Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The first horse racing tip of the day is WHITEHAVEN at 10/1 e/w* (betting odds recorded 21:50 GMT on July 8th 2021 at Bet365).

Three was a good campaign from him last year and he was coming along nicely on some heavy ground.

So the softer conditions at Chester on the weekend could help him out. He has gotten a reappearance run under his belt, finishing in midfield in a Windsor handicap.

Whitehaven should come on better for that effort.

One of the other big threats is likely to be GROUP ONE POWER as he carries a 5lb claimer. That’s a big boost.

There has been very good consistent form even in defeat for Group One Power who doesn’t look far away from a return to winning ways.

SKY DEFENDER could be worth a look as well. He didn’t get a proper chance at Epsom a month ago. The handicapper has given him a big chance for this one.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a competitive handicap from Ascot to look at next. There are strong claims right through this field.

WITHOUT REVENGE has appeal as a 4/1 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 21:50 GMT on July 8th 2021 at Bet365).

He is a previous course winner so that gives her further credit. Without Revenge was last seen at Royal Ascot over course and distance.

He had a chance in the Golden Gates Handicap form a whopping 10lb higher than he will be for Friday’s run.

That effort from Without Revenge was decent, decent enough to suggest that he will find this easier. His latest win was on his penultimate run at Newmarket in May.

PASSION AND GLORY looks like a threat after a positive win at Lingfield on his latest effort. After a poor winter in the Middle East, that was a great return from the low-mileage gelding.

Another who could have a strong say is DATA PROTECTION as he looks to handle a 5lb rise. That has come about following an impressive win at Newmarket on his latest run.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We step up to the Group competition next for today’s racing tips. We are sticking with the favourite in this one.

VADREAM is the 5/2 favourite and has looked very good this season. She did appear in this season’s 1000 Guineas in which she never found herself.

She looked more of a sprinter than a stayer in that one. But she followed up with a very good place at Group 3 Jersey Stakes.

We think that the drop back to the 6f trip is the key here. That should pull more out of her and with her last three have been at Group 3, we think Vadream is the one to beat.

LIGHT REFRAIN can’t totally be counted out of this. She was behind Vadream at Ascot the last time out. But on her penultimate run, she did produce a fine run at Haydock.

The other for the shortlist is MO CELITA who has completed a five-timer this season. She’s been in superb form and was last seen at Ascot over 5f last month.

This could be a good move by connections throwing her into this level.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

PRINCE ALEX is sour 15/2 horse racing tip for this one* (betting odds recorded 21:50 GMT on July 8th 2021 at Bet365).

He had such a brilliant time of this last season and he doesn’t look to have hit his ceiling yet.

There has not been a win for Prince Alex on his last two, but the latest run he has was easily his best.

He was second at Goodwood on his latest, well ahead of the rest of the pack. The one he was beaten by has since gone on to win again.

Prince Alex is on a great mark here for this Bet365 Trophy run on Friday and can pick up the win.

There are other strong claims of course in this one. GLOBAL STORM is one of those who won his penultimate run which was on the Rowley Course.

On his latest, Global Storm was third behind Amtiyaz in a Royal Ascot handicap.

We do have to fully consider IMTIYAZ for the shortlist as well. The son of Frankel has won two of his last three, the latest at Royal Ascot.

That score at Ascot was on the second appearance for him on the turf and he showed a great temperament to hold on to his position in it.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

ALCOHOL FREE has big claims here after producing a fine win at the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on her latest.

She had a couple of these behind her as well, beating Snow Lantern and Mother Earth. Is Alcohol Free done progressing yet?

Probably not and that’s two wins in her last three having claimed the Fred Darling as well. Alcohol Free is a 7/2 punt* (betting odds recorded 21:50 GMT on July 8th 2021 at Bet365).

SNOW LANTERN, who split Alcohol Free and Mother Earth at the Coronation Stakes looks like such a good prospect.

That was only the fourth race track appearance from her and she handled herself well against those two former Group 1 winners. There has to be more from her.

Not out of this either is LADY BOWTHORPE who was at Royal Ascot in the Duke Of Cambridge.

She was beaten by Indie Angel there, but this track looks better suited to her turning the tables on that rival.

Earlier this season Lady Bowthorpe had the beating of some of these in winning the Dahlia and went close in the Lockinge as well. Strong claims are there.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are with the favourite SANDRINE at 15/8 for this one* (betting odds recorded 21:50 GMT on July 8th 2021 at Bet365).

In May she opened with a very good score on her debut. That was at Kempton and went further to pick up the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.

That’s some form that no one else in the field can match really, so we expect more progress from Sandrine.

OSCULA warrants respect for having missed out on a hattrick last time out. That was in Albany in which she finished third. Still, it continued some good progress from her.

The other for the shortlist as well will be HELLO YOU who was the Albany runner-up. That followed up a wide-margin winning debut from her at Wolverhampton.

She should be in the frame given the Albany form.
