Murtagh set to boost Bell revenue

Irish jockey Johnny Murtagh will team up again with Royal Ascot winner Revenue in next Wednesday’s TNT July Stakes.

Irish jockey Johnny Murtagh will team up again with Royal Ascot winner Revenue in next Wednesday’s TNT July Stakes.

He drove the colt to a length-and-a-half victory in the Windsor Castle Stakes at the Royal meeting and has been booked for the two-year-old’s step up to Group Three company at Newmarket.

The partnership face a rematch with Aidan O’Brien’s Ontario, who finished fifth when favourite for the Windsor Castle.

But trainer Michael Bell said: ‘‘It is a tough race but Revenue is a real professional two-year-old.

‘‘If he is healthy - and he is at the moment - he he will run at Newmarket and Johnny Murtagh will ride him.

‘‘He has only done a couple of bits of work since Ascot but he looks very well. The step back up to six furlongs will not be a problem.’’

Also among 16 juveniles entered for the July Stakes are two from the stable of David Loder, who has won the last three runnings with City On A Hill, Noverre and Meshaheer.
