The July Festival at Newmarket Friday (Friday 10th July 2026)

Wait 5 sec.

Another exciting day ahead on the July course with the Falmouth Stakes taking centre stage!Irish Guineas and Coronation Stakes hero Precise is set to take her chance. Aidan O’Brien has won the race twice in the past with the likes of Alice Springs and Roly Poly. This filly looks extremely talented and should have a great chance under Ryan Moore.The Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes is also a race usually won by a smart type and Libertango fits the bill having made it a perfect 2-2 in the Albany last month. She should go on improving for a while yet so has a great chance to remain unbeaten. Plenty of competitive handicaps too and some good value on offer.Top July Festival at Newmarket Friday offerThe July Festival at Newmarket Friday 2026 day 2 (Friday) quick tips1.50 Princling – 9/4 with bet3652.25 Libertango – 4/6 with Betfred3.00 Wine Dark Sea – 11/10 with bet365 NEXT BEST3.35 Precise – 19/2 with SBK NAP4.10 Pure Majesty – 9/2 each way with BoyleSports4.45 Rocking Ends – 11/2 each way with bet3655.20 Sierra Sands – 11/2 each way with BetVictorJoe’s best horse racing betting tips for The July Festival at Newmarket Friday (Friday 10th July 2026)Find my top tips for Friday 10th July 2026 racing with odds from the best horse racing bookies below:Newmarket 1.50 Oddschecker Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) 1m2fA small but select field for the opener at Newmarket and I do think the market has this spot on with PRINCLING the one to beat.This colt looked to be going places winning at Wetherby on reappearance and has been highly tried since. He was fourth behind Blue Courvoisier at Carlisle and then went down just a couple of lengths to Lost Boys at Royal Ascot. He has more to come especially over a mile and a quarter and with the yard firing is worth keeping on side.Heraldry is one of the most unexposed horses in the field and if he improves again now handicapping he could put up the most resistance.Laureate Crown impressed at Sandown but let backers down somewhat in the Britannia. These are calmer waters though so he could bounce back and get competitive. Bet on PRINCLING to win at 9/4 with bet365 Newmarket 2.25 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (Fillies’ Group 2) (Class 1) 6fThis is often won by a smart filly and I’m confident we will see another one this year in the shape of LIBERTANGO.She overcame inexperience to win going away on debut at Leicester and then improved again to beat Sun Goddess in the Albany at Royal Ascot last month. She has a real likeable way of going through her race and with scope to keep progressing I’m confident she can land the hat-trick against these.Senorita Bonita also won on debut and then bumped into Victorious in the Queen Mary. That is a strong level of form and with further improvement should put up some resistance to the favourite.At a massive price I was impressed with Ruby Moon on debut at Carlisle and while this is a great deal tougher I do think she has a bright future. Bet on LIBERTANGO to win at 4/6 with Betfred Newmarket 3.00 Betway Trophy (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) 1m6fAnother case where I think the market is spot on. WINE DARK SEA has been so impressive the last twice and I can see him completing the hat-trick now.He had Valedictory behind when winning at Ascot and then laughed at his rivals to follow up by a wide margin at Carlisle last month. He is unexposed stretching out in trip and could easily improve again and prove a cut above.Valedictory is a horse I like and he was given a poor ride behind the selection at Ascot and then put that right winning at Goodwood. He has more to come so I’d be confident the pair battle this one out and I will be covering the reverse forecast too for a bit of insurance. Bet on WINE DARK SEA to win at 11/10 with bet365 Newmarket 3.35 Tattersalls Sceptre Sessions Falmouth Stakes (Fillies’ & Mares’ Group 1) (Class 1) 1mI can’t wait to see PRECISE out again. I have a good record in the Falmouth down the years with one of my favourite winners Snow Lantern back in 2021. I have backed the winner for the last two years in Porta Fortuna and Cinderella’s Dream so hopefully we can do the same again this time around.The Irish Guineas and Coronation Stakes hero looks tough to oppose for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore. She quickly bounced back from that blip in the Guineas to win her last two and arrives at the top of her game so very much the one to be on.Blue Bolt is a talented filly herself and impressed winning at Royal Ascot last month. She is 2-2 this season and won’t go down without a fight.Balantina has ground to make up with the favourite but is still lightly raced and does look best of the rest in a good renewal. Bet on PRECISE to win at 4/5 with SBK Newmarket 4.10 Weatherbys Banking Group British EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (Class 3) 6fOnly three of the eleven runners have form to their name so not a lot to go on here!PURE MAJESTY certainly looks the part on paper being related to some smart types and she also holds an eye-catching entry into the Lowther Stakes at York next month so connections will be hoping for a big run first time out.Acting Lady is one of those with experience having gone down just half a length on debut. She should know more this time around and can run well for the boys in blue.I thought Desert Smoke was quite intriguing at a bigger price being by Havana Grey and she could show up better than her price suggests at least. Bet on PURE MAJESTY each way at 9/2 with BoyleSports Newmarket 4.45 Debenhams Handicap (Class 3) 5fOur Cody has run well the last twice and with Ryan Moore on now could find a bit more but she tops the betting so there is little value in her price.I prefer ROCKING ENDS who needs to show more than she did at Yarmouth last time out but this track will suit better and down 2lb it would be no surprise to see her put her best hoof forward here.Plenty of dangers and Emperor Spirit went close at Beverley and could progress from that and get involved.Tatterstall carries top-weight but that’s with good reason and he ran a big race denied narrowly at Hamilton and that form has been boosted so he definitely enters calculations. Bet on ROCKING ENDS each way at 11/2 with bet365 Newmarket 5.20 Jockey Club Estates Handicap (Class 4) 7fRyan Moore was sent to good effect on SIERRA SANDS last month and given this colts unexposed profile he could easily progress again and follow up here with the partnership in tact. A 4lb rise looks manageable and I expect him to go close.Lion Of Mali has won four of his last six starts and beat another improver in Kimbara at Sandown so looks the danger despite a 3lb rise.Calling A Star has won two of her last three and showed a good attitude at Windsor so is another one to note in a tricky finale. Bet on SIERRA SANDS each way at 11/2 with BetVictor My top tip for The July Festival at Newmarket Friday Day 2 on FridaySome great racing at Newmarket on Friday as you’d expect for this time of year and I have backed WINE DARK SEA to complete the hat-trick and doubled him up with PRECISE who is looking to win the Falmouth having been impressive the last twice. Bet a win double on WINE DARK SEA and PRECISE at 11/4 with bet365 About the authorJoe NorrisI’m Joe Norris, co-founder and Director of GetYourTipsOut (GYTO), which I launched in 2009 to provide daily sports betting tips, with the main focus on horse racing.
