On Friday, two Listed races take place at Newbury and Hamilton, both boasting impressive past winners. In the Rose Bowl Stakes (4:10pm Newbury), Social Symbol is tipped as the value pick over favourite Nabati, following a strong finish at Royal Ascot and an encouraging pedigree. For the Glasgow Stakes (7:50pm Hamilton), Superior Choice, bred for middle-distance glory and already a dual winner this season, is expected to continue progressing for the Gosden yard. Both selections come with backing from positive form and breeding.

Two Listed races will take place across Newbury and Hamilton on Friday, with both boasting a glittering roll of honour.

Here are our best betting tips for Friday's feature races.

Listed Tips - Friday 17th July


4:10pm Newbury - Rose Bowl Stakes Tips


Charlie Appleby won this Listed contest with future Group One winner Wise Approach 12 months ago. William Buick rides Nabati this year, who heads the betting following a debut victory at Yarmouth. Yet, I'd much rather take the favourite on with SOCIAL SYMBOL (5/1).

Simon and Ed Crisford's juvenile won nicely on debut at Ripon before going into the Norfolk Stakes as a 33/1 outsider. Social Symbol started slowly and found himself trapped wide at the rear with two furlongs to travel. William Buick's mount picked up well, recording some rapid closing fractions to finish fourth, four lengths behind the excellent Orthodox.

This American-bred colt is a full brother to the formerly classy Royal Spa, who claimed Grade Two honours over a mile during her career in the USA. I have no doubt Social Symbol will improve for this step up in trip and, after that excellent effort at Royal Ascot, new jockey Jack Mitchell is sure to fancy his chances.

7:50pm Hamilton - Glasgow Stakes Tips


This Listed contest has also been won by future Group One stars, with Kalpana and Subjectivist featuring on the roll of honour. SUPERIOR CHOICE (11/10) is bred to be a top-quality middle-distance performer and should take this step up into Listed company in his stride.

John and Thady Gosden's youngster finished fourth on his sole juvenile start before getting off the mark in a strong maiden on his reappearance at Leicester. Zurna gave the favourite something to think about on the July Course last month, but Superior Choice never really looked like being caught, returning odds of 1/3 to make it two from two for the season.

Shane Foley's mount is by top sire Dubawi and is the first foal out of Loving Dream, who won the Ribblesdale Stakes and the Group One Prix de Royallieu during her racing career. Superior Choice looks to have inherited plenty of his parents' class, and I'm excited to see what he can produce ahead of a potential tilt at the Great Voltigeur Stakes.
