Sky Sports Racing's Kevin Blake returns with two selections for day three of the Ebor Festival at York.

The highlight is the Coolmore City Of Troy Nunthorpe Stakes (3:35), where Blake targets outsider STARLUST at 33/1. Trained by Ralph Beckett, the five-year-old showed promise before retiring to stud in Australia, then returned to training after fertility concerns. Recent efforts, including a fourth in a Listed race over course and distance, suggest he's building to a big run.

In the British Stallion Farms EBF Convivial Maiden Stakes (4:45), Blake backs OKLAHOMA, an Aidan O'Brien-trained colt by Wootton Bassett. The juvenile finished second on debut behind Giant Sequoia and third at Killarney. Cheekpieces and the bigger track should help him improve in this valuable maiden.

With heavy ground expected, both selections offer appealing odds in competitive fields.
