Godolphin hoping storm clouds clear for Kheleyf

Connections of Kheleyf are confident of a big run in a top-class international field for the Darley July Cup at Newmarket tomorrow – as long as the forecast heavy rain does not ruin the party.

Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin outfit has had a great season so far with the likes of Punctilious, Doyen, Refuse To Bend and Papineau all making major contributions, although Sulamani has proved something of a disappointment and was beaten at Newmarket today.
