AW Easter Classic Betting Odds

There’s a good test of stamina in the form of the All-Weather Easter Classic at Newcastle Racecourse, with the runners and riders battling it out over one mile and two furlongs. Glen Buck has bagged successive wins for trainer Roger Varian and could go well here, with the bookies making the charge the one to beat.

Old Harrovian is trading at a similar price and this six-year-old is carrying a pound more than the favourite. Smart Hero has secured consecutive successes and James Tate has a runner who might well end up being an each-way bet to nothing. Charlotte’s Web and Hooking are other runners who are worth considering for the shortlist.

2025 All-Weather Easter Classic Tips

Glen Buck has been impressive this season and we’re excited to see how the horse will perform in the All-Weather Easter Classic. Roger Varian trains a runner who will be ridden by Jack Mitchell, with the six-year-old having won at Southwell at the end of February. This came after an early January success at the same course.

Old Harrovian has definite claims under Andrew Balding, with the runner able to score on his previous outing. That was at Newcastle in the middle of January, with this coming after finishing second to Glen Buck at Southwell. There was previously a third-placed finish out of fourteen runners in the Middle Distance Series Handicap.

Smart Hero is a younger adversary and is saddled by James Tate, with the four-year-old having landed a victory at Wolverhampton when scoring by two and a half lengths. This success came at the beginning of February, with that following a similar success at the same course in January. It’s entirely possible that we’ll see a hat-trick completed here.

Charlotte’s Web is another four-year-old with plenty of talent. The horse has regularly landed a winner’s spot and was last seen finishing second at Lingfield Park at the end of February. This came after successive triumphs at the same course and there were previous wins at Newcastle and Wolverhampton.

2024 All-Weather Easter Classic Tips

Oh So Grand has clocked up three consecutive wins ahead of the All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Handicap, with the four-year-old carrying 9-1 for this encounter. The latest success came against seven other runners on the all-weather at Lingfield, with this victory taking place on 20 January when obliging as the 11/8 favourite.

Previously to this, there was a December success at Lingfield, with the horse running really well to oblige at odds of 9/2. Jack Mitchell will be on board a runner who is competing with Penzance for favouritism, with the former having obliged with a victory at Newcastle back in October when obliging over one mile and two furlongs.

Penzance has recorded four straight victories and there could be more to come from the Michael Appleby-trained runner, with the latest success coming in early March at Lingfield Park. That success came after a sixty-day break, with a victory at Newcastle taking place on New Year’s Day.

There were back to back successes at Chelmsford in December before a New Year’s Day success at Newcastle, with the horse now bidding for a fifth straight success. It’s certainly hard to split the front two in the betting, with Elegant Man having a higher rating although the horse will be carrying more weight than the favourites.

2023 Easter Classic Middle Distance Championships Tips

Forest Of Dean could only finish sixth out of eight runners in his previous race, although the horse racing betting sites make him favourite to win the BetUK All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Championships Conditions Stakes and it must be admitted that this previous encounter was a competitive tussle which was won by talented favourite Lord North.

Forest Of Dean was previously the winner when obliging in a fast-track qualifier to be lining up in this race, with Collen Storey riding the charge to victory out of six different runners and that included a win against Harrovian who is also lining up as one of the favourites in this Newcastle all-weather race, with the bookies finding it hard to split the two horses.

The latter has followed a similar journey to arrive in this race, with John Gosden also having this runner which gives the legendary trainer a very strong chance of success. However, jockey James Doyle has opted to ride the race favourite, with Robert Havlin on board Harrovian and hoping to get his tactics right when it comes to the off.

Freescape has plenty to prove on the evidence of the most recent outings, with these all coming in competitive races at Meydan. However, there were a succession of performances at the all-weather track at Dundalk racecourse, with the eight-year-old capable of a sound race for trainer David Marnane, with Base Note having finished fifth on the past two outings.
