ROY ROCKET
Will it be Brighton win number nine for Roy Rocket this evening

Newmarket’s July meeting is just a couple of days away and today we get a flavour of what to expect on the opening afternoon as declarations are revealed, with the Group 2 Princess Of Wales's Arqana Racing Club Stakes and the Group 2 Arqana July Stakes for two-year-olds the ones to particularly look out for.

The Listed Weatherbys General Stud Book Pipalong Stakes at Pontefract is the highlight of the action this afternoon, alongside an eight-race card at Wolverhampton.

Roy Rocket is making a name for himself at Brighton, having won there eight times, and the grey is out to make it three wins in a fortnight at the track tonight in the 1m4f handicap at 7.10.

Like Brighton, Uttoxeter will be showing the World Cup semi-final between France and Belgium, a foretaste of the showdown at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium between England and Croatia on Wednesday evening. In Ireland there is racing from Roscommon, starting at 5.50.
