Newsboy’s racing tips for Newmarket on ITV plus four other Friday cards

Newsboy fancies Running Lion to roar to a first Group One success under Oisin Murphy in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes (3.35) at Newmarket on day two of the July meeting and he also reckons Murphy can double up on Mighty Eriu (3.00)

RUNNING LION is fancied to register a first victory at the top level by landing the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes (3.35) at Newmarket this afternoon.

The John and Thady Gosden-saddled daughter of Roaring Lion was becoming expensive to follow but bounced back to form to lift the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last month.




Oisín Murphy will once again look to secure the lead and Running Lion may prove hard to catch.

Murphy looks good for a Group 2 double, teed up by MIGHTY ERIU in the bet365 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (3.00).

The Gavin Cromwell trainee is still a maiden, having finished second on both her starts, but the latter came behind Leovanni in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at the royal meeting and another step forward will see the daughter of Inns Of Court play a major role.

He failed to fire when a well-backed 4-1 shot for the Copper Horse Handicap at Ascot, but FOX JOURNEY , an 11-length winner at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile course on his previous outing, shouldn’t be written off.

He goes into the bet365 Handicap on the back of successes at Wolverhampton and Sandown Park, and TRAVOLTA should give another good account as he seeks a hat-trick.

At York, Wokingham Handicap heroine UNEQUAL LOVE gets the Nap vote stepping into Group 3 company for the William Hill Summer Stakes (2.40), while the in-form BILLYB makes plenty of appeal in the William Hill Extra Place Races Daily Handicap (2.05).
