Summer Stakes Betting Odds

The William Hill Summer Stakes takes place at York Racecourse, with eighteen runners competing over six furlongs. Sayidah Dariyan is likely to go off as favourite, although this is a wide open encounter where there could be any number of winners. First Instinct runs for William Haggas and hasn’t been out of the first three this season.

Sky Majesty is another William Haggas-trained runner and has the highest official rating in the field, with Nighteyes running for David O’Meara and this will be the fourth outing for a talented four-year-old. Romantic Style has also been in the winners enclosure this term, with Vespertilio another lively contender.

Sayidah Dariyan runs for Richard Hughes and there are plenty of signs that the horse can produce a fine performance in the William Hill Summer Stakes. There was a fourth-placed finish in a big field at Royal Ascot, with the 66/1 chance hitting the frame. A repeat of that performance in the Commonwealth Cup could be enough to land the spoils.

This came after finishing third out of ten runners in the Carnarvon Stakes, with that coming after a victory on the all-weather at Chelmsford. However, First Instinct has plenty of solid credentials, with the horse last seen finishing second in a Fillies’ Stakes race at Ayr Racecourse. This came after a third-placed effort in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock.

Sky Majesty hails from the same stable and also stands a chance. There was an outing at Royal Ascot, with the 33/1 shot finishing eighth last time out. It was a fine showing in the Commonwealth Cup and came after an outing on the all-weather at Chelmsford. There were a string of successes at Newbury, Ayr and Chantilly last year.

Nighteyes is a four-year-old who impressed at Royal Ascot and could be set to feature heavily here. The horse might have been outclassed in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes although a fourth-placed finish at Royal Ascot was pretty solid. That came after finishing third at Haydock Park when running in a listed race stakes.

It’s almost certain that Unequal Love will go off as favourite for the William Hill Summer Stakes, with the four-year-old having ran well this season. There have been three outings, with the horse having won at Newmarket in early May before a fifth-placed finish at the Curragh before a stunning victory at the Royal Ascot meeting.

In the Wokingham Stakes on Day Five of the meeting, the William Haggas-trained runner was able to oblige by half a length. However, there are lots of lively opponents including Raqiya and the three-year-old was able to score for trainer Owen Burrows last time out. This was at Salisbury when fending off five other rivals.

Adaay In Devon has an impressive strike rate, with the three-year-old having won three of his six outings this season. Rod Millman saw his charge triumph at Sandown in the middle of June when obliging as the 11/8 favourite in a five-furlong listed race. There was previously a third-placed finish in the Carnarvon Stakes at Newbury Racecourse in May.

Great Generation was also triumphant on his previous outing, with the three-year-old running for trainer Marco Botti. Eight other contenders were beaten at Lingfield when the horse won the William Hill Chartwell Fillies’ Stakes, with this coming after a solid run at Deauville in the Prix Imprudence when finishing fourth out of seven.
