2025 Abernant Stakes Tips

Romantic Style has plenty of attributes and we might see the horse prove too strong for the opposition in the Abernant Stakes. Charlie Appleby will have high hopes for a horse who was able to claim the spoils at Meydan at the end of January. Sent off as the 6/5 favourite in the Dubai Sprint, there was a two and a half length success.

However, the horse previously fell short as the 2/5 favourite at the same course in the middle of January, with Sajir perhaps a better alternative. That’s particularly if you are looking to bet each-way on the action, with the horse winning at Chantilly last time out. That was a success in the Prix Anabaa.

Lethal Levi is bidding for a third successive win and the six-year-old has plenty of experience under his belt. There was plenty to like about a win at Ayr in September, with the 20/1 shot winning the Ayr Gold Cup. That came after a handicap success at Newbury in July, with the horse making amends for a disappointing showing in the Stewards’ Cup.

Run To Freedom is trading at a similar price and the horse was underwhelming at Newmarket in the same race a year, with an eleventh-placed finish being registered out of fourteen horses. The runner had previously gone well in the Champions Sprint Stakes over six furlongs, with Apollo One also having solid credentials.

Shouldvebeenaring is among the favourites to win the Abernant Stakes and the four-year-old was last seen running in an all-weather encounter at Wolverhampton. There was a third-placed finish out of six runners, with this coming after a third-placed finish in the Qatar Prix de la Foret where the horse outperformed his odds of 35/1.

Commanche Falls is an older runner that goes for trainer Michael Dods and this horse could be suited to the conditions at Newmarket racecourse. Last time out, the runner finished second out of ten runners at Ascot when sent off at 11/2, with that coming after a victory at York and there were previous successes at Newbury and the Curragh.

Marshman was second in a previous encounter and is one of two Karl Burke-trained runners who could end up securing the spoils, with Clifford Lee on board this horse who was second to Montassib at Doncaster in a recent encounter. There was plenty to like about his performance in the William Hill Cammidge Trophy Stakes.

Spycatcher could rival his stablemate and there was a significant performance when finishing third out of fifteen runners in a showing at Ascot back in October. The horse was able to perform well when hitting the frame in the British Champions Sprint Stakes, with the gelding actually denied a clear run on that occasion.

Creative Force has failed to win any of his previous five races, although the Charlie Appleby-trained charge has been operating in esteemed company. Therefore, we might expect the horse to be successful in the Abernant Stakes and perhaps punters should be too put off the fact that the five-year-old has found life tough when it comes to getting in the winners’ enclosure.

In the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Keeneland in early November, the Godolphin charge ran a creditable race when finishing third at betting odds of 15/2, with Caravel the shock winner although William Buick managed to steer the horse close to a victory. Previously to this, the runner was also in the frame when finishing third in the British Champions Sprint Stakes.

Not that this is a one-horse race and the horse racing betting odds suggest that the favourite is less likely to win than succeed. Ehraz is next in the market and the four-year-old has the ability to improve more because of his age, with trainer Richard Hannon no stranger to success at the Craven Meeting and perhaps we’ll see a winner here.

The four-year-old was third in the Cammidge Trophy Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse on heavy ground over six furlongs, with the runner a facile winner of a three-horse race at Newmarket back in October. Garrus was eighth in his most recent showing, although that was in a competitive heat at Riyadh and more could come from this runner.
