Summer Mile Stakes 2026 Betting Odds

Saturday 11 July 2026 · Ascot · By Matthew Glazier

The Summer Mile Stakes at Ascot looks like an open affair, with Haatem coming into this encounter after winning last time out. Richard Hannon trains a four-year-old with a really lively chance, with Quddwah also boasting a win this season and the five-year-old is also vying for favoritism in this race.

Never So Brave followed up a second on a seasonal debut with a first-placed finish last time out and should be a lively contender in this encounter. My Cloud has racked up a succession of victories and perhaps could be the best each-way value in the race. Prague is also trading at single figure odds, with Socialite available at a bigger price.

2025 Summer Mile Stakes Betting Tips

Haatem was a winner last time out and the Richard Hannon-trained runner could be the one to beat in the Summer Mile Stakes. The four-year-old was successful in a Royal Ascot encounter when obliging in the Wolferton Stakes over one mile and two furlongs. It was a slender triumph which came after finishing fourth at Longchamp.

That run came in the Prix de Montretout, with Quddwah the winner on that occasion. The latter will line up here at a backable price although the reason why the horse isn’t trading shorter is because of a disappointing performance last time out. In the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot, the horse failed to make an impression at betting odds of 16/1.

Never So Brave was able to score on his last showing. The Andrew Balding-trained runner was highly impressive when getting home in the Buckingham Palace Stakes. Sent off as the 4/1 favourite, it was a victory by two lengths over seven furlongs. That came after a second-placed finish out of thirteen runners at Chester in a previous encounter.

My Cloud has made the bookies sit up and take notice based on his latest form. Roger Varian trains a four-year-old who was able to score out of a field of thirty runners at Royal Ascot. The 3/1 favourite landed the spoils in the Royal Hunt Cup, with the horse following up previous successes at Ascot and Newbury with this victory.


2023 Summer Mile Stakes Tips

Chindit was able to land a victory at Ascot in early May, with the horse beating four other runners in the Paradise Stakes when being sent off as the 5/2 joint-favourite. There was then a smart performance in the Lockinge Stakes where the horse was sent off at odds of 22/1 although there was a chance of victory before finishing runner-up behind Modern Games.

Master Of The Seas is another five-year-old with bold claims for victory, with the Godolphin charge carrying more weight than the other favourite in the race. Charlie Appleby will hope this is one of several weekend winners and the horse comes into the clash after three outings in Meydan which could stand the runner in good stead.

Aldaary turned out at Newmarket in the last outing and it was a hot race on the July course at the beginning of this month. Over seven furlongs, the 5/2 favourite could only finish fourth although perhaps the horse needed an outing after a long lay-off. Let’s not forget that there was an impressive showing in the Pertemps Network Spring Trophy Stakes at Haydock.

Jimi Hendrix certainly merits plenty of respect after a strong performance at Royal Ascot, with the 22/1 shot landing a victory in the Royal Hunt Cup. This came after a slightly disappointing eighth place in the Howden Handicap, with the Ralph Beckett-trained runner struggling to justify the 4/1 odds on that occasion.
