July Cup Runners & Entries

After his dominant victory in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, Advertise is the antepost favourite and that is very unsurprising. Dream Of Dreams comes in second into the market, beaten a head by Blue Point in the Diamond Jubilee and that form gives him a huge shout.

Cape Byron has been a rapid improver this year in handicaps and connections have been bullish about how far he could go, with Ten Sovereigns aiming to brush off two disappointing 2019 runs and given Aidan O’Brien back to back successes in the contest.
