2024 bet365 Handicap Tips

The bet365 Trophy takes place over one mile and six furlongs on Friday 12 July, with Fox Journey having won on his seasonal debut last time out. The horse was successful over one mile and four furlongs at Newmarket in the middle of May, although there was an underwhelming performance at Royal Ascot when finishing fourteenth out of sixteen runners.

Tides Of War was unable to make an impression at Meydan during the winter, although the six-year-old was able to beat seven other runners at Goodwood towards the end of May. Sent off at betting odds of 14/1, there was a victory by a short head although some will prefer the each-way chances of True Legend instead.

The four-year-old has yet to win this season, although there has been two runner-up finishes, with the first of these outings coming at Lingfield in May. Then came a solid performance at Goodwood when finishing just behind Tides Of War. In the Northumberland Plate, there was a fifth-placed finish on the all-weather at Newcastle.

Bague d’Or is trained by James Ferguson and the six-year-old was last seen running at Royal Ascot, with an eleventh-placed finish coming in a field of nineteen runners. That was in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes over one mile and four furlongs, with a previous win coming in the William Hill Handicap when triumphing by nearly two lengths.

2023 Bet365 Trophy Tips

Can Live Your Dream prove to be an each-way bet to nothing for this race? The six-year-old is clearly talented and the latest outing was at the 2023 Royal Ascot meeting. Being sent off at odds of 11/1, the horse performed well in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes when finishing narrowly behind winner Okita Soushi and HMS President.

Interestingly, the latter also lines up in this race. Alan King saddles a runner who can’t be discounted based on that performance and the horse previously demonstrated bags of ability when landing a victory in the Howden Handicap. Indeed, the horse has become capable of hitting the frame on a consistent basis and could be a good each-way pick.

Aimeric is a four-year-old with a win to their name this season, with the Roger Varian-trained charge having scored at Doncaster Racecourse earlier this term and was then eighth in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes. However, we’re more than taken by the recent form of Kihavah and perhaps this one is worth a second look.

Three consecutive wins can’t be knocked and they have come at Market Rasen, York and Ayr. The latest of these in Scotland saw the 13/8 favourite land the spoils by a head when winning over one mile and five furlongs, while the runner was able to oblige at York when obliging in the Queen Mother’s Cup Handicap over one mile and four furlongs.
