A quality day’s racing lies ahead on Saturday 9th August, with high-class contests spread across the UK and Ireland. Our BettingTips4You panel has picked out three standout runners to combine into a well-constructed horse racing accumulator that blends class, form and potential.
The selections come from Lingfield, Haydock and the Curragh, giving this multiple a diverse but complementary feel. Each runner arrives with strong recent form or a clear angle suggesting improvement is on the cards. From an unexposed sprinter joining a new yard, to a Royal Ascot heroine stepping up in class, and a two-year-old colt already boasting top-level success, this trio has been assembled with one goal in mind — to produce a profitable Saturday punt.
Here’s how our experts see the action unfolding.

Reasoning This accumulator combines three well-handicapped runners with clear form and situational positives. Princess Rascal is progressive, Solar Pass has unfinished business after an unlucky run, and Havanagreattime gets conditions to suit. Together, they offer a compelling treble with the right mix of proven ability and potential for improvement. |
19:52 Lingfield – Alashos
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale: Alashos begins a fresh chapter of his career this evening, lining up for the first time since moving to Chris Gordon’s stable from James Horton. This three-year-old Showcasing gelding has already hinted at the ability to win in his new surroundings, most recently going down by just a neck at Doncaster in a slightly weaker contest 43 days ago. That performance earned him a modest 2lb rise from the handicapper, but given the authority with which he travelled and the determination shown in the closing stages, such an adjustment should be well within his capabilities.

The switch to Gordon’s yard could unlock further improvement, while the booking of William Carson suggests the yard means business. This six-furlong trip is ideal for his running style, and Lingfield’s sharp finish should suit a horse with his turn of foot. Provided he can settle into a handy position early, his recent form indicates he has the tactical speed to put the race to bed when the pace lifts in the final furlong. Against this Class 5 opposition, anything close to his Doncaster display should see him very difficult to peg back.
14:25 Haydock – Never Let Go
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale: Never Let Go arrives at Haydock with momentum on her side, having captured the prestigious Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot on her latest outing. That victory, achieved in a 25-runner field, demonstrated not only her ability to handle pressure but also a turn of foot that marks her out as a filly going places. The No Nay Never daughter is still lightly raced with only six career starts, and the Ascot success represented a clear career-best, suggesting further improvement is likely.
Kieran Shoemark retains the ride after that winning partnership, and Ed Walker’s decision to pitch her straight into Listed company underlines the regard in which she is held. While her official mark leaves her with a little to find against some rivals, the way she quickened clear at the royal meeting hints that she could bridge that gap. The Sandringham form has already been boosted — the runner-up and third have both gone on to run with credit in Group company. Back over the same mile trip in what looks an open race, Never Let Go can prove her class once again and take another step towards top-level targets.
16:00 Curragh – Gstaad
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale: Gstaad brings proven Group 2-winning form into this Curragh contest, having stamped his authority on the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. That performance marked a significant step forward from his debut, as he powered three lengths clear of a competitive field with plenty left in reserve. With stable stars such as Albert Einstein and Charles Darwin absent, he is the yard’s prime contender for valuable juvenile prizes at present.
The principal danger appears to be stablemate True Love, who chased Gstaad home on debut before racking up back-to-back wins in the Queen Mary and Railway Stakes. However, there remains a question over whether she truly stays this trip, and Gstaad’s proven stamina could be decisive in the final stages. Joseph O’Brien’s Green Sense also commands respect after winning the Prix Robert Papin, but Gstaad’s Ascot showing suggests he has both the class and finishing power to repel all challengers. If he can track the pace and be delivered at the right time, his ability to see out the trip strongly should make him the one they all have to beat.
