Regal Reality provides York hope for Sir Michael Stoute

SIR Michael Stoute will rely on Regal Reality to provide him with a second victory in the Sky Bet York Stakes.

The veteran trainer possessed a strong hand at the confirmation stage for tomorrow’s Group Two, with Coral Eclipse-third Regal Reality joined by stablemate Sangarius – an emphatic winner of the Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot last month.

However, with the latter not declared, Regal Reality will be a hot favourite to claim the feature on the Knavesmire following his excellent effort behind the brilliant Enable at Sandown three weeks ago.
