Newsboy's ITV selections for York and Newbury plus tips from Friday's other UK meetings

SWEET WILLIAM gets the vote over favourite Rebel’s Romance in the Group 2 Boodles Yorkshire Cup (3.45) at York on Friday.

The John and Thady Gosden-trained six-year-old proved better than ever in 2024 with a win at this level in the Doncaster Cup in September.

Sweet William can look ungainly under pressure but has made the frame in every one of his 15 career starts and the step back to a mile and three-quarters should not inconvenience Rab Havlin’s partner.

Karl Burke is fancied to saddle a double before the cameras, completed by THUNDER RUN in the Knights Solicitors Handicap (2.42).

The preceding Listed Clipper EBF Marygate Fillies' Stakes (2.10) is a good opportunity for stablemate LOVE OLIVIA to add to an impressive debut victory at Wolverhampton in the Listed Clipper EBF Marygate Fillies' Stakes (2.10).

Also seeking to defend an unbeaten record at Listed level is CONSECRATED, who is taken to add to a first-time-up score at Newbury in the Sky Bet Fillies' Stakes (3.13).

He missed out by a short head at Doncaster on his return, but ACRISIUS has strong claims of going one better in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Handicap (4.15).

At Newbury, SOVEREIGN SEA should appreciate the chance to tackle a mile and a quarter when he engages with 14 opponents for the Titan Wealth Handicap (2.25).
