Ahead of the 2025 Ebor Festival 3yo Heritage Handicap, why not head over to the racing predictions for tips on other races today?

Over the last 12 renewals, it was Pogo, trained by Charles Hills and ridden by Kieran Shoemark, who set the fastest winning time in the Ebor Festival 3yo Heritage Handicap. That runner won the race in a time of 1:34.95 in 2019. At the other end of the scale, it was the combination of trainer David Elsworth and jockey Kieren Fallon with Master The World who set the slowest winning time; the race-winning time was 1:39.27 in the 2014 renewal.

What the expert says...
The last two winners have both come from the Glorious Goodwood meeting, as did the 2019 winner, too, so watch out for runners coming here from there.
