2025 Betfred Handicap Betting Odds at Newmarket racecourse

Saturday, 03 May 2025

There are sixteen horses entered for the Betfred Handicap on Saturday, with lots of runners having a lively chance of posting a success. More Thunder runs for William Haggas and looks the liveliest contender. He could be the pick of the four-year-olds, although Woodhay Wonder is also a horse that can go close based on his previous showing.

Aramram has been second in each of his three outings this term, with Lethal Levi having finished third last time out and might merit an each-way bet. Two Tribes is trading at a similar price and Purosangue could end up being in the final shake-up. It’s all about getting off to a fast start when it comes to this six furlong dash on drying ground.

More Thunder has been installed as the betting favourite to win the Betfred Handicap. William Haggas will be confident that his horse can feature strongly in this Newmarket showdown on Saturday. The four-year-old won at the same course in April when seeing off a field of twelve other runners and securing a winning distance of two lengths.

Woodhay Wonder was third on his seasonal debut and Tom Ward trains a runner who has just over three lengths to find on More Thunder after that race. Previously to this, the horse finished fairly low down the order in a competitive race at Ayr. However, there was a bright showing at Ascot in July after a solid effort at the royal meeting.

Aramram goes for Richard Hannon and the four-year-old was only narrowly behind More Thunder earlier this term, with that coming after finishing runner-up on the all-weather at Southwell Racecourse. Indeed, the horse was second at Kempton at the end of March and looks set to once again feature which means an each-way bet could be rewarded.

Lethal Levi could also be dangerous when it comes to this showing. Karl Burke trains a six-year-old who will be carrying more weight than any other horse in the field. That means that he’s the highest-rated runner, with the latest effort being third out of six horses at Newmarket and the 12/1 shot was only a length off the pace.
