There's racing this afternoon in Tipperary and at Downpatrick while the Darley July Cup is the big Group 1 contest at Newmarket.

There's a strong Irish contingent in the field for that feature with over 280 thousand pounds on offer to the winner.

Meath-based trainer Eddie Lynam saddles 2 runners, including King's Stand Stakes winner "Sole Power", while Aidan O'Brien has entered Jersey Stakes winner "Gale Force Ten". That goes to post at 10-to-4.

At home, the going is described as good to firm at both Tipperary and Downpatrick.

The feature in Tipperary is the Listed Danehill Dancer Stakes, which is likely to be won by either Willie McCreery or John Murphy - the two trainers will saddle five of the six runners.

The pick of the action at Downpatrick should be the Winner Alright Hurdle at 20-past 3.

The action gets underway in Tipperary at 2:25pm while the first-off at Downpatrick is at quarter-to-three.
