2024 Bengough Stakes Tips

The Ascot betting sites have installed Unequal Love as a warm favourite to win the Bengough Stakes, with the horse capable of performing well over six furlongs. The four-year-old has claimed two victories and has also posted two third-placed finishes, with the latest effort coming at Haydock in the Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes.

Jarraaf has landed consecutive wins in his past two races and can’t be easily discounted considering the three-year-old is performing well. Owen Burrows trains a horse that has secured back-to-back successes at Ascot, with the latest coming as an odds-on favourite in the Shergar Cup Sprint when winning by nearly three lengths.

English Oak has been in the winners’ enclosure on two occasions this term, with Ed Walker training a four-year-old who was second last time out. This was a runner-up finish out of eight horses at Newbury, with this coming in the Dubai Duty Free Cup Stakes, with the charge having won the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Ascot.

Purosangue has been runner-up in two of his previous three races, with Andrew Balding training a three-year-old who was able to perform well at York last month when finishing second out of eight runners. There was also the same finish in the Coral Charge at Sandown where a victory was nearly accomplished.

Commanche Falls is a horse that merits respect after securing a number of wins, with the six-year-old having won at York on 10 September, with Connor Beasley steering the charge to a victory against Juan Les Pins who will also be in this race. This came after a fourth-placed finish in a Phoenix Sprint Stakes over six furlongs.

In the bet365 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury over six furlongs, with the horse securing a victory by a head. This came after a win over six furlongs at The Curragh, with the same jockey on board a talented runner who is heavily likely to be favourite for a race where Annaf and Juan Les Pins are other contenders.

Annaf’s win at Doncaster was even the more impressive considering the horse dwelt at the start and there could be a smarter performance to come, with the other strong performance of note being a third-placed finish in the King’s Stand Stakes at the Royal Ascot meeting, with Michael Appleby having a talented performer on his hands.

Juan Les Pins has run Commanche Falls close already this season and there was less than a length that separated the two horses in the Garrowby Stakes, with the horse having finished third in the Hopeful Stakes at Newmarket. A tenth-placed finish in the Coral Stewards’ Cup at Glorious Goodwood suggests there is more to come.
