July Cup 2027 Betting Odds

Saturday 10 July 2027 · Newmarket · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

The July Cup is one of the highlight races at Newmarket Racecourse, with this being scheduled to take place on Saturday 11 July. It's a Group One encounter which could be super competitive, with Venetian Sun having landed consecutive wins. Karl Burke saddles a horse who is clearly open to more improvement at the age of three.

However, Almeraq has recovered from a fall at the end of the previous campaign. William Haggas saddles a runner who has claimed successive wins this term. The four-year-old is the top weight horse but still represents each-way value. Japanese raider Satono Reve could also make an impression and arrives in the UK with good form.

July Cup Betting Tips

Almeraq has done everything right since reappearing for the new season. The four-year-old performed well at Royal Ascot last time out and a repeat could be enough to land the spoils here. The horse was sent off at a massive 25/1 in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes before claiming a victory against the odds. It was a stunning success for the William Haggas-trained charge.

Previously to that, there was a success at Salisbury over six furlongs when Almeraq was able to get up by a neck at odds of 7/2. There was also a win at Ayr back in July, with the horse winning by five lengths as the 2/1 favourite. It appears that a fall at York in September has done no lasting damage and we're expecting a bold run.

Venetian Sun is a three-year-old with bags of promise. We enjoyed the way that the horse went about his business at the Royal Ascot meeting to claim a victory. The 11/8 favourite delivered to win a Group One encounter in the form of the Commonwealth Cup. That came after a three length success at Haydock towards the end of May.

Satono Reve will return back from Japan for another bite of the cherry. The seven-year-old ran well at Royal Ascot over six furlongs to finish narrowly behind Almeraq. Perhaps the horse can go one better this time around, with the charge having run well at Sha Tin at massive odds, with the connections bidding to land an England Group One success.
