Ivan set for Ebor test Ivan Grozny will fly the Irish flag alone in Saturday's prestigious Betfred Ebor at York. Willie Mullins' smart dual-purpose performer was last seen getting only as far as the first in the Galway Hurdle, where he was brought down. Soldier In Action has been left at the head of the weights for the Ebor. The four-year-old has a 4lb penalty for a valuable win at Goodwood three weeks ago. Jedd O'Keeffe's Lord Yeats, Saeed bin Suroor's Winning Story, Eve Johnson Houghton's Scarlet Dragon and Mick Channon's Elidor are all towards the top of the weights. The veteran Clever Cookie takes his chance for Peter Niven, with Star Storm, Natural Scenery and the consistent Nakeeta others of note. Sir Mark Prescott has declared the ante-post favourite Flymetothestars, while Josephine Gordon rides Dubka for Sir Michael Stoute. Seamour and Wild Hacked are sure to have their followers too. Magic Circle, a winner at York on Wednesday, was the last of the 20 runners to make the cut.
