2025 Constantine Handicap Betting Odds at York racecourse

Saturday, 23 August 2025

The Sky Bet Constantine Handicap is a captivating encounter, with Elmonjed having one of the highest official rating. There has been a runner-up performance and a victory in the previous three showings. James Ferguson saddles Jubilee Walk and there was a runner-up spot in a previous outing, with Pocklington also one for the shortlist.

Two Tribes has claimed back to back successes and the Richard Spencer-trained runner has the highest official rating in the field. Double Rush opened the campaign with two wins and the three-year-old could build on those victories here. At a bigger price, Commanche Falls is worthy of consideration along with Jakajaro.

2025 Constantine Handicap Betting Tips

Elmonjed is one of the horses that head the betting for the Constantine Handicap. The runner should go well over six furlongs, although he could only finish nineteenth at Goodwood last time out. That meant being nearly ten lengths off the pace in the Stewards’ Cup, with that coming after an impressive win at York Racecourse.

That success came in the Sky Bet Dash Handicap, with this coming over six furlongs. However, Jubilee Walk could be knocking on the door as far as a victory is concerned. The James Ferguson-trained four-year-old performed well at the Knavesmire last time out when finishing second out of nineteen and just behind Elmonjed.

Previously to that, there was a third-placed finish at Chester when finishing third out of nine horses. Perhaps Pocklington can make an impression after finishing second on the all-weather before landing fifth place at York in the same race as the above. Two Tribes was a brilliant winner at Goodwood at the beginning of August and has to be considered.

That came in the Stewards’ Cup where there was a success over six furlongs. There was plenty to like about a win by over two lengths, with this following a surprise success in the International Handicap. Over seven furlongs, the horse produced the goods at 25/1 and that came after a third-placed finish in the Dubai Racing Club Handicap at Newmarket.

2023 Constantine Handicap Tips

There’s a big field set to line up in the 2023 Constantine Handicap on Saturday 26 August, with any number of horses capable of landing the major prize money. This includes Aberama Gold who has secured four different victories this season for trainer David O’Meara, with the six-year-old going up against a stablemate.

Summerghand appears to be coming back into form based on recent outings and it wouldn’t be a big surprise if the nine-year-old went close considering the overall track record. In the William Hill Great St Wilfrid Handicap, the horse was sent off as the 9/2 favourite before being narrowly beaten by a head against Sophia’s Starlight.

Gale Force Maya is an interesting contender who was successful at York and Ayr last autumn, although victories have been scarce this season. Michael Dods will hope for a change of fortune and the horse was last seen finishing fourth at Pontefract when being sent off as the 4/1 favourite in a fillies’ stakes.

Orazio was a full sixteen lengths behind Aberama Gold when finishing down the order in the Stewards’ Cup at Glorious Goodwood meeting, with the runner sent off as the 100/30 favourite before flattering to deceive. However, some punters might be prepared to give the horse another chance and there was a solid showing in the Wokingham Stakes.
