Calandagan was the winner of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes twelve months ago and the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained charge could once again beat the field in this Ascot showdown. The biggest threat may come from Japanese raider Masquerade Ball, with Benvenuto Cellini also a lively contender who could be the pick of the Aidan O’Brien-trained runners.

There’s a typically wide open look about the Moet & Chandon International Handicap field, with a maximum of twenty-nine runners lining up for this seven-furlong showdown at Ascot. It’s a Class 2 encounter and Extremely Zain has been passing all assignments thus far. Mezcala has claimed two victories and we’re also intrigued by Forty Years On.

The market is taking shape for Saturday’s Irish Oaks, with Earth Shot and Thundering On heading the betting for this encounter. The former is trained by William Haggas and she’s had a strong campaign, although the latter has registered two eye-catching wins. Johanna Walsh could run a blinder for Joseph O’Brien, while father Aidan has Diamond Necklace and Amelia Earhart trading at single figure odds.

The Juddmonte Summer Mile Stakes is the second race out of seven at Ascot on Saturday, with this being a Group 2 showdown featuring eight runners. More Thunder has clocked up successive runner-up spots this term, with Zeus Olympios having also run well. However, No Lunch could follow up some solid all-weather form with a victory here.
10/07/2026 11:00
There are two horses trading at a significantly shorter price than the rest of the field when it comes to the John Smith's Racing Handicap. This is a one-mile showdown, with Cerulean Bay and Cosi Bello battling it out for major honours, with the latter looking more of a standout pick. Apiarist, The Lost King and First Principle are other contenders.
10/07/2026 10:45
There’s a short-distance showdown in the form of the John Smith's City Walls Stakes on Saturday, with York Racecourse hosting an encounter over five furlongs. American Affair and Washington Heights are featuring at the head of the betting market, although Redorange could be a better each-way selection.
10/07/2026 10:30
The Boodles Superlative Stakes could be all about two horses, with Abraham Lincoln and Al Hudaiba set to battle it out over seven furlongs in this Newmarket encounter. The former is trained by Aidan O’Brien and is trading at odds-on, although the latter could be better value at the prices. Pikachu is the other runner who can make an impact.

The John Smith's Silver Cup Stakes features six runners and four of them have a realistic chance of success in Saturday’s showdown.

There’s a quality Newmarket racecard on Thursday, with the Bahrain Trophy Stakes being the first encounter of the day. It’s a Group 3 tussle over one mile and five furlongs, with the ground getting firmer ahead of the race. Ancient Egypt is one of the favourites although Del Maro could be the horse to back based on previous form.
07/07/2026 13:45
Thunder Call has landed two victories this season and the William Haggas-trained charge could be well handicapped for this showdown over six furlongs. The horse has landed two successes already this term, although Red Spells Danger is another one to consider after a spate of finishing first or second. Man Of Vision could also go well for Godolphin.
07/07/2026 13:45
There are six horses set to go to post in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes, with the runners and riders battling it out over a mile and four furlongs. Rebel’s Romance was a winner on his seasonal debut but we prefer the chances of Convergent. Karl Burke’s four-year-old has a collection of wins to his name and can return to the winners’ enclosure in this encounter.
07/07/2026 13:45
We have an odds-on favourite for the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, with this bet365-sponsored race for fillies looking like it could be all about one horse. Libertango has notched two successive wins and George Boughey’s charge has bold claims considering the quality of the field. Senorita Bonita could be the toughest competitor from the rest of the field.
07/07/2026 13:30
The William Hill Summer Stakes is the second race on Friday’s York racecard, with Spicy Marg operating as favourite. Michael Bell’s horse has ran well this season, although there are bigger-priced contenders who can make a splash. Flora Of Bermuda has been in the winners’ enclosure this term although Royal Fixation could be a nice each-way price.
07/07/2026 12:00
The Kingdom of Bahrain July Stakes is the second race on Thursday at the Newmarket July meeting, with the runners and riders battling it out over six furlongs. Abraham Lincoln runs for Aidan O’Brien and won on his debut, with Inner City Blues looking like an attractive option after a victory to his name. Adaay Of Scarlett could be the best each-way option.
Our horse racing tips are always carefully researched. For each race, we look at every runner irrespective of their odds. Naturally, we take form into account and that also applies to previous seasons. Our team can also determine which horses might be stepping up or down in class which is important.
Our daily horse racing tips often include handicaps. Therefore, we'll look at the weight allowance for each horse. The handicapper's mark will always have a bearing on the race outcome. It's also vital to establish the going before publishing our free racing tips. Some horses will always prefer the ground on which they're travelling.
Trainer and jockey information is also taken into account when creating racing tips today. Other important factors are course and distance. Many of our racing tips are for horses who tick both of these boxes. As the race gets nearer, price movement is also taken into consideration.
