Soldier In Action has been left at the head of the weights for Saturday's prestigious Betfred Ebor at York.

The four-year-old has a 4lb penalty for a valuable win at Gooodwood 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.

Willie Mullins runs Ivan Grozny, 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.

Mark Johnston's Cardsharp will attempt to defy a Group Two penalty in the Al Basti Equiworld Gimcrack Stakes on the same card.

The July Stakes winner has since finished third in the Richmond at Goodwood and will be conceding 3lb to each of his 11 rivals as Johnston looks to win the race for just the second time.

Frozen Angel, last seen finishing a creditable fifth in the Phoenix Stakes, runs for Tom Dascombe.

Headway, runner-up in the Coventry at Ascot and James Tate's Invincible Army also bring solid Group form to the contest.

Nebo, De Bruyne Horse, who is declared to run on Thursday, Staxton and Stormbringer also feature.
