IT IS a huge Saturday of afternoon racing with a Group One of the highest order complimented by some competitive, but cracking handicaps across several tracks with Newmarket leading the way for punter-friendly plays.

A total of 14 runners will go to post for the Darley July Cup at 3.40 and what makes the market so fascinating is that the first two in the betting, Platinum Jubilee second Creative Force and Commonwealth Cup hero Perfect Power would both prefer that little bit more dig in the ground.

You could readily counteract my argument by saying that they achieved both performances on good to firm at Ascot, but having been found in the market I am happy to bet either of that duo to win again.
