Klassleader's High Stakes at York The Ebor Handicap has long been a benchmark for Europe's top thoroughbreds, and this year's edition is no exception.
With a purse of £500,000, it attracts some of the continent's most talented horses. Hollie Doyle's enthusiasm for Klassleader is well founded, given his impressive form on York's Knavesmire track.
Klassleader's detractors might point to his disappointing Old Newton Cup performance at Newmarket last month, where he struggled with undulating ground.
