Royal Hunt Cup 2027 Betting Odds
The 2026 Royal Hunt Cup will be a typically wide open encounter from a betting point-of-view. Jimi Hendrix, Wild Tiger and My Cloud are among the recent winners of an encounter which is run over a mile. There are lots of potential winners and the bookies have installed Indalo as the market leader based on some encouraging displays.

Blue Brother also has the potential to go well over course and distance, although Classic is potentially the runner who offers the best value. Richard Hannon's six-year-old won a seasonal debut when landing second and then followed up with a victory. Diego Ventura and Eternal Force are other horses with a lively chance of success.

Classic is operating at an attractive price when it comes to the 2026 Royal Hunt Cup. The runner has performed consistently strongly over several months and the latest effort came in a handicap encounter at Newbury. Despite an awkward start, the runner was able to narrowly get up and that had come after a solid performance at the same course a month previously.
In the Spring Cup Handicap, the 18/1 shot was narrowly touched off into second although these sort of performances put the horse in an excellent light. We should also note that Classic ran very well in a seven furlong race at Ascot back in July where the horse ran really well. From an each-way point-of-view, this runner looks to have the standout value.
Indalo is trained by Roger Varian and might go off as favourite, with the five-year-old was an August winner at Southwell. There was then a solid performance at Newmarket at the end of September, with the 20/1 shot finishing second in a big field and there was then an excellent effort when pushing Classic close in an exciting encounter.
Blue Brother has been a year out of the game but did perform in the Royal Hunt Cup in 2025 when achieving a midfield position. Another Hamad Al Jehani-trained charge is Diego Ventura and the four-year-old has run at York and Longchamp this season. However, the standout performance was a victory at Hamilton in a handicap race.
