2023 Cumberland Lodge Stakes Tips
Hamish has been exemplary so far this season and the horse will now aim to secure a fourth consecutive victory of the campaign. The seven-year-old kicked off with a win in the Ormonde Stakes at Chester over one mile, five and a half furlongs. There was then a narrow win as the 4/9 favourite when winning the John Smith’s Silver Cup Stakes at York.
Better was to follow in the King’s Plate Glorious Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse, with the horse obliging as the 5/6 favourite and this four-length victory outlines solid credentials when it comes to this weekend’s encounter. Some would argue that the horse is still a value price to land a win although there are some tough opponents.
Al Aasy was a smart performer in the Paddy Power Stakes at Leopardstown, with the horse missing out by just half a length when losing to favourite Adelaide River. The runner kept on well over one mile and four furlongs, with that coming after a win in the Rose of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock Park.
Israr could be the best of the rest, with the horse having been somewhat disappointing on the all-weather at Kempton Park last time out. However, the horse did perform brightly when landing a victory against three rivals in the Princess of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket over one mile and four furlongs.
