The July Cup at Newmarket on Saturday features big names such as Oxted and Starman but for the Irish Miss Amulet will be in there pitching as trainer Ken Condon has confirmed the Group One sprint as her next assignment.

Third at the top level, at the Breeders' Cup at Keeneland back in November, we've only seen Miss Amulet once as a three-year-old with the Group Two scorer finishing towards the rear in the Guineas at the Curragh in May.

“Miss Amulet runs in the July Cup," said Condon.

“Her season really hasn’t got going due to the ground. With the Irish Guineas on our doorstep it was the last chance of a classic so we let her run but the ground was very testing. Hopefully the ground will be more in her favour on Saturday.

“She’s very like last year in that she is very undemonstrative at home but she is in very good form. She’s fit and she’s healthy.

“It will be a very competitive field and she’ll be a big price but some of her form from last year is working out very well. It remains to be seen has she trained on but physically she has done well and we are looking forward to it.”
