Roger Teal is taking inspiration from England's football team ahead of Oxted's bid to become the first back-to-back winner of the Darley July Cup in over 60 years at Newmarket on Saturday. "It hasn't been done since 1959, so let's hope we can end that and England can do the same on Sunday." Oxted returns to the July course at the top of his game, having doubled his Group One tally in the King' Stand at Royal Ascot last month. He ran a huge race at Ascot and he has proven himself to be a proper Group One horse. He obviously handled the soft ground well at Ascot, as did the winner, but he ran another very big race.
