, steps up to 10 furlongs for the first time.

He's 3/1 with the Leeds-based firm to regain the winning thread having suffered a surprise reverse in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Ulysses drops back in trip after finishing second to Enable in the King George at Ascot last time and is 7/2 to bag another Group One prize while Shutter Speed, a stablemate of Enable, is 8/1 to win it for the sponsors.

Churchill's stablemate Cliffs Of Moher (11/2), second in the Investec Derby, also lines up, while Decorated Knight (14/1) and My Dream Boat (40/1) complete the field.

Sky Bet spokesman Michael Shinners said: "It's a fascinating renewal of the Juddmonte International and a great start to the Welcome To Yorkshire Ebor Festival. At the moment Barney Roy is favourite to take revenge on Ulysses for his Coral-Eclipse defeat but it will be interesting to see where the money goes between now and race time."
