St James's Palace Stakes Tips

3.50 St James's Palace Stakes (Class 1) (Group 1) (Entire Colts) 1 Mile Round.


Named after the Tudor Royal residence, the inaugural running of the St James’s Palace Stakes in 1834 was a walkover for the Derby winner Plenipotentiary. The race features the best milers from the Classic generation, often attracting horses that have run in the English, French and Irish 2000 Guineas, with a succession of famous winners.


Richard Hannon expects Dubawi Gold 14/1 who came from the back of the field to take second at Newmarket and was an unlucky runner-up in the Irish 2000 gns will prove a big threat to Frankel. Frankel, who has never lost a race, is the most likely winner, having devastated the field in the 2000 gns by so many lengths it’s not worth counting! However, at 1/3 on a £10 bet would only return you £3 so it’s best to predict an each way to land in the frame, which could include Excelebration 8/1 which chased Frankel home in the Greenham.

Main bet: FRANKEL 1/3 on to win


OR Excelebration 8/1 and/or Dubawi Gold 14/1 e/w
