Barry Hills has launched an all-out assault in his bid for a third Tote-Ebor triumph of the 1990s.

He has made no fewer than seven entries for next month's £165,000 handicap at York, a race he won with Further Flight in 1990 and Sanmartino three years ago.

Further Flight himself, fourth last year, is the most highly weighted on 8st 11lb, followed by State Fair (7-13), Prairie Falcon (7-9), Last Christmas (7-6), Mudalal (7-1), Rainbow High (71) and Valaglore (6-12).

Sir Michael Stoute has put Newcastle scorer Secret Saver (8-9), Double Classic - successful in the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot - (8-4) and Corelli (6-12) in the race he landed with Deposki (1991) and Clerkenwell (1996).

Other notable entries include dual Aidan O'Brien's Champion Hurdle runner-up Theatreworld (8-6) and Northumberland Plate winner Cyrian (8-4).

Aidan O'Brien can look forward to welcoming a $1 million Danzig colt, bought for Ballydoyle Racing by agent Demi Byrne at the Keeneland sales.
