Andrew Balding’s charge has made a solid start to her career, although it’s a competitive Group 2 showdown. Libertango has two wins before a second-placed finish last time out for George Boughey.

Sky Bet Lowther Stakes Betting Tips

Moonrise looks like the value pick when it comes to the Sky Bet Lowther Stakes. Her first outing involved a victory on the all-weather at Kempton Park, with the horse then coming ever so close to securing the spoils at Royal Ascot. After being sent off at odds of 66/1, the charge was able to run a blinder over six furlongs before being pipped on the line.

There was a return to the winners’ enclosure at Ascot last month when the runner was able to succeed in the Princess Margaret Japan Cup Stakes. She was just about able to hold on although these performances suggest that an each-way bet can be taken with confidence here. Andrew Balding’s charge is trading as the third favourite in the current betting market.

Libertango was able to score a consecutive double to kick off her career to date, with George Boughey saddling a horse that opened with a victory at Leicester before a Royal Ascot success in June. The filly was unable to make it three wins on the bounce when being demoted into second in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes.

The horse that won on that day was Senorita Bonita, with the Simon & Ed Crisford training a runner who could well claim another big success here. The horse ran really well at Royal Ascot when finishing two lengths behind Victorious in the Queen Mary Stakes, with the runner having to carry three additional pounds compared to her main rivals.
