It’s day two of Newmarket’s July meeting and it is the fillies who take centre stage so far as the Group motion is anxious.
The Group 1 Falmouth Stakes sees a clash of generations, with the primary two home within the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot, Crimson Advocate and Cinderella’s Dream, attempting to concede 9lb in weight for age to Aidan O’Brien’s Coronation Stakes third January.
There’s also a star two-year-old in motion with Venetian Sun, so impressive when taking the Albany at Royal Ascot last time and talked about in glowing terms by trainer Karl Burke, but she looks set to be a really short price when bidding to follow up within the Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes.
There’s an excellent mixture of handicaps, too, and listed here are our three best bets on the cardboard.

Newmarket July meeting betting suggestions
1.50 Urban Glimpse
Horses with good form in handicap company are likely to win this with regularity so it’s somewhat bit surprising to see Charlie Appleby’s King’s Charter, who has yet to run in a single and has been handed top weight, because the early favourite with the bookmakers.
Much preferred is Urban Glimpse, who has yet to win this season but has been a wonderful second each times he has run.
In the primary of those he was behind Sing Us A Song, who was an enormous gamble next time at Royal Ascot but missed the break and failed to fireplace afterwards.
There is no reason to doubt the shape, though, because the third, fifth, sixth and seventh have all won races since.
Next time he went down by just half a length at York to Dante’s Lad, who won again next time, while the fourth and sixth also scored.
3.35 Crimson Advocate
The bookmakers make this a three-runner heat between Cinderella’s Dream, January and Crimson Advocate, and it’s somewhat bit surprising that the latter is the largest price of the trio.
It’s true she was receiving 3lb from Cinderella’s Dream when beating her by a length and three-quarters at Ascot, but she got here from even further behind the runner-up off what was a really slow gallop and won going away.
A Group 2 winner over 5f as a juvenile, Crimson Advocate showed that speed to devastating effect then, and she will accomplish that again in a race that lacks any obvious pace.
The support for January is comprehensible given she’s trained by Aidan O’Brien, but her Coronation Stakes third got here in a weak renewal lacking either the British or Irish 1,000 Guineas winner and she or he still has a good bit to search out despite the 9lb weight allowance.
4.45 – Dorney Lake
That is considered one of the lesser races on the cardboard, nevertheless it might provide the perfect bet.
Dorney Lake had been progressive over 6f earlier within the season, winning at Yarmouth and Doncaster, and after losing his way somewhat in May, he was back on course with a advantageous fourth on his first run over 7f at Newbury.
He’d all the time been a powerful finisher at 6f, so one other furlong was well value a try, and he got it well enough despite pulling very hard in a race that was steadily run and dominated by the front-running winner.
He gets a hood in a bid to assist him settle this time, but there must be more pace on this time and he can come home fast and late.
