One of the biggest upcoming fixtures in the UK’s flat racing circuit is the Sprint Cup which is set to unfold at Haydock in early September. There is plenty to like about how the race is shaping up and the ante post markets have a number of really talented contenders set to run in this six furlong contest.

From a betting standpoint, the race looks extremely open and you’ll find that even the horses competing for the favourites position are priced around 9/2 and 5/1 so there is plenty of money to be made for those who can get the race correct this time around.
Oxted appears to be the betting favourite by a slim margin right now and the Roger Teal-trained colt is looking for his third successive win here. He was victorious in the Darley July Cup Stakes at Newmarket back in mid-July and he was able to build on his Group 3 victory that kicked off his debut back in early June.
The spacing between the races looks good for Oxted and he looks to be having a banner year, having competing mostly in higher-end handicaps during his 2019 campaign.
Sir Michael Stoute’s Dream of Dreams won a Group 2 contest in early August and looks to be pointing towards this race with the bookmakers putting him right in the mix to take on Oxted with a listing of around 5/1. The six-year-old was a notable second place in the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. He was well-beaten in this race last year but looks to be moving forward a lot better this time around and could be poised to make the breakthrough here.
A few other notable contenders in the race include last year’s winner Hello Youmzain at a 6/1 price tag while the talented Golden Horde looks to be coming back for a run here as well with bookmakers going as high as a 13/2 price tag to capture a solid Group 1 victory.
