Who To Follow On Day Two Of The July Cup Meeting At Newmarket

Charlie Appleby sends a strong team across the three day meeting but the second day at Newmarket's July course could prove the best.

In the opener he fields Desert Order and Flying Honours on debut with the pair of them making their debuts and head into the race with strong pedigrees.

In the bet365 Handicap he is double handed again with New London holding a big chance at the top of the market and Natural world could bounce back to form having his first run since a gelding operation.

Appleby heads into the meeting sporting a 27% strike rate for the last two weeks, managing to land six winners from his last 22 runners.

Leading rider Tom Marquand could be in for a stellar day on Friday with a handful of classy rides which includes some strong favourites in some good races.

In the opening race of the afternoon he teams up with a Brian Meehan trained debutant called Bridge who is a well bred son of Golden Horn.

He rides the second favourite Yonafis in the bet365 Handicap over 1m2f and then teams up with Carmela in the Group Two Duke Of Cambridge Stakes.

Marquand's best chance of the afternoon comes in the bet365 Trophy where Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes winner at Royal Ascot Candelford is looking to back up that run off 13lb higher.

The rider finishes the afternoon with one more ride on Dashing Dick in the Class 3 Handicap over 7f, who could go close.
