Below we’ve got the best York horse racing tips on Sunday for each ITV Racing scheduled race, including the Listed Starman Garrowby Stakes (4:30pm).

York Horse Racing Tips – Sunday 7th September 2025 

2:30 – Enter ITV7 For Free ‘Confined’ EBF Maiden Stakes (Horses Which Have Run No More Than Once) (GBB) Cl2 (2yo) 7f ITV4

Not a lot to go on here in this juvenile race – with the first four in the betting all running second on debut too.

Of that bunch Crown Office was only just touched off and represents the in-form William Haggas team. He can go well, while recent silver medalists Delinquent, Secret History and Proud Nation all have big claims.

But the value call with the horse racing betting sites could be INFINITE DREAM for the Andrew Balding team – who have a 30% SR here with their 2 year-olds.

This Night Of Thunder colt was 5th on debut, but that came behind the promising Al Zanati and the second in that race has won since to frank the form.

🥇INFINITE DREAM (e/w)
🥈CROWN OFFICE 
🥉PROUD NATION

3:00 – Sky Bet Super Sub Sprint Handicap Cl2 (3yo+ 0-100) 5½f ITV4

Tricky handicap here, with Bergerac and Squealer the only two CD winners in the field.

Vantheman was well backed here at the Ebor Meeting but was only 10th after being sent off favourite – but is 2lbs lower.

Course winners Air Force One, who was a close second here last month, and Vintage Clarets are others to respect, but KING OF STARS has run the last twice as if he’s coming into form – finishing third at Ascot and fourth last time at Newbury.

He’s been given a chance by the handicapper too – dropped another pound here and is now rated 9lbs lower than this time last year.

🥇KING OF STARS (e/w)
🥈AIR FORCE ONE 
🥉VANTHEMAN 

3:30 – Skybet Proud To Support Ror Stayers Handicap (GBBPlus Race) Cl3 (3yo+ 0-95) 2m½f ITV4

Artisan Dancer keeps knocking on the door without winning and is sure to run his race again – but the worry is the Charlie Johnston team are only 3-87 (3%) here at Ascot.

Fireblade has had a top season and was a nice winner at Ascot on Shergar Cup day – but was down the field last time and you feel he might be in the handicapper’s grip now.

CD winners Rock N Roll Pinkie, Gibside and Terrorise will have their backers too, however, the interesting one is DIAMOND BAY, for the Tom Ward yard.

This 7 year-old is the second oldest in the field (to Enemy) and caught last time when running on over 1m6f to take third – suggest this try again over 2m 1/2f is worth a try.

He also sports the first-time visor and is a course winner here at York. Jim Crowley, who rode the last day for the first time, also continues in the plate.

🥇DIAMOND BAY 
🥈ARTISAN DANCER 
🥉TERRORISE

4:00 – Sky Bet Extra Places Middle Distance Handicap (GBBPlus Race) Cl3 (3yo+ 0-95) 1m2½f ITV4

The William Haggas and John Gosden teams continue to go well and so their runners Noble Horizon and Theory Of Tides, at a bigger price, can’t be ruled out.

Danger Man looks the improver after nice wins at Hamilton and a 5lb rise for the last of those looks fair.

But it’s hard to ignore the decent Crisford SR (38%) with their 4+ year-olds at the track – so MAGNUM OPUS is the call here.

This 4 year-old was last seen running 5th at Chelmsford on the AW and before that was down the field in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot.

However, we can’t forget this horse was also a close 4th in the Lincoln back in March and is really 4lbs lower here with the Harry Burns claim.

🥇MAGNUM OPUS 
🥈DANGER MAN 
🥉NOBLE HORIZON 

4:30 – Sky Bet Starman Garrowby Stakes (Listed Race) Cl1 (3yo+) 6f ITV4

The promising William Haggas sprinter ALMERAQ was entered in the G1 Sprint Cup (Sat) but failed to make the final cut – but in this easier race will be all the rage.

Bolted up at Ayr the last day in the Gold Cup trial and the fractions there were good too. That was only his fourth career run so there is likely to be more to come too.

He can take this before possibly heading to the Ayr Gold Cup on the 20th September and also holds an entry in the Champion Sprint.

Of the rest, the consistent Lethal Levi is the top-rated in the field and heads here off a nice win at Newmarket in the Listed Hopeful Stakes – beating Elmonjed by 2 1/2 lengths but the runner-up is 3lbs better off this time.

While Prince Of India is an in-form sprinter – winning his last two in handicap company – and deserves to take his chance up in grade here.

🥇ALMERAQ 
🥈LETHAL LEVI 
🥉ELMONJED 

5:00 – Sky Bet Build A Bet Fillies’ Handicap Cl3 (3yo+ 0-90) 1m1f ITV4

Revelance will be popular after two nice wins at Salisbury and Epsom – but is up in grade here and up 5lbs too.

She should have more to come with only four runs but this looks a bit harder and the William Haggas pair of SEREN STAR and Rhapsody are preferred.

The former also comes here on a three-timer after wins at Chepstow and Hamilton. More on her plate here but looks progressive and having stayed on well at Hamilton last time out, the long York straight is sure to suit.

Of the rest, Rhapsody catches the eye too for the Julie Camacho yard, who do well here at the track. She won at Windsor last time and the second Hickory has franked the form to win on Friday at Ascot.

🥇SEREN STAR 
🥈RHAPSODY 
🥉ZAPPHIRE 

5:30 – Sky Bet, For The Fans Mile Apprentice Handicap Cl4 (3yo+ 0-85) 1m ITV4

A tough race to end and a chance is taken on FEEL THE NEED, who is a course winner here at York.

Poor last time out at Chepstow but that run might have come a bit too soon after running just a few weeks prior to that.

But ran well at York the time before (3rd) and today connections have a 5lb claimer on – meaning he’s 4lbs better off than that York bronze.

Of the rest, recent Sandown winner Earthwatch caught the eye the last day – but is up 11lbs.

While CD winner Billyb is another to consider with the promising Ashley Lewis in the plate to claim a handy 3lbs.

🥈EARTHWATCH
