13:35 – Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Geoffrey Freer Stakes (Newbury) – Mount Atlas
1m 5f 61y Group 3 Flat, 6 runners
Good to firm
Saturday’s televised racing gets underway at 13:35 this weekend with the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Geoffrey Freer Stakes over at Newbury.
William Haggas has the early favourite in this one with Duabi Honour, but it’s Andrew Balding’s Mount Atlas that we have our eye on. The 5-year-old bay gelding looks slightly underpriced at 10/3, especially considering his recent form.
A win last time out at York over 1m6f is enough to instil confidence in punters, but his consistent top 3 finishes should put him firmly into EW (Each Way) territory.
Date | Distance | Venue | Position |
|---|---|---|---|
11 July 2026 | 1m6f | York | 1/6 |
13 June 2026 | 1m6f | Doncaster | 3/6 |
07 May 2026 | 1m5½f | Thirsk | 2/7 |

14:10 – Betway Grey Horse Handicap (Newmarket) – Act Of Violence
5f 219y Handicap Flat, 10 runners
Good to firm
Next up, we’re heading over to Newmarket for the Betway Grey Horse Handicap – a unique format offering £20,000 for 3yo+ rated 0-85 for horses registered as grey only.
Tony Carroll’s Act Of Violence has our eye in this one – a 5-year-old grey gelding looking underpriced at 7/1. What’s most interesting to us is his last run out at Ripon last month. With a starting price of 10/3, he rocketed home in first over 6f with Silvestre De Sousa piloting.
The pair will be hoping to repeat the feat this Saturday in a sea of grey horses – but can Act Of Violence come out on top? It’s well worth an EW bet.

14:55 – William Hill Supporting MND Silver Cup Handicap (Ripon) – Magic Boy
5f 219y Handicap Flat, 20 runners
Good-good to firm in places
There’s no clear favourite in our next race – the William Hill Supporting MND Silver Cup Handicap – over at Ripon.
Tim Easterby’s Go Vince Go has the shortest odds, but hasn’t won a race since October (9-race-drought). Instead, I’m going for the runner with the most recent win – Nigel Tinkler’s Magic Boy (8/1).
He’s recently won over both 6f and 7f, at York (in a field of 19 with a starting price of 6/1) and Redcar (in a field of 14 with a starting price of 28/1). He’s a talented racehorse; there’s no doubt about that, it’s just a case of dialling in his consistency.
Date | Distance | Venue | Position |
|---|---|---|---|
24 July 2026 | 6f | York | 7/21 |
11 July 2026 | 6f | York | 1/19 |

03 June 2026 | 6f | Ripon | 2/10 |
04 Nov 2025 | 7f | Redcar | 1/14 |

15:10 – Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes (Newbury) – Symbol Of Honour
6f 219y Group 2 Flat, 9 runners
Good to firm
The Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes is up next – a 6f 219y Group 2 Flat race with 9 runners currently entered. Of those, it’s Andrew Balding’s Never So Brave (11/4) that’s the early favourite – but the 5-year-old isn’t the one I’d back.
Charlie Appleby’s entries are always worth checking out, and Symbol Of Honour (4/1) is no exception. The 4-year-old grey gelding won last time out at Newbury with a starting price of 7/2 and will be looking to take the win in the Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes this Saturday.
Date | Distance | Venue | Position |
|---|---|---|---|
18 July 2026 | 6f | Newbury | 1/7 |
27 June 2026 | 6f | Newcastle (AW) | 3/11 |

5f 219y Handicap Flat, 15 runners
Good-good to firm in places
Finally, we’ve got the William Hill/MND Association Great St Wilfrid Handicap over at Ripon for our last tip of the day. Clive Cox and Fast Track Harry (5/1) are the early favourites, but it’s another from Nigel Tinkler that I’m liking the look of – Lord Roxby (6/1).
The 4-year-old bay gelding won last time out – less than two weeks ago – at Ripon over 6f. He’ll be looking for a carbon copy performance this Saturday, again with Alex Jary piloting the racehorse.
We’ll find the form of Jary and Tinkler in the William Hill Supporting MND Silver Cup Handicap (14:55) with Magic Boy. If all goes well, it might just be a good omen for Lord Roxby in the William Hill/MND Association Great St Wilfrid Handicap.
