Hungerford Stakes Odds: Get On Ouqba for Cosy win in Newbury Feature

It looks like only seven will go to post in the Group Two Hungerford Stakes at Newbury today with the market being led by the Barry Hills trained, Ouqba, who was second over a mile on this course, behind the brilliant Paco Boy back in May. The heavily backed four year old is currently a best price of 11/4 with the ‘Magic Sign’ Ladbrokes and to our minds he looks a good betting proposition even at those odds.

Opposing him is the Brian Meehan trained, Cat Junior, whjo is a consistent sort but who has only ever won twice in 19 starts and the second of those victories came at Dubai World Cup at Meydan back in March. That said he did run well in the Betfair Cup at Goodwood at the end of last month getting to within a head of winner, Lord Shanakill, thus defying the 33/1 about him that day, but whether he has a similar run in him so soon after is open to debate. Nonetheless he can be backed at 7/2 with Ladbrokes.com

Shakespearean, trained by Godolphin looked to be a useful sort in the making when trotting up in the Listed Surrey Stakes at Epsom during the Derby meeting, but his two runs since at Group Three level have ended in failure. For him to win this he will need to improve and be in the mood, something that Godolphin horses have struggled to do this season. We would leave this one alone despite the 4/1 offered about him.

The Marcus Tregoning trained Finjaan has always been highly regarded but has so far failed to improve upon his win in the Group Two, 2009 Betfair Cup. He has undoubted ability but his two runs this season have been disappointing to say the least and he will need to improve substantially if he is to win here. He is currently an 8/1 chance with Ladbrokes Bookmakers.
