Great night in prospect on July Course!
RACING returns this Friday evening to the historic July Course for the first of seven ‘Newmarket Nights’, a legendary series in which the action both on and off the track provides fabulous entertainment.
The opening ‘Night’ contains a seven-race card followed by ‘80s Here And Now’ in which evergreen stars Paul Young, Belinda Carlisle and more will take to the stage.
Racing-wise, the Invesco Perpetual Handicap looks a cracking heat with 16 runners declared for the 7f contest, including trainer Alan Bailey’s unbeaten Lowther and Indian Art for the in-form Richard Hannon team.
The July Course is famous for staging some of the best juvenile maidens of the season and the second race on the card, the Peri Up maiden is sure to feature some impressive-looking individuals.
A dozen two-year old are set to take part in the event with newcomers from the powerful Barry Hills and Saeed Bin Suroor stables‘ in the mix.
The third race on the card, the NGK Spark Plugs handicap over 1m4f, features the Peter Chapple-Hyam trained Cwn Rhondda who will be searching for a hat-trick on Friday following two victories at Yarmouth .
Racing kicks off at 6:00 with the Newmarket Nights apprentice handicap. Come and experience the unique atmosphere that only the Newmarket Nights series can provide!
