Favourite wins TNT July stakes

Dane O’Neill took Johhny Murtagh’s place on the Richard Hannon-trained Tacitus and nearly made it a dream spare ride as the colt finished strongly to go down by just half a length to stable companion Mister Links in the TNT July Stakes at Newmarket.

Hannon almost made it a clean sweep of the places as his Tizzy May was badly boxed in on the inside rail yet still came home a close fifth.
