Aidan O’Brien’s charge is a solid contender, although Maltese Cross is also a big challenger.

The Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes takes pride of place on the Haydock Racecourse card on Saturday 5 September. It’s a six furlong dash featuring a large field, with Comanche Brave bidding to win for the third time in four races. However, Almeraq has been a smart performer for William Haggas this season and could be a smarter each-way shout looking at the latest odds.

The Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes takes place at Leopardstown Racecourse over a mile and two furlongs. There could be as many as twenty-eight runners lining up for this Group One encounter and Item looks a decent pick.

The Lonsdale Cup Stakes was won by Trawlerman twelve months ago and this horse looks like the one to beat for the 2026 renewal. John & Thady Gosden saddle a runner who is a seasoned campaigner at the age of eight, although the charge has only landed two runner-up spot this season. Perhaps Caballo Del Mar could be a better option at a bigger price.

The Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes is the third race at York Racecourse on Friday 21 August, with the runners and riders competing over six furlongs.

There are eight runners set to line up in the Coral Glorious Stakes, with this being a Group 3 contest over a mile and four furlongs. Opportunity has won the previous two encounters and we might see the four-year-old deliver once again. However, Al Aasy is a nine-year-old with a strong track record and will be sent off as the favourite to win.
30/07/2026 17:30
The Highclere Castle Gin Summer Handicap is the first race on Saturday’s Glorious Goodwood card, with a maximum of fourteen runners lining up in an encounter over a mile and six furlongs.

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.
