Lynam trio among July Cup entries Slade Power is one of three entries from the Eddie Lynam yard in a strong Irish contingent for the Darley July Cup at Newmarket on July 12th. The five-year-old ran a superb race to finish third to Lethal Force and Society Rock in the Group One contest last season and had stablemate Sole Power back in fifth. He is also entered, as is another stable companion in Viztoria. Aidan O'Brien is typically strongly represented, with Darwin, Due Diligence and Giovanni Boldini among his team of entries, while other Irish interest comes from the likes of Maarek and Gordon Lord Byron. Kingman is the eyecatching name among the 48 entries. A startling winner of the Greenham on his return to action over seven furlongs, John Gosden's colt was caught close home by Night Of Thunder in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket at the weekend on his first run over a mile. Other three-year-olds who ran in the Guineas and may drop in trip include Spanish raider Noozhoh Canarias, Charm Spirit and Lucky Kristale, who disappointed in the fillies' Classic on Sunday. Other overseas possibles include Zoustar, Shea Shea, American Devil, Gammarth and the Wesley Ward-trained Undrafted. Undrafted, who is owned by American football star Wes Welker, finished second in a Grade Three at Churchill Downs on Friday. Ward said: "Undrafted ran the best race of his life at Churchill Downs last Friday. As long as he shows enough to warrant a trip across the Atlantic in his next race, at Belmont Park in a month's time, then the plan is to go to Newmarket. "Wes Welker is an extremely lucky owner who loves to go to the races and let his hair down. He has already been to Ascot and had a great time there." Aljamaaheer, Pearl Secret, Hot Streak, Moviesta and Astaire are others among the top-class entry.
