English Racing -Scenic Blast looks good

Racing is on at Newmarket, Ascot and York today, with Newmarket staging its popular July Cup meet.

The $40 million Darley July Cup (Group One) over six furlongs is the big feature on the card. It has attracted 13 starters, including the 6-4 ante-post favourite SCENIC BLAST who bids for a hat-trick of wins with Steven Arnold aboard.

The five-year-old horse has impressed with two high class wins, the more recent at Royal Ascot and, in present frame of mind, should lead home PACO BOY (Jimmy Fortune) from the in-form stables of Richard Hannon.

10 per cent bonus

Track Price Plus will offer a 10 per cent bonus on all dividends on races from Newmarket and York in the morning, Chepstow and Newbury in the evening.
