Our Betting Directory Haydock BetFred Sprint Cup tips suggest that it might US Ranger who gets his nose in front in this very competitive sprint. The tip is based on the performance of US Ranger in the July Cup when he was closest to the great Marchand D'Or. US Ranger will also go on the ground and the fact that he is trained by the great Group One maestro, Aiden O'Brien, adds further ammunition to the claim. Jamie Spencer has been confirmed as the jockey, while stable jockey Johnny Murtagh will be at The Curragh riding, Duke of Marmalade, in the Irish Champion Stakes. It is possible that both US Ranger and Duke of Marmalade will win adding two more Group ones to the Ballydoyle trophy room. It is very interesting that support for US Ranger has been quite light in view of his stables Group One form and their continued ambition to add more to their collection. O'Brien is aiming to beat his all time Group One record wins this season and in US Ranger he can snap one up, in a race where the field would have been a lot stronger, had it not been for the going. At 8/1 he is excellent value and should be taken.

It is true that Richard Fahey's Utmost Respect is a proven winner on the ground and he will no doubt be quite a short price by the off. Others worthy of consideration is the Henry Candy trained, Corrybrough, he ran very smartly in a listed race in June at Sandown and is one who will go on the ground. Finally there are two previous course winners in the field, both love soft ground and could go close, they are Reverance and Somnus. Odds are 7/2 Utmost Respect, 9/2 African Rose, 15/2 Corrybrough, 8/1 Equiano, US Ranger, 14/1 Astronmer Royal, 16/1 Balthazaars Gift, Reverance, 22/1 Al Qasi, 33/1 bar.
