2025 Middleton Fillies' Stakes Betting Tips

There are twelve runners set to line up in the Middleton Fillies' Stakes, with over half of the field having a decent chance of landing a victory. Kalpana has done enough to cement her place as the betting favourite to win. Over one mile, two and a half furlongs, the horse should go well and Andrew Balding will be confident that his charge can perform well.

Last time out, the horse obliged as the favourite to win at Ascot in October, landing a two-length success in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. That was a notable success, with the runner having won at Kempton on the all-weather before this. There was also a July triumph at Hamilton last July and the horse will be bidding for a fourth straight win.

See The Fire finished fifth last time out, with Andrew Balding training a horse that couldn’t oblige as favourite in the Gordon Richards Stakes, with the filly weakening in the dying embers of that encounter. There was a victory at York back in August, with that success coming in the Group 3 Strensall Stakes over one mile and one furlong.

Nakheel was successful at Doncaster back in September, with the horse winning the Betfred Park Hill Fillies’ Stakes. The four-year-old performed well over one mile, six and a half furlongs, with the runner previously landing third place in the Galtres Stakes over one mile and four furlongs, with solid efforts coming at Goodwood and Newmarket.

2024 Middleton Fillies' Stakes Tips

There are seven horses set to line up in the Middleton Fillies' Stakes over one mile, two and a half furlongs on Thursday. Free Wind and Bluestocking were both last seen running in the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes, with the latter having finished second on that occasion, while the former was fifth in the same race.

Free Wind had previously ran at Longchamp when finishing thirteenth out of fifteen runners in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, with the horse having won this race a year ago. Since that victory, the horse has ran in a number of high-profile encounters including the Yorkshire Oaks where the runner was able to finish second.

Bluestocking regularly seems to hit the frame and the Ralph Beckett-trained runner was second at Chester before finishing runner-up at Ascot last time out. The only question mark is the fact that the filly has yet to land a victory in any of her past six encounters, although the bookmakers certainly respect her chances here.

Sapphire Seas has an impressive track record and there were four straight victories at Wolverhampton, Kempton, Haydock and Yarmouth. The latest performance was at Meydan in the Balanchine when sent off as the 8/15 favourite over one mile and one furlong. Infinite Cosmos returns after a long absence and comes next in the betting.

2023 Middleton Fillies' Stakes Tips

Free Wind has won five of her past six encounters, with the horse most recently winning the bet365 Lancashire Oaks, with this coming over one mile and four furlongs on soft ground. The horse won by over two lengths with Robert Havlin on board and it will now be Frankie Dettori who provides the ride, with the horse having previously landed notable wins in 2021.

The filly won the Prix Minerve at Deauville in August, while there was also a success in the Group 2 Park Hill Stakes, with Sea Silk Road potentially the horse that will give the favourite most to think about. After a long absence away from the track, there’s an element of unpredictability about this horse although previous form has been strong.

The horse was third at Newmarket in the Dubai Stakes over one mile and four furlongs, while the William Haggas-trained runner was able to win a listed race at Goodwood back in May over one mile and two furlongs. The only question mark is whether she would be suited to softer ground considering that win came with cut in the ground.

Aristia won at Deauville in his past horse race, with the Richard Hannon-trained charge was able to oblige over one mile and two furlongs. This was a success in the Darley Prix Jean Romanet and this Group 1 encounter featured plenty of other runners, with the horse previously pulling off an impressive run when finishing second in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood.
