SUN racing goes hunting for value on the third day of the Dante Festival at York, plus Newbury gets in on the act too.

Read on to find out our top tips and land yourself a decent return from a small stake.

Longshot

SURREY PRIDE (2.40 York)

He won a couple of times over this trip last season and finished with a solid effort in the November Handicap. He’s still on a fair mark and can go close if fit for this return.

Each-way Thief

MAY BLOSSOM (1.40 York)

She improved a bundle from her debut to score at Pontefract last time when showing lots of pace. This is tougher but there should be a good deal more to come.

MAJOR JUMBO (2.25 Newbury)

He’s knocking on a bit now but is a Listed winner at best and looked in need of the run at Wolverhampton on return. His rider takes off a valuable 7lb which sees him on a nice weight today.
