John of Gaunt Stakes Betting Odds

Saturday 30 May 2026 · Haydock Park · By Matthew Glazier

The John Of Gaunt Stakes is a Group 3 encounter and it promises to be an intriguing betting heat at Haydock Park. There’s not a huge amount between the leading contenders in terms of price. Perhaps Audience could be the one to beat, although the John & Thady Gosden-trained charge was only able to finish ninth last time out.

Alyanaabi was successful on a seasonal debut, with the four-year-old triumphing for Owen Burrows last time out. There’s an older adversary in the form of Kinross and the eight-year-old is carrying a good deal more weight. Ralph Beckett has seen his horse perform well over the years and perhaps a last hurrah at Haydock is on the cards.

2025 John Of Gaunt Stakes Betting Tips

Audience could be the one to back when it comes to the John Of Gaunt Stakes. There’s a cracking card at Haydock Park on Saturday including this Group 3 encounter. The six-year-old was only able to finish ninth at Meydan at the beginning of April, although this was a highly competitive race. There was no impression in the final throes of the Al Quoz Sprint.

Back in October, Audience was able to finish 12th out of twenty runners on Champions Day, with the horse performing solidly in a competitive Sprint Stakes. There was a success at Goodwood towards the end of July, with an impressive four-length success coming over seven furlongs in a Group 2 encounter.

Alyanaabi could be the pick of the four-year-olds in this race. Owen Burrows trains a horse who was able to score at Haydock Park earlier this month. Sent off as the even money favourite, there was everything to like about the triumph in the Pertemps Network Spring Trophy Stakes. It was a smart way to bounce back after a disappointing effort at York.

Kinross comes back for another season and it’s interesting whether the eight-year-old can retain the sort of form that has seen the horse land some excellent wins. Last October, there was a strong effort to finish seventh out of twenty at Ascot, with that coming after a flashy effort at Longchamp where the same horse was second in the the Group One Qatar Prix de la Foret.


2023 John Of Gaunt Stakes Tips

Aldaary has produced some impressive performances during his career although a lengthy absence away from the track means that we can’t be completely sure of how the horse will perform. The five-year-old was last seen winning the 2022 Spring Trophy Stakes at Haydock Park, with the horse having won the Balmoral Handicap over one mile.

Angel Bleu has a strong chance of securing a success, with Ralph Beckett training a runner who was victorious last time out. The horse won in mid-May when scoring at Haydock Park, with this being another Spring Trophy Stakes win although this was the 2023 renewal and we will therefore see the previous two winners of this race lining up.

Jumby was out of his depth at betting odds of 50/1 when running in the Lockinge Stakes, with the seven furlong potentially more to the horse’s liking. It’s been five races without a victory for this runner, with El Caballo also bidding to return to the winners’ enclosure. There were off-colour showings at Ascot and Doncaster after a previous succession of wins.

The Astrologist finished well down the order in the Duke of York Clipper Stakes although perhaps the horse has each-way claims for this weekend encounter, while the horse was an impressive second in the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan Racecourse and there could be a strong performance from a horse who should be suited by the going and distance.
