Gleneagles’s Mill Stream Wins the July Cup

[Wandering Eyes]

Peter Harris's Mill Stream (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}–Swirral Edge {GB}, by Hellvelyn {GB}) had been coming of age so far this season and his big moment duly came in Saturday's G1 My Pension Expert July Cup at Newmarket. Successful in the G2 1895 Duke of York Clipper Stakes and third in Royal Ascot's G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes on his last two starts, the 11-1 shot was held up early by William Buick with the pace strong up front. Staying on powerfully down the wing to wear down the QEII Jubilee runner-up Swingalong (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}) inside the final 50 yards, the Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained 4-year-old was driven out to assert for a neck success, with Vandeek (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) doing best of the 3-year-olds 1 3/4 lengths away in third. The 11-8 favourite Inisherin (GB) (Shamardal) was only fifth, having found this speed test too sharp.
