Nunthorpe Stakes 2026 Betting Odds

Friday 21 August 2026 · York · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

There’s a Group One encounter in the form of the Coolmore City Of Troy Nunthorpe Stakes on Friday of the Ebor Festival, with the runners and riders battling it out over five furlongs. Bacio is a leading contender, with the American horse having scored twice already this season and the charge could have pace to burn against other contenders.

Rayevka has run four times this term and the French raider isn’t without a chance despite only one of these efforts resulting in a victory. American Affair was in the winners’ enclosure last time out, with Mission Central having earned three straight wins to begin the campaign and Aidan O’Brien’s charge has a serious chance at a big price.

Nunthorpe Stakes Betting Tips

Wesley Ward has a strong record when it comes to bringing horses over from the United States. This was certainly in evidence when Bacio scooped a victory in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot. The runner was able to oblige by nearly four lengths over five furlongs and now returns to England in a bid to get another big money win under the belt.

That victory was preceded by a win at Churchill Downs at the end of April, with a two-length win being enjoyed in a claiming race. There was also a victory at Del Mar back in November when the 9/10 favourite was able to enjoy a win by a significant distance. There was previously a strong effort at Santa Anita and we’re excited by the horse’s prospects.

Rayevka has run four times this season, with the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained runner having landed a victory at Longchamp in May. That was in the Prix De Saint-Georges, with that coming before a super run in the Group One King Charles III Stakes. Only a head stopped the horse from landing the spoils and he’s a credible bet here.

American Affair is the other horse trading at single figure odds, with Jim Goldie’s six-year-old having landed a victory last time out. There was a 12/1 success at the end of July when the runner dotted up at Goodwood in the Group 2 Qatar Stakes. It came after a sixth-placed effort in the John Smith’s City Walls Stakes and there should be a bold showing here.
