Friday 31 July 2026 · Goodwood · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

There could be as many as twenty horses battling it out for the prize money when it comes to the Coral Golden Mile. Extremely Zain is a definite contender providing that William Haggas commits his talented three-year-old to this encounter, although Indalo has some strong form and may well end up looking like an excellent each-way betting option.

Coral Golden Mile Betting Tips

Mezcala is a likely runner in the Coral Golden Mile, with Jack Channon training a horse who began the season with a victory at Doncaster. This March performance was eye-catching considering that twenty-one other horses were beaten, with the 11/2 joint-favourite securing the spoils in the Spring Cup Handicap and a comfortable victory was landed.

More recently, there was a Royal Ascot success where the 9/2 joint-favourite in the Buckingham Palace Stakes. Having dwelt at the start of this seven furlong showdown, the horse produced the goods over a short distance. In between these two successes, there was a third placed finish at Newbury in May over a mile.

Extremely Zain is a top contender if the horse lines up here. William Haggas has seen his runner land the spoils on two consecutive occasions this term. The June victory at York Racecourse saw the horse score by two lengths. That came as the 2/1 favourite, with that coming after a Newbury outing when the runner charged home at odds-on over the same distance.

Indalo, Blue Brother and Beagle Bay are other horses for the shortlist. Roger Varian trains the former and the five-year-old was able to drive home last time out. That was an early July win at Sandown which came after finishing third in a Royal Ascot race. In the Royal Hunt Cup, the horse produced a game performance and we’re expecting this to be a popular pick.
