Hamilton 19:30 – Glory Of The Seas Looks Unbeatable
If you’re in search of a rock-solid favourite, look no further than Glory Of The Seas (1/3) in the 19:30 at Hamilton. The Roger Varian-trained colt boasts a 95% confidence rating from our AI model, the highest on today’s card, and for good reason. He’s stepping up for this 1m 3f 15y Class 3 novice event following an impressive win last month over a similar trip on good ground.
With Ray Dawson booked to ride, punters can be confident in a jockey-trainer combination that’s operating at a 22% strike rate together this season. The going at Hamilton is officially "good, good to soft in places," a surface that suits this son of Sea The Stars perfectly. Dawson’s tactical acumen combined with Glory Of The Seas’ proven form makes this our NAP of the day. Put simply, anything other than a comfortable victory would be a major surprise.

Fontwell 17:00 – Muskerry Rock Primed for Success
Muskerry Rock (1/1), trained by the prolific Dan Skelton, lines up in Fontwell’s 17:00, a 3m 1f 166y contest on good-to-soft ground. With Harry Skelton in the saddle, this gelding looks well-placed to notch up another win. The Skelton duo has a 25% strike rate at Fontwell, and Muskerry Rock ticks all the boxes for today’s stamina test.
He was last seen finishing a strong second over a similar trip at Uttoxeter, and this slightly easier task should allow him to go one better. The small, six-runner field should suit his tactical running style, and with his AI confidence rating at 85%, he’s another prime candidate to form the cornerstone of midweek accumulators (check out today’s accumulator tips for more).
Yarmouth 14:48 – Esdaile Worth a Punt at 28/1
For those seeking each-way value, Esdaile (28/1) in the 14:48 at Yarmouth shouldn’t be dismissed. Ridden by Marco Ghiani, this gelding might be underestimated in this Class 4, 7f handicap. While his recent form figures (046-) show inconsistency, he’s been quietly shaping as though a big run is just around the corner. The drop to seven furlongs and the softer ground could bring about a revival, especially given Ghiani’s strong 18% strike rate at Yarmouth.
With the AI confidence rating at 47%, this is no guarantee, but at such long odds, he represents excellent each-way value in a 14-runner field. Use our betting calculator to assess your potential returns from an each-way wager.
Competitive Fields at Limerick – Focus on the 17:13
Limerick serves up its trademark competitive action, with the 17:13 standing out thanks to its 19-runner maiden over 1m 3f 210y. Wide-open contests like this are often ripe for each-way opportunities, and the current market leader, Riseandgrind (2/1), looks vulnerable. Instead, consider Celtic Empire (16/1, AI confidence 52%) as a lively outsider. This colt was third over a similar trip in May and could sneak into the frame here if the forecasted improvement materialises on this good-to-yielding ground.

Kempton’s Evening Card – Big Prices at Play
Over at Kempton, the All-Weather specialists will be sharpening their pencils. While short-priced favourites are in short supply here, the 20:40 1m 2f 219y handicap offers some intriguing big-price options. Man From Havana (33/1) may lack recent winning form, but with Ben Ffrench-Davis taking off a valuable 5lbs, he could outperform his odds in a wide-open 14-runner contest.
Meanwhile, in the 19:10, Rogue Supremacy (20/1) represents excellent each-way value. The booking of Luke Morris, a known force on the Polytrack, raises confidence, and the AI model’s 48% confidence rating indicates he could be a contender for a place payout.
