Today’s horse racing accumulator from BettingTips4You brings together three expert selections from our top analysts. Each pick has been thoroughly researched and represents strong value in their respective contests. Whether it’s the potential of an exciting three-year-old sprinter, a well-handicapped improver at Ascot, or a staying star returning to ideal conditions, our treble covers all bases. Let’s dive into the details from our tipsters – John Pentin, Herrin Kendrick and Gram Dodd.

16:35 Newmarket – Symbol Of Honour

John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
John Pentin heads to the feature event of the day – the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket – where he’s opposing the favourite Notable Speech with a selection that offers substance at a better price. Symbol Of Honour, representing Charlie Appleby and ridden by Oisin Murphy, has gradually climbed the ranks this season and comes into this contest with momentum.

This progressive colt arrives on the back of an authoritative win in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock. That victory came just a week after a smooth success in the Carnarvon Stakes, where he comfortably dispatched Ides Of March. That form-line now ties in neatly with other key runners, making him a serious contender in this sprinting division.

Although still improving, he has shown consistency over this six-furlong distance, registering five wins from six attempts at the trip, the only blemish being a narrow loss in last year’s Coventry. With a break since he was ruled out of the Wokingham due to a minor setback, he now returns fresh and firing, for a stable in excellent recent form.

The booking of Oisin Murphy is another positive, and his draw gives him a chance to track pace before launching his challenge late. With Notable Speech untested over the trip and other rivals closely matched, Symbol Of Honour looks the standout each-way alternative – but he’s good enough to win this outright.

16:50 Ascot – Germanic

Herrin Kendrick; Racing analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Herrin Kendrick turns his attention to Ascot’s 4.50 sprint handicap, where Germanic makes considerable appeal, especially at each-way odds. This five-furlong heritage handicap looks a fast and furious affair, and Kendrick believes Germanic has been primed for a big effort.

Previously trained by William Haggas, Germanic has shaped as though better is to come since switching to his current yard. His run at Newcastle last time confirmed that belief when finishing runner-up behind Ferrous in what looked a strong contest. Importantly, that was over six furlongs, a trip where he has tended to race too freely early on. The decision to shorten him to five furlongs this time suggests connections are trying to get him to settle better while using his natural speed to full effect.

Positioned centrally in the draw, he will have options to either track the leaders or find space for a late burst, depending on how the race unfolds. Cieren Fallon has been a profitable booking for the yard, scoring on three of his 13 mounts so far (+£17 profit to £1 stakes), and his experience over Ascot’s straight five is invaluable.

With a strong gallop anticipated, Germanic should get a perfect set-up to unleash his finish. While the favourite may attract more attention, this lightly-raced gelding has scope for better now dropped in trip and looks capable of outrunning his price in a race that suits his running style.

15:45 York – Tabletalk

Gram Dodd; Senior tipster at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Over at York, Gram Dodd is confident that Tabletalk can take full advantage of a return to 1m6f in the 3.45 staying contest. This is a horse who was trusted with a Derby entry last year, and that level of belief was validated when he romped home in the Melrose Handicap over this very course and distance. That win came in a strong time and hinted at greater things to come.

Since then, his three runs this season – all over a mile and a half – have been solid rather than spectacular, most recently a sixth-place finish in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot. But those runs have all had a common theme: they were over trips that now look just shy of his optimal distance. With York’s long straight and flat track playing to his proven stamina, the return to an extended trip is exactly what’s required to unlock another big performance.

Another point in his favour is the form boost from his Aston Park Stakes second, where third-placed El Cordobes has since landed a Group 2, lending more depth to Tabletalk’s CV. With conditions ideal and the competition less intense than in previous outings, Dodd believes this drop back to listed level provides the perfect platform for a return to winning ways.
