A strong week, finishing 9.25pts in profit. £10 on each of our tips would have made a profit of £92.50. We thought Amazing Maria‘s 12/1 price was extremely generous for the Falmouth Stakes, considering she’d soundly beaten Group One winners Rizeena and Integral last time out and the race was…
1Pt EW Related @15/1, Bunbury Cup (Heritage Handicap), Newmarket 15:10
Last year’s renewal saw Heavens Guest take the Bunbury Cup crown, and maintain a trend of favourites being turned over in what is always a wide open contest. This year’s instalment is more competitive, and I am searching for value against the jolly once again. The July Festival has been…

1Pt Win Arod @5/2, Fred Cowley MBE Memorial Summer Mile Stakes, Ascot 14:45 The unbeaten Lightning Spear (7/2) steps up from handicap company, putting his unbeaten record to the test in this Group Two. He’s been rewarded with an elevated mark of 104, which is great, but the same handicappers have…
1Pt Win Mullionheir @10/1, Betfred Mobile Stakes, Newmarket 15:45
1Pt Win Mullionheir @10/1 Betfred Mobile Stakes, Newmarket 15:45 JR Best’s colt has been a revelation this season having failed to get off the mark as a 2 year old. This horse has made it 4 wins from 5 starts rising a whopping 35lbs in the process. In fact his only…

1Pt EW Niceofyoutotellme @16/1, Princess Of Wales's Arqana Racing Club Stakes, Newmarket 15:15
A tough race. The unbeaten Mahsoob steps up in class and trip and heads the market at a steady 2/1. There’s not been a huge gamble to suggest confidence from his connections, and, if anything, that price looks likely to drift before post time. Ryan Moore’s mount, Gospel Choir, is chasing a four-timer which…
2 Pts Win Awesome Power @4/1, Unibet Handicap, Newmarket 15:45
The July meeting at Newmarket always throws up some scintillating, high quality thoroughbred action. It signifies that the flat campaign is in full flow with Royal Ascot behind us and an intriguing King George ahead of us; definitely a good opportunity to get stuck in with us here at 2ptswin.…
2pts win Lucida @3/1, 1pt win Amazing Maria @12/1, Falmouth Stakes
Lucida‘s season is in danger of turning into a hard luck story. She was mugged of classic glory by Legatissimo in the 1000 Guineas and was beaten into third in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot by a bad draw and an excellent Christophe Soumillon ride. The form is excellent and if either race…
1pt win Sole Power @20/1, July Cup
As is so often the case in Group One sprints, the market for Saturday’s July Cup at Newmarket is dominated by two horses who ran blinders last time out – Diamond Jubilee second Brazen Beau and Commonwealth Cup winner Muhaarar. With quick ground forecast and the same six furlong trip, they’re worthy…
Why was Undrafted a 22/1 winner of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes?
Punters have taken a liking to Wesley Ward’s horses at Royal Ascot – I certainly have. Acapulco landed a huge gamble when romping home under Ryan Moore in the Group Two Queen Mary Stakes. Yet when Back At The Ranch, Laxfield Road and the well backed Hootenanny all flopped on…
