Last year’s Tooheys Armidale Cup winner Beckford will be chasing back-to-back victories in the race next Sunday.

A snapshot of the support races at Rosehill on Saturday.

He might not be the most fashionable or talked about sprinter around the wider North England region, but lightly raced five-year-old Danza In the Dark ($5 on TAB) is set to make a return statement at Tuesday's feature Tamworth meeting.

Two American sprinters (Beckford and Stormy Liberal) and one from Australia (Redkirk Warrior) were among the 50 horses engaged at yesterday’s (Tuesday) initial entry stage for what promises to be an international renewal of the Group 1 Darley July Cup at Newmarket’s Adnams July Course on Saturday, 14th July.
