Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number
Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.
‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.
How the experts rate the horse’s chances:
2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.
3. Timeform view and TFR rating
Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race
5. JOCKEYS

SARANGPUR has had lots in hand when winning both turf starts for Richard Hughes and even a 10lb higher mark shouldn’t stop him if he’s as effective on the all-weather Brodie’s Boy is down to a career-low mark and gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of Maywedance.

Those with experience don’t set the bar too high so perhaps newcomers SPEED NATION and Clarity will come to the fore, with preference for the former before betting clues are known given that her stable won this with a debutante last year Meennaa is unlikely to be far away if recapturing her C&D debut form.

PLAY SMARTER
An entry in the Group 2 Lilly Langtry at Glorious Goodwood suggests ALSHERA is well regarded and she can make it 2-2 8 months on from Wolverhampton. Marianita made a promising start to her career when fourth at Newbury in the spring and can give the selection most to do ahead of Kashooda, another who showed plenty on debut.

DECLARED RUNNERS 9 2025: KINGDOM OF STARS (FR) 4 9 5 Colin Keane 9-4 (Tom Ward) 8 ran Blinkers worn by No 1. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 3, 8. Stewards Note:
BARENBOIM: Following its run on 13/6/2026 it was reported that the horse never travelled.
Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Baileys Khelstar (FR), 7-2 Nunc Est Bibendum (IRE), 13-2 Gooloogong (IRE), 7-1 Caprelo (GB), 11-1 Dust Cover (GB), One Cool Dreamer (IRE), 12-1 Kitty Foyle (IRE), 20-1 Louie’s Folly (GB), 40-1 Barenboim (GB)
The form of NUNC EST BIBENDUM’s latest Epsom second has been boosted and he’s taken to resume winning ways back on the all-weather Course specialist Caprelo should be spot on for this after his turf reappearance and is feared most ahead of Gooloogong.

PLAY SMARTER
BLUE CELESTIAL is well handicapped on the form she showed when runner-up over C&D in May and is given one more chance. Sports Day has proved expensive to follow but there have been excuses the last twice and he’s well drawn under Tom Marquand. Tony Carroll’s new recruit Thestral has shown he can be competitive from his mark in recent months. Roi de Coeur is a handicap newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.

PLATINUM PRINCE has a bit of class for this grade and might be worth chancing now refitted with the blinkers he wore to good effect last season. Relevant Range and Gladiadora are respected on the back of good efforts last time. Thapa Vc arrives in form but his draw has the potential to make life awkward.
