IT is easy to see why Mekong has been all the rage all week for the Sky Bet Race To The Ebor Grand Cup at York this afternoon. Sir Michael Stoute’s horse is a progressive young stayer, he was seriously impressive in winning at Haydock last September on heavy ground, he will have Ryan Moore for company again, and he ran Gold Cup aspirant Dee Ex Bee to two lengths in the Group 3 Matchbook Henry II Stakes at Sandown on his debut this term.
That said, he is very short now, and Raheen House is an intriguing runner against him, having his first run for William Haggas.
