Redcar, Sunday 19 July 2026: Tips and Analysis

A seven-race card on good to firm ground at Redcar, and the going suits horses with pace and a clean action. Three races jump out as worth your attention today. Edward Bethell leads the trainer standings here with a 25% course strike rate and an A/E of 1.24, meaning his runners genuinely outperform their market position. Daniel Tudhope and Mark Winn are the jockeys to follow, both clocking 18% at the track. Keep those names in mind throughout.

1:53 — Racing TV Free Trial EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (7f, Good To Firm)

Fourteen runners, a big field of juveniles, and the favourite Hey Up Ronnie is just 4/6 on the back of a single fifth-place finish. That’s short enough to make you look elsewhere.

Mojito Madness at 9/4 is the one that catches the eye at a workable price. Trainer Gihan Arnolda has been in red-hot form, striking at a 50% rate over the past 14 days (3 from 6). Two runs in, with a third and a fifth on the board, the colt is clearly learning fast and jockey Ray Dawson gives him a stable pilot. Good to firm on seven furlongs suits a sharp juvenile, and at more than double the price of Hey Up Ronnie, Mojito Madness represents a fair alternative with more upside in the return.

If you want each-way cover in this 14-runner field, Coul Blue Each-Way at 15/2 with BoyleSports is worth a small each-way punt. Mark Winn takes the ride, and that matters at Redcar where he clocks an A/E of 1.53. Michael Dods sends out four winners from 33 runners over the past fortnight, the yard is ticking over nicely, and this gelding could easily find a place in a wide-open maiden. Three places at 1/5 odds makes the each-way case straightforward.

3:33 — Sky Bet For The Fans Handicap Stakes (1m, Good To Firm)

Seven runners over a mile, and two horses stand out for different reasons.

Criminal Shore at 13/2 is selected on course-and-going form. This four-year-old won two starts back and has the experience of today’s trip and today’s ground already under his belt. Daniel Tudhope takes the ride, and whatever you think about O’Meara’s 4% yard strike rate right now, Tudhope at Redcar is a different conversation: 18% winners, A/E of 1.08, and he picks his rides carefully on a track he knows well. The 37-day break is not a concern for a horse fit enough to place last time out.

The market has gone for Amidst The Chaos at 7/4, and that form line is solid enough, a win and three places from six starts with a second last time. But 7/4 in a seven-runner handicap, with a yard running at just under 19% from 16 runners, is not the value bet of the day. Criminal Shore at more than three times the price makes the each-way case strongly.

Yafaarr at 4/1 under Sam England is interesting given the trainer’s 16% Redcar record (A/E 1.73, the best on the card by a distance), but bottom of the rankings on figures keeps him to a watch brief rather than a firm recommendation today.

4:08 — Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Handicap Stakes (1m2f, Good To Firm)

Four runners, which rules out each-way betting. This is a straightforward win-only call, and the form book points firmly in one direction.

Be Patient at 2/5 is a short price, but the case for backing him is a strong one. Edward Bethell sends him out 16 days after his last victory, and this trainer fires at 25% at Redcar with an A/E of 1.24. His horses do not underperform at this track. Be Patient has won two of his last three starts, has the experience of today’s trip, and goes on good to firm without a problem. Daniel Tudhope, 18% at Redcar, completes the combination. The form is not manufactured on a soft surface or a specialist track. He has earned this favouritism.

Nepal at 9/1 is interesting on paper: rated highest of the four on the figures provided, with course and going experience banked. But 150 days off the track is a significant hurdle, and Ivan Furtado’s yard is barely ticking over at 3 from 30 over the past fortnight. Pass at the price given the fitness risk.

Financer at 10/3 ran second last time and is quickly back, but six starts without a win is a stubborn pattern, and a 7lb claimer on board in a four-runner field feels like a disadvantage when Tudhope and Bethell are lining up against you.

Today’s NAP

Be Patient — Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Handicap Stakes (4:08, Redcar)
Odds: 2/5 — BoyleSports (others: 4/9 Betfred, 2/5 LiveScore Bet)

Edward Bethell sends him out firing on a 25% Redcar strike rate and Daniel Tudhope, one of the sharpest jockeys at this track, takes the ride. Two wins from his last three, experience of today’s trip and good to firm ground already in the book, and a fit yard prepared to run him back just 16 days on. Four-runner field means no hiding place, and Be Patient has no need of one.
