Bet365 Bonus Code and July Cup Betting Preview

The big feature race in Britain on Saturday is the Darley July Cup at Newmarket and it's set to kick off at 3:20. One of the more competitive 6f contests you'll find anywhere, it also boasts an automatic entry to the British Champions Day sprint race and is also part of the Global Sprint Challenge.

This one is going to be especially interesting as there is no real clear-cut favourite here with a number coming in with a bit of mixed form or looking to make a big impression two or three off the lay-off.

Bated Breath looks to be the betting choice as we go into the contest but there is no guarantee of anything as the late money will likely be the bulk of the total wagered. Bated Breath deserves respect and is making his third start of the season – surely to kick on and improve just a bit from last time. The five-year-old bay opened his account at Haydock this season in the Group 2 Temple Stakes before running second by less than a length to Little Bridge in the Group 1 King's Stand Stakes. Not bad when you consider it came against a field of 22.

Punters will find Bated Breath trading in the neighbourhood of around 4/1.

Society Rock is getting some real action at a 9/2 listing and that's really telling you something as this guy hasn't done much since scoring in the Group 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes at Ascot last year. He ran third in the Group 2 Duke of York Stakes in his first run of the season and then ran fifth of fourteen behind Black Caviar in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

He will need a sharp reversal in fortunes if he's going to get a result here though many fancy him to improve.

Godolphin have confirmed that Frankie Dettori will get the mount on Sepoy, who is looking to make his first start since a lone, disappointing run at Meydan back in March. A multiple Group 1 winner from Australia, he didn't fare so well in the Golden Shaheen – finishing a tame tenth from twelve. He's taking some money here though and rewards at a 10/1 price tag if he manages to turn it around.

Dandy Boy is one to watch for David Marnane's yard as he's been supplemented into this one at considerable expense after scoring at 33/1 in the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot. The six-year-old may have turned a corner and will look to improve big here in his third start off a lengthy three-month freshening.

Veteran handicappers Hawkeyethenoo and Genki are both out there at 25/1 and 40/1, respectively. Krypton Factor could be dangerous if he channels some of his form from Dubai and he's sitting at 22/1 for anybody feeling adventurous.
