2025 Prospect Stakes Betting Tips
Rapid Force is difficult to judge based on just one appearance so far. There was a victory on the all-weather on a debut, although the Godolphin charge only had two horses to beat over six furlongs. Indeed, the horse has been installed as favourite partly down to the fact that he’s trained by Charlie Appleby. It could well be worth looking for alternatives.
Aspect Island is vastly more experienced considering that there have been five runs so far this season. James Owen saddles a runner who was last seen finishing third out of ten runners at Newmarket in the Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes. That came after a Yarmouth success in the middle of September.
Spanish Waltz has been able to secure a runner-up spot before a win in the most recent encounter. Ralph Beckett might get another tune out of a two-year-old who was seen triumphing at Pontefract towards the end of September. The horse began proceedings by finishing runner-up at Ffos Las Racecourse over seven and a half furlongs.
Lam Yai has run five times this season although only one of those efforts have resulted in a victory. Karl Burke’s charge was able to finish second last time out at Ayr, with just a neck separating the runner from Catch The Moon in the Firth of Clyde. There was a victory at Carlisle back in June and also went well at Ripon and Naas.

Esquire has had two outings in a short career to date, with the horse kicking off with a victory in a Maiden Stakes race at Hamilton. Then came a second-placed finish in the Coral Rockingham Stakes at York Racecourse, with the runner losing by less than a length against accomplished favourite Purosangue and he looks a worthy favourite.
Battle Cry runs for trainer Aidan O’Brien and the two-year-old was last seen finishing second on the all-weather track at Dundalk Racecourse. That was in a listed race over seven furlongs, with this coming after a credible fourth placed finish in the Betfred Flying Scotsman Stakes which was over seven furlongs.
Ballymount Boy can’t be completely ruled out and we shouldn’t dismiss the horse simply because he finished eighth out of ten runners last time out. After all, this was a race at Longchamp where the competition was fierce in the Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere. Previously to this was a second placed finish in the Betfred Acomb Stakes at York.
Al Shahab Storm was sent off as the 1/2 favourite in the recent Novice Stakes race at Goodwood before obliging, with this coming after finishing second over seven furlongs in a Maiden Stakes race at Newmarket. On that occasion, there was a distance of a head separating the horse from winner Accumulate.
