Huxley Stakes 2027 Betting Odds
There are two four-year-olds heading the betting market for the Huxley Stakes. Lambourn returns after a lengthy absence and will bid to rack up more wins as a four-year-old. Aidan O'Brien is sure to taste some success at the Chester May meeting, although Bay City Roller is a credible alternative and George Scott saddles a horse who won last time out.

King's Gambit is a five-year-old who merits respect, with Harry Charlton saddling a horse who has landed consecutive runner-up spots. Royal Rhyme is an older adversary who could also go close in this Group Two encounter and Starford has already been in the winners' enclosure this term and looks set to be a popular each-way selection.

Out of the nine horses entered in the Huxley Stakes, at least five have the potential to land a victory. Lambourn should go well over a mile, two and a half furlongs, with Aidan O'Brien's four-year-old having finished fourth in the St Leger last time out. Previously to this, there was a win in the Chester Vase Stakes, along with that Epsom Derby success.
Sent off at odds of 13/2, the horse performed brilliantly over one mile and four furlongs. It was a success by nearly four lengths and there was also a notable triumph at the Curragh. The bookies were wary enough to make the charge odds-on on that occasion in the Irish Derby, with a below-par effort in the Voltigeur Stakes leaving a question mark.
Bay City Roller is another four-year-old with bold claims. George Scott saddles a runner who was last seen winning in Munich back in November. That was in the Group One Grosser Allianz Preis von Bayern where a seven-length success was achieved over one mile and four furlongs. It came after a relatively solid effort at Longchamp and there could be more to come.
King's Gambit returned for the season with a runner-up spot and the five-year-old was a smart performer at Newmarket last time out. Harry Charlton's charge finished second in the Earl of Sefton Stakes at 8/1 and that came after finishing off the previous campaign with a runner-up spot at Ayr when outperforming his odds over one mile and two furlongs.
2025 Huxley Stakes Betting Tips
The Foxes is trading as the short-priced favourite to win the Huxley Stakes on Friday, with the horse having finished second last time out. The five-year-old was a length off the pace in a field of eight runners at Al Uqda, with that coming over one mile, three and a half furlongs. Previously to that, the horse ran well at Sha Tin when finishing fourth in a field of eleven.
The Foxes was a winner on the all-weather at Newcastle in November, with the bookies thinking this horse is the one to beat. However, Space Legend boasted some solid displays last term and the William Haggas-trained runner should be suited to the trip over one mile, two and a half furlongs.
The most eye-catching display came in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot where the horse finished second behind Calandagan, with that coming after another runner-up placing at Goodwood. Certain Lad is an interesting contender, not least because he’s nine-years-old and was third in the previous showing when running at Longchamp last month.
That was in the Prix d’Harcourt which was a Group 2 contest over one mile and two furlongs, with the horse previously winning at the French track in a Group 3 encounter in September. Perhaps Bolster can make an impression and the latest effort came at Newmarket at the beginning of November which was the second win on the bounce.
2024 Huxley Stakes Tips
Passenger has the potential to go well for trainer Sir Michael Stoute when it comes to the Huxley Stakes, with a couple of victories being landed last season. The latest success came at Windsor in August, with five other runners being beaten on that occasion, although the horse could only finish twelfth out of a field of fourteen in the Epsom Derby.
The same horse had previously been sent off as the 9/2 favourite in the Dubai Dante Stakes before finishing fourth in this encounter, with the season having opened with a win in the bet365 Wood Ditton Maiden Stakes. Perhaps Israr can produce a solid run of his own, with the five-year-old looking like a decent each-way contender.
The horse has the highest rating out of any runner in the field, with the charge having last been seen finishing third out of seven in the Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown Park towards the end of April. Last year, the horse performed well when finishing second in the Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot over one mile and four furlongs.
Hans Andersen was a winner last time out and the four-year-old will be bidding to build on that performance when it comes to this race. The horse was sent off as the 4/6 favourite in a six-runner race at Dundalk Racecourse before obliging with a victory, with Royal Rhyme coming next in the pecking order and the four-year-old won three times last season.
2023 Huxley Stakes Tips
Point Lonsdale heads the betting market although there’s a school of thought that the bookies want to keep this horse onside due to the fact that he’s trained by Aidan O’Brien. The horse won at The Curragh on 16 April, with the runner beating Visualisation into second place and obliging as the 6/4 favourite, with this taking place over one mile and two furlongs on heavy ground.
Previously to this, the horse looked out of his depth when finishing well down the order in a competitive race by the name of the 2000 Guineas. However, there was no disgrace in finishing tenth when you consider the quality of the field lining up, with this runner likely to be popular with punters despite its relative short price.
Foxes Tales is a five-year-old who was able to triumph on the all-weather surface at Kempton Park last time out, with the horse trained by Andrew Balding and there was a successful three-length win in the Magnolia Stakes, with the horse previously finishing third to Lord North at Lingfield in another competitive race.
Visualisation could be set to run well and there have been two recent victories either side of finishing second to Point Lonsdale, with Joseph O’Brien’s charge finishing less than two lengths behind the race favourite, while more recently we saw a win over one mile and two furlongs at The Curragh.
