Newmarket preview: Cape Of Good Hope can strike a significant blow for racing in Hong Kong by taking today's Darley July Cup at Newmarket

The six-year-old is a high-class performer in his native country but he always seems to come up against one too good in the shape of world-class sprinter Silent Witness, who has beaten him no less than six times in the last year.

However, Cape Of Good Hope has notched up numerous Group One placings and he has proved he can hold his own in Britain with two very promising runs at Royal Ascot.

Trainer David Oughton started Cape Of Good Hope in the King's Stand Stakes and the gelding did well to finish a length-and-a-half second to The Tatling over what was probably an inadequate five-furlong trip.

Cape Of Good Hope then made a quick reappearance in the Golden Jubilee Stakes four days later and again he did himself credit by claiming third place. The son of Inchinor may have been closer to the half-length winner Fayr Jag had he not stumbled coming out of the stalls and can step up on that form to claim this Group One prize, further advertising the strength of racing in Hong Kong.

Dubawi can confirm his debut promise in the Group Three Weatherbys Superlative Stakes.

This son of Dubai Millennium made a pleasing debut when claiming a Goodwood maiden last month, beating Fox - who reopposes here - a length and a half despite running very green.

One can only expect Dubawi to improve for that experience and he should know a lot more about what is required.

Godolphin step him up to seven furlongs here, and as a son of the great 10-furlong horse out of an Italian Oaks winner, stamina should not be a problem.

Zilch can make it two wins on the bounce in the Ladbrokes Bunbury Cup.

Michael Bell's six-year-old won a competitive six-furlong event at Windsor last time on ground that was probably a bit quick for him.

That three-quarter-length win over Caustic Wit marked a return to the best of his form after a couple of moderate runs, and he goes into this race in good heart.

The step back up to seven furlongs will not be a problem as he has won over the trip before and any rain will definitely work in his favour.

Imtiyaz will appreciate the slight drop in class in the Collaborative Planning Conditions Stakes at Epsom's evening meeting.

The five-year-old has been highly tried, running in Group One and Listed company, and he lost nothing in defeat last time when just going down to Kalaman at Goodwood.

Kalaman has since franked the form when an unlucky third to Refuse To Bend in the Coral-Eclipse, so Imtiyaz should have a great chance of giving Godolphin another victory.
