Old Rowley Cup Handicap 2026 Result

Old Rowley Cup Betting Tips

We think Hoseki looks a strong each-way pick when it comes to the Old Rowley Cup. The race takes place at Newmarket Racecourse on Friday 9 October, with the three-year-old producing the goods at Haydock a month ago. The 5/4 favourite was impressive in a fillies’ handicap, with that coming after a slightly disappointing August effort at Ascot.

Previously, the same horse had won at the same course in July, scoring as the 13/8 favourite when beating six other runners in the field. There was a June win at Chester when obliging as the 5/2 favourite in a fillies’ handicap, with the winning run starting at Redcar the month before and we’re happy to side with the horse at a juicy each-way price.

Study Of Words may end up going off as favourite, with Charlie Appleby’s charge having secured third place on a seasonal debut. The 5/4 favourite finished well off the pace at Newmarket and then headed to Doncaster to disappoint over a mile, six and a half furlongs. However, the horse responded well with a strong effort at Ascot in July.

Turty Tree catches the eye and the Andrew Balding-trained charge has taken two victories from four attempts this season. In early September, there was an Ascot success when stunning the crowds with a 20/1 victory. Over a mile and four furlongs, there was a hardy battle where the horse was able to squeeze through to secure the spoils.
