Get set for an exciting weekend of racing with the ITV7 free-to-play competition on Saturday 16 August 2025. Featuring action-packed races from Newbury, Newmarket, and Ripon, players can pick seven winners and compete for a staggering £50,000 jackpot — with zero cost to enter.
Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Geoffrey Freer Stakes (Group 3) - Newbury
Pinhole
Reason for Tip
Pinhole, the Juddmonte-owned Frankel colt trained by Ralph Beckett, arrives in excellent form following a dominant handicap win at Ascot three weeks ago when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time—scoring by over five lengths and marking himself as a standout performer. That authoritative performance suggests he’s more than ready to step back up to Group-level action, and the headgear remains in place to sharpen his focus. With his trainer in fine form and backing from the betting market, he looks very well positioned to justify both expectations and the confidence placed in him.
JenningsBet Grey Horse Handicap - Newmarket
Addison Grey
Reason for Tip
Addison Grey (J: Jack Nicholls, T: Clive Cox) looks a leading contender in this grey-only sprint, arriving in fine form after an emphatic Salisbury novice win followed by a strong third in a big-field Chepstow handicap. That latest run came off just 1lb lower than today’s mark, and he shaped as though this stiff 6f would play to his strengths. With a progressive profile and still relatively unexposed, he has the right blend of form and potential to go close in this competitive renewal.
D&H, Excellence In Nutrition Handicap - Newbury
Lil Guff
Reason for Tip
Lil Guff (ridden by Jim Crowley for trainers D & C Kubler) arrives on the back of a winning return at Bath in April and a solid third at Ascot just 22 days ago, demonstrating that she’s maintaining form and remains a reliable sprinter. Now racing off an official rating of 84, she’s well treated on recent efforts and looks well placed to be competitive again in an open sprint. A strong rider booking and consistent performances suggest she’s one to keep in the mix.
William Hill Supporting MND Silver Cup Handicap - Ripon
Fortamour
Reason for Tip
Fortamour is a genuine course specialist with an excellent record at Ripon and now lines up for a third crack at this race. He’s been competitive in both previous attempts, with last year’s run hindered by a stumble, and comes here off a workable mark that gives him every chance of going close. His proven ability to handle the undulating track is a big plus, and a favourable high draw only strengthens his claims of making that valuable course knowledge count.
TPT Fire Handicap - Newbury
Consolidation
Reason for Tip
Consolidation (3yo gelding by Too Darn Hot, trained by Ralph Beckett, ridden by Rossa Ryan) returns to this fixture with a modest strike rate of two wins from seven starts. He posted a solid reappearance when landing a 7f Goodwood handicap, showing he remains well-handicapped. Though he’s come up short in tougher 3-year-old contests at Royal Ascot and Goodwood since, the switch back to handicap company and the fitting of cheekpieces could help sharpen him up. Now taking on older rivals and racing off a mark of 94, there’s a sense he could bounce back and capitalize on his early promise if returning to that Goodwood form.
William Hill/MND Association Great St Wilfrid Handicap - Ripon
Mister Sox
Reason for Tip
Mister Sox (jockey Duran Fentiman, trainer Tim Easterby) looks to carry forward his excellent recent form—he recorded a career-best performance when winning this fixture over the course and distance just 12 days ago. Now racing off only a 3 lb higher mark, he remains in peak condition and appears well treated by the handicapper. With a record of four wins from nine starts this season and a clear affinity for the Ripon 6f, he brings both confidence and proven efficacy to this big-field sprint.
Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes (Group 2) - Newbury
Witness Stand
Reason for Tip
Witness Stand (J: Billy Loughnane, T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole) arrives in peak form after causing an upset in the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood last time, showing a sharp turn of foot and genuine class to win at 25/1. He’s already proven over this course and distance with a Listed win here, and despite carrying a 3lb penalty, his official mark of 118 still puts him right at the top of the field on ratings. With confidence high in the camp and his profile firmly on the upgrade, he looks a major player to follow up if reproducing that Goodwood performance.

ITV7 (also known as ITV Pick 7) is a free-to-enter horse racing prediction game presented by ITV Racing. Players only need to pick one winner from each of seven selected races to compete for generous jackpots — most often up to £50,000 during broadcast races. Since it’s free, it’s a low-risk way to get in on the racing action and potentially win big.
-
Account Setup: Log in to ITV7 using a Sky Bet, Sky Games, Super 6, Fantasy Football, or Sporting Life Pick 7 account — or create one quickly from scratch.
-
Select Your Picks: Pick one horse in each of the seven designated races.
-
Tie-Breaker Question: Predict the winning distance of the final race. This comes into play if multiple entries get all seven winners correct.
-
Non-Runners/Dead Heats:
-
If your selected horse becomes a non-runner, you’ll automatically get the SP favourite assigned as your pick (or the joint favourite if there’s more than one).
-
In case of a dead heat, all horses involved count as winners for competition purposes.
-
-
Abandoned or Canceled Races:
-
If one race is voided, the jackpot drops to £5,000 (6 races), £1,000 (5 races), or the competition can be canceled if fewer than four races remain.
-
-
Consolation Prizes:
-
If no entry gets all seven winners, the best performer may earn a consolation prize, such as £1,000 for broadcast competitions.
