SportHorse racingRoyal AscotNewsboy is backing Blue Bolt to win the featured Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket and he expects LIBERTANGO to lift the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, two of six races live on ITV17:34, 09 Jul 2026BLUE BOLT is fancied to step up to the top level to shock favourite Precise in the Tattersalls Sceptre Sessions Falmouth Stakes (3.35) at Newmarket on Friday. Andrew Balding’s daughter of Blue Point looks an improved model at four this season, following a win in Goodwood’s Listed Conqueror Fillies’ Stakes with a length-and-three-quarter margin of victory in Royal Ascot’s Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes – and still has more to give. Two days after Blue Bolt’s success, LIBERTANGO lifted the Group 3 Albany Stakes on the royal heath and George Boughey’s filly deserves her hotpot status for the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (2.25). Similarly, it’s hard to get away from WINE DARK SEA, whose 6lb penalty for a 13-length stroll in Carlisle’s Cumberland Plate 16 days ago still leaves him 11lb well in for the the Betway Trophy (3.00).‌Princling heads the market for Newmarket’s opening Oddschecker Handicap (1.50) but the value may lie with HERALDRY, trying the handicap sphere and 10 furlongs for the first time. At York, SPICY MARG deserves compensation for her Royal Ascot near-miss in the Group 3 William Hill Summer Stakes (2.45), while course specialist ANDESITE is another due a change of luck in the opening William Hill Extra Place Races Daily Handicap (2.10).
