TODAY’S July Cup is a fascinating July Cup. A clash of the sprinting generations, as it usually is.

Inisherin is a worthy favourite. He wasn’t a worthy favourite for the July Cup at the start of the season, he wasn’t even a sprinter at the start of the season. He was a Guineas candidate and, indeed, after two runs over a mile last season, he made his debut this season in said Guineas, and he didn’t run badly, showing pace and leading before fading late on.
