Well what a win we had yesterday! Intervention must have read my article as he followed the script to a tee. He broke well, took the rail and made all, going on to win at 10/1 for us! With 1pt each way staked, he returned a fantastic 14pts to sign July off in style!
If you are new to my articles, I’m the resident horse racing tipster here and I typically post four betting tips most weeks. You’ll sometimes find other types of content from me too, including guides, big race trends and antepost picks. By the way, don’t forget to check out my live antepost selections.
The first of those runs in the St Leger in September. Then looking ahead to next year, I have selections live for the 2026 Cheltenham Festival and the 2026 Aintree Grand National as well, so make sure you check them out and take the early prices.
At the time of writing this article, bet365 stands out with the best price of 12/1 for Rhoscolyn today. As well as that they are offering five places for the race and have a superb sign up offer for new customers. If you bet £10, you’ll get £30 in free bets. Perfect timing with a big weekend ahead.
Rhoscolyn is a very smart horse when he gets his conditions, and today, that happens. In fact, there are several reasons why I think he’s a great bet today and in this article, I’ll break those down for you.
Rhoscolyn simply loves Goodwood! He has enjoyed five wins here, and his overall record at the track reads 12373101100120. In more simple terms he has five wins and four other top three finishes from fourteen runs.
Two of those wins have come over this C&D (1m at Goodwood) along with two second place finishes
His strong course record only gets stronger when you look at the stats for his runs on Soft or Heavy ground conditions. Rhoscolyn’s overall record of 1237310110012 becomes 1101112 with ground conditions in his favour. Again, in more simple terms, that’s five wins and one second place from seven starts, which is simply incredible!
It is also worth noting his only “bad” run at this track with conditions in his favour can be excused, as he was denied a clear run that day.
Rhoscolyn has recorded nine victories during his career, and they have come off marks of 73, 74, 86, 92, 87, 91, 94, 97 and 97. He comes here today off a mark of 96, which is 1lb below his last two winning marks, so he certainly looks handicapped to strike.
The last time he had his favoured conditions over C&D was in October 2024. He ran a very solid second that day, beaten half a length off a mark of 97, and produced a RPR of 107. Since then he has had one run on the AW and his six runs on Turf have either been on Good or Good to Soft ground, which isn’t soft enough for him.
When you look at the various elements, I’m seeing lots of positives and very little in the way of negatives. Rhoscolyn loves the track and trip, he’ll love the ground, he’s handicapped to strike, and he’s got a lovely draw in stall three.
In terms of the negatives, Rhoscolyn has run nine times, but hasn’t had a win since September. However, he had excuses for most of those defeats. The only other negative, is that his trainer, David O’Meara, has entered five for this race, and stable jockey Daniel Tudhope is riding Mirsky instead. However, those decisions were most likely made before the deluge of rain that fell yesterday, which completely changes everything.
David O’Meara has won two out of the last five renewals of this race, and I think he could easily make it three of the last six this year. Hopefully it will be Rhoscolyn with his nose in front, and all facts considered, I’m playing a 1pt each way on him.
