July Festival 2022 Day One| Tips & Preview with Andy Holding

George Elek is joined by Andy Holding to look ahead to day one of the July Festival at Newmarket.2.37: The opening race of the week is the Maiden Fillies' Stakes run over six furlongs. Ivory Madonna appears to set the standard here after her run in the Albany Stakes and she'll have Hollie Doyle on board. Andy thinks she looks a worthy favourite in a tricky to call contest with over half the field newcomers.5.00: The Bahrain trophy comes next at 1.50. Deauville Legend runs here, tipped up by Andy at Royal Ascot where he came a notable second, he's 9/1 best price here and doesn't appear to be too fancied on this occasion. Masekela is the 7/4 favourite here following his Derby run, Walk of Stars follows next having disappointed there himself with Zechariah also around the 4/1 mark.9.25: The July Stakes takes place at 2.25, eight are declared at the time of writing and Persian Force and Little Big Bear both head the betting at 7/4 with the latter as short as 6/4 in places. Andy isn't keen on Persian Force at the price whilst he thinks Mysterious Night could be value at an each way price.12:55: 19 are entered for the Bet365 Heritage handicap. Bosh jumps of the page here for Andy with Richard Hannon's charge currently a best price of 11/1, several bookies are paying up to 6 places on this one at 3pm and Andy thinks at the prices it could be the best bet on the card.16:30: Mostahdaf just edges Yibir for favouritism in the Princess Of Wales's Close Brothers Stakes and Andy thinks he's a fair favourite and can't see too much value elsewhere in the race.18:30: Frankie Dettori rides favourite Mighty Ulysees in the listed Sir Henry Cecil Stakes. Alflaila is one that interests Andy here at 10/1 having previously tipped him up for the Jersey Stakes.21:08: The final race on the card is the Weatherbys Hamilton Handicap over a mile. Enforced is the favourite here at 3/1. A trappy looking race and after some deliberation Andy landed on Charlie Appleby runners Echo Point and Noble Dynasty. Hosted on Acast.
