Headlining the third day of the meeting and the entire event, the July Cup will take place on Saturday, 11 July this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The July Cup is a Group 1 flat horse race that accepts both male and female horses aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) on the July Course. The race was established in 1876. Its very first winner was bay colt Springfield bred by Queen Victoria. When the modern horse race classification system was introduced in Britain, the July Cup was classed as a Group 2 race. It was later promoted to Group 1 in 1978.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article we will review the list of runners announced to take part in this season\u2019s race, take a look at the race card for the entire third day, and get insight into some of the most promising runners and market\u2019s favourites to compete in the race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Newmarket July Cup 2026 Racecard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Newmarket July Festival 2026 will be conducted in the second week of July and last for three days.

With a current prize purse of \u00a3800,000 it also becomes one of the most valuable sprint competitions. Participation in the July Cup isn\u2019t restricted by age or gender, so every year horse racing fans see a variety of talented sprint runners competing for the champion\u2019s crown at the Newmarket Racecourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, there are 13 runners announced to compete in this year\u2019s race, but this number may change before the day of the race. Some of the jockeys for the race have already been announced, others are still awaiting confirmation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current full list of contenders, their jockeys and trainers runs as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almeraq (age 4, jockey Tom Marquand, trainer William Haggas)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big Mojo (age 4, jockey William Buick, trainer Michael Appleby)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comanche Brave (age 4, jockey Billy Loughnane, trainer Donnacha O\u2019Brien)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double Rush (age 4, jockey Oisin Murphy, trainer Andrew Balding)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Powerful Glory (age 4, jockey Jamie Spencer, trainer Richard &amp; Peter Fahey)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prince Of India (age 4, jockey Pat Dobbs, trainer Marco Botti)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quinault (age 6, jockey Marco Ghiani, trainer Stuart Williams)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Satono Reve (age 7, jockey unconfirmed, trainer Noriyuki Hori)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flora Of Bermuda (age 5, jockey unconfirmed, trainer Andrew Balding)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coppull (age 3, jockey Saffie Osborne, trainer Clive Cox)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Division (age 3, jockey James Doyle, trainer William Haggas)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mission Central (age 3, jockey unconfirmed, trainer Aidan O\u2019Brien)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venetian Sun (age 3, jockey Clifford Lee, trainer Karl Burke)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who to Look Out for at Newmarket July Cup 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone who has seen the July Cup race before knows that it always brings together some of the best sprinters trained by some of the industry\u2019s most renowned trainers and paired with talented jockeys. As the race doesn\u2019t impose the upper age limit, runners aren\u2019t restricted from multiple participation. Any eligible horse can enter the competition repeatedly to try and become the champion more than once. As of now, there is one runner that has collected more wins than any other contender in the history of the race, namely Sundridge who has become the champion of the July Cup three times in 1902, 1903, and 1904.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest winner in 2025 was a 4 year old bay filly No Half Measures. This was her only win of the 2025 season out of the five races she participated in. On the other hand, she showed some impressive results in her debut season of 2024 where she achieved 6 wins out of 11 races, including her first win at the Win 2,000,000 With BetMGM\u2019s Golden Goals Restricted Maiden Stakes (Lingfield Park Racecourse, March 2024) and Dubai International Airport World Trophy Stakes (Newbury Racecourse, September 2024). This season No Half Measures hasn\u2019t run in any races yet, nor has she been declared to take part in the July Cup or any other Newmarket July Festival races. No Half Measures was trained by Richard Hughes and led on the track by jockey Neil Callan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/betting\/horse-racing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13634 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CrossSell_HorseRacingTracks.jpg\" alt=\"Banner for Horse Racing betting\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CrossSell_HorseRacingTracks.jpg 900w, https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CrossSell_HorseRacingTracks-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CrossSell_HorseRacingTracks-768x213.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Venetian Sun<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay filly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Karl Burke<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 6 out of 8 wins, including Commonwealth Cup (June 2026) and Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (July 2025)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karl Burke\u2019s charge has shown consistently good results since her very first race of British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies\u2019 Novice Stakes (Carlisle Racecourse, May 2025) that she won, but she came to the forefront as the clear favourite for the July Cup after her very impressive win in the Commonwealth Cup during the Royal Ascot week last month (June 2026).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venetian Sun is no newcomer at the Newmarket Racecourse either. Last year, which was also her debut season, she participated in the Newmarket July Festival and won the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (July 2025). She started the 2026 season by running in three races, and though she came eleventh in the Betfred 1,000 Guineas Stakes (Newmarket Racecourse, May 2026, winner True Love), she won the other two: William Hill Sandy Lane Stakes (Haydock Park Racecourse, May 2026) and Commonwealth Cup (Ascot Racecourse, June 2026).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Almeraq<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay colt<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> William Haggas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4 out of 7 wins, including Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (June 2026) and Fergie &amp; Myra Happel Ayr Gold Cup Trial Handicap (July 2025)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another strong contender for the champion title, Almeraq brings more Royal Ascot winner energy to the tracks. His last month\u2019s win in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (Ascot Racecourse, June 2026) firmly placed him among the favourites for this year\u2019s July Cup. This will be the first time William Haggas\u2019s charge appears on the tracks of the Newmarket Racecourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his debut season of 2024, Almeraq won the British EBF Novice Stakes at the Yarmouth Racecourse in October. In 2025, he added another win to his credit with the first place in the Fergie &amp; Myra Happel Ayr Gold Cup Trial Handicap (Ayr Racecourse, July 2025). Since the start of the 2026 season, Almeraq has participated in two races. In addition to the win at Royal Ascot, he also took the first place in the British Stallion Studs EBF Cathedral Stakes at the Salisbury Racecourse in May 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Satono Reve<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 7 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex and colour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bay horse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trainer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Noriyuki Hori<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Major achievements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3 out of 10 wins, including Takamatsunomiyakinen G1 (March 2026) and Shunrai Stakes (April 2024)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though Noriyuki Hori\u2019s charge is mostly used to Japanese racecourses, he caught the attention of the British and international audience when he finished second in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at the Royal Ascot this June, only slightly behind Almeraq.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, this wasn\u2019t his first participation in this race. Satono Reve ran in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes in 2025 too and again finished second behind Lazzat.
