JOCKEY Paul Mulrennan will relish a return to the scene of Ebor Festival glory this weekend.

Mulrennan, who lives in Boroughbridge, is booked to ride Glen Moss in the Betfred Garrowby Stakes - the highlight of the annual Press Family Sunday at the Knavesmire.

Only two weeks ago, Mulrennan was celebrating a famous victory on Mecca's Angel in the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York's Ebor Festival.

It was the second consecutive year that he had won the Group One prize on Darlington-based trainer Michael Dods' filly and only the second Group One success of his career.

Now Mulrennan has his eyes on more glory with Glen Moss - although the horse's involvement still hinges on rain falling in the next few days.

The Betfred Garrowby Stakes is a six furlong listed race for sprinters with a prize pot of £40,000.

Other strong contenders in the field include Baccarat, a former Royal Ascot winner, and Mr Lupton and Lord of the Land, who are trained locally by Richard Fahey and David O'Meara, respectively.

Mulrennan, who had saddled four winners over the last few days (pending last night's meeting at Carlisle) said: "Glen Moss is training very well and is in good form. The drop back in trip to six furlongs will suit him. We are very happy with him at the moment but he does need a bit more give in the ground than there is at present."

If Glen Moss should be withdrawn, Mulrennan still has three other bookings at Sunday's meeting including Lexi's Boy for Donald McCain in the Fred Nowell Memorial Stakes, Rockwood in the Barkers Garage Stakes, and Emerald Secret, which is trained by Paul Midgley at Westow, in the Maiden Stakes.

"I always look forward to riding at York," said Mulrennan. "It's the Royal Ascot of the north and my favourite track.

"Winning the Nunthorpe again on Mecca's Angel was extra special," he added. "I still haven't had a chance to celebrate that win properly yet - because I had to be up at 5.30am the next morning - but I will do eventually!"

Now in its 17th year, the Press Family Sunday is the only Sunday meeting of the season at the Knavesmire.

Admission is free for under 18s although under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. The County Stand dress code is relaxed, with smart casual being the advice.

Racing under rules starts at 2.10pm but there are also two Conditions Series Finals for young riders which start at 1pm. The final race starts at 5.10pm.

The family entertainment on offer includes bouncy castles, funfair rides, face painting, and a racing interactive zone.

Children's favourite Paddington will also be making his first visit to the course.
