Four horses that finished behind Berkshire Shadow in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot have had an outing since and all four have been beaten, but the form may well get a boost on Thursday when four more – including Eldrickjones, the runner-up, and Ebro River – go to post for Group Two July Stakes on the first day of Newmarket’s July Festival meeting. Eldrickjones, still a maiden after two starts, outran odds of 66-1 to finish a length and a quarter behind Berkshire Shadow, while Ebro River was within a length of him in fifth. Their performances are reflected in their odds, though, along with two more that placed at the Royal meeting in Project Dante, third home in the Norfolk, and Dig Two, runner-up in the Windsor Castle. By contrast, The Organiser (2.25) who helped to force a very strong pace in the Coventry before fading inside the final furlong, has been all but ignored in the betting. He still finished within four lengths of Eldrickjones at Ascot, however, and Oisin Murphy, who takes the reins for the first time here, will be alive to the need to ride him with a little more restraint. At around 20-1, he is a solid each-way alternative to the market leaders in a very open renewal. Newmarket 1.50 Stowell is an obvious favourite after finishing strongly into third in the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot but the time of the race was nothing special. The trip is an unknown for Yibir, whose form with Alenquer and the Derby winner, Adayar, at Sandown stands out, so it may be worth chancing Roger Charlton’s Pleasant Man at around 8-1. He was gelded before showing plenty of improvement – and stamina - to win a handicap at Salisbury last month and any further progress would put him right in the mix. Carlisle 2.05 Velocistar was 2lb out of the handicap at Newbury last time but finished within a length-and-a-quarter of the winner and has an obvious chance to register her second success of the season off her correct mark here. Newmarket 3.00 The season’s strongest form lines among three-year-old sprint handicappers are all well represented, including Jumby’s success on the Rowley Mile in May with today’s rival Jadwal not far behind. Both have taken a hike in the weights since, however, while Popmaster, who has been running well without winning, has been dropped 2lb since an excellent run at Royal Ascot when he was drawn on the wrong side. Newmarket 3.35 Al Aasy looked the likely winner for much of the way in the Group One Coronation Cup at Epsom last month only to be worried out of it at the death by the exceptionally resilient Pyledriver. This looks a more straightforward assignment to tee him up for a run in the King George at Ascot later this month.
