Saturday 5 September 2026 · Haydock Park · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

A maximum of seventeen runners will line up in the 2026 Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes, with the horses having a strong test of speed over six furlongs. Comanche Brave has been installed as favourite, with Donnacha O’Brien’s charge having landed a couple of wins from the previous three efforts. However, there are plenty of lively chances within the field.

Almeraq has been in the winners’ enclosure this term on two occasions, with Coppull also worth a look considering that Clive Cox’s three-year-old has claimed two victories and could be open to further progress. Satono Reve is a Japanese raider who will interest plenty of punters, with Big Mojo also capable of running a big race at Haydock.

Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes Betting Tips

We’re sweet on the chances of Almeraq when it comes to the Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes. The four-year-old returned for the new season with a slender triumph at Salisbury in May. Then came a striking performance at Royal Ascot. Sent off at odds of 25/1, the horse produced a speedy effort to land the spoils in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. A repeat of that display could be enough to get the job done.

More recently, Almeraq underperformed at Newmarket in the Dubai July Cup Stakes, finishing ninth in a field of eleven. It comes down to whether we’re prepared to forgive that effort, with Comanche Brave able to secure the spoils on that occasion. The bookies have installed the Donnacha O’Brien-trained horse as the favourite to win this encounter.

There was a win for the market leader at the Curragh when obliging as the 7/4 favourite back in May. Then came a seventh-placed finish in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes although there was everything to like about that July Cup win. It was a one-length success as an 11/1 shot when fending off a competitive field and perhaps there’s some each-way value there.

Coppull is an interesting competitor who scored recently for Clive Cox, with that success coming at Newbury in the middle of August. The charge was sent off at 15/2 in the Hungerford Stakes before obliging over seven furlongs. Satono Reve was somewhat underwhelming in the July Cup as favourite but also has solid credentials for this competitive race.
