2026 Cheshire Oaks Betting Tips
There are nine runners set to line up in the Cheshire Oaks and I'm The One could be the one to beat. There's not a huge amount of form to feed from, although the even money shot was able to score at Newbury fairly recently. The favourite bagged a victory in a Maiden Fillies' Stakes when winning by six lengths although there are other strong contenders.
Amelia Earhart has more tangible form and Aidan O'Brien may well saddle her to victory. The latest effort was a victory at Leopardstown where the 4/6 favourite obliged over the distance of a mile. It was a seven-length success after a fourth-placed finish in a field of nine at September. The latter came as the 3/1 favourite in the Weld Park Stakes over seven furlongs.
A few weeks before this contest came a runner-up effort at Doncaster, with the 2/1 favourite being beaten by one in a Maiden Fillies' Stakes over seven furlongs. At the end of July, the horse also hit the frame over seven furlongs. However, O'Brien could still win with his second string and Sugar Island is a solid competitor.
In October, there was a success at the Curragh when obliging over a mile on heavy ground, with Brilliant Star returning for the new season with a victory. It was a straightforward win as the massive odds-on favourite at Yarmouth when travelling well over a mile, three and a half furlongs. This came after a solid showing on the all-weather at Newcastle.
2025 Cheshire Oaks Betting Tips
There’s little to separate Giselle and Minnie Hauk in the betting market for the Cheshire Oaks. The pair are trained by Aidan O’Brien and the former was last seen performing well at the Curragh back in October. However, the 10/11 favourite was beaten into third place and that came after a victory against fifteen other runners at the Irish track in the same month.
Minnie Hauk could go well and finished the previous season with a victory. That came at Leopardstown in the middle of October when the filly was able to beat a field of eight runners although the victory was only by half a length. Previously to that, there had been a smart showing at Cork when finishing second in a field of fifteen horses.
That’s Amore could be a viable challenge to the first two in the betting. Ralph Beckett saddles a horse that was successful last season. That came at Newbury at the end of October where the 11/10 favourite was able to oblige by six lengths. Over one mile on heavy ground, the contender was able to make all and land the spoils.
Beckett has a couple of other decent contenders. Likealot has only been seen once and that came on the all-weather at Chelmsford, with the 6/5 favourite fending off six other challengers to land the spoils. Revoir also obliged last time out and that came at Nottingham in the middle of October to secure a victory.
2024 Cheshire Oaks Tips
Dylan Browne McMonagle is on board Galileo Dame and there was plenty to like about the horse’s performance when the runner last made an appearance. The horse was triumphant at Leopardstown when beating six other horses over one mile and two furlongs. This victory was achieved on heavy ground and there could be more to come here.
The horse previously performed well at Gowran Park when finishing second out of eleven runners, with Forest Fairy claiming the spoils at Wolverhampton in the latest outing. Over one mile and four furlongs, the runner was able to score a six-length victory and a repeat of that performance could help Rossa Ryan steer home this charge.
Port Fairy lines up in a bid to secure a second successive victory, with Aidan O’Brien training a horse who landed a win at Dundalk Racecourse. Sent off at odds of 7/2, Ryan Moore was able to steer home a charge that claimed a victory by a neck. Beeley could also put in a solid showing for John & Thady Gosden and looks like each-way value.
Lasting Love and Seaward are not without a chance, with the former running for Andrew Balding and the horse finished third out of fourteen runners at Newbury in April, with the latter returning to the track after 200 days and the three-year-old is the only horse in the field that actually has an official rating.
2023 Cheshire Oaks Tips
We’re raring to go for the Cheshire Oaks and there’s an increasing amount of hype surrounding the market leader for this race. Savethelastdance was impressive a month ago and running up to a similar mark might well see the horse in the winners’ enclosure for the second time this season. The victory at Leopardstown in early April meant that he was immediately installed as favourite to win.
Wayne Lordan was on board a horse that wasn’t anticipated to deliver a victory in a Fillies Maiden although she was able to oblige at 20/1 and won by two lengths against Boogie Woogie and Azazat who were the market leaders. There could be more to come from this horse who has a mares’ allowance although Luckin Brew could be a good alternative.
Frankie Dettori will be on board a runner who was fairly impressive as a two-year-old, with the horse last seen finishing second at Pontefract back in the middle of October when losing by a neck to favourite Local Dynasty, although there was previously a win on the all-weather at Kempton in early September in a fillies’ race.
Ashtanga is another talented filly who was triumphant at Nottingham last autumn and there could be plenty of progression from a mare who is trained by Freddie & Martyn Meade. The horse won by nearly three lengths and the trip should suit a horse who is ridden by Oisin Murphy, with Sirona another one for the shortlist.
