‘ABSOLUTE legend’ Inisherin ‘could take some stopping’ on his path to £340,000 July Cup success.
Kevin Ryan’s Royal Ascot-winning sprinter is the 15-8 favourite with Coral to land Saturday’s feature race on the July course at Newmarket.
Inisherin finished sixth in the 2000 Guineas but won the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock when next seen.

And he was awesome in capturing the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at last month’s Royal meeting.
Inisherin was 10-1 for the July Cup prior to that win and his price but his price was slashed on the back of it.
The three-year-old colt was one of 13 left in the race at the final entry stage before declarations are made on Thursday.
Coral’s Lewis Knowles said: “It’s easy to forget that Inisherin’s stunning performance in last month’s Commonwealth Cup was only his fifth racecourse start, and it would appear Kevin Ryan has a real superstar on his hands to go to war with in the sprinting division.
“He’s now 15-8 for Saturday’s July Cup at Newmarket, and he could take some stopping en route to another Group 1 success this weekend.”
Vandeek was put in his place by Inisherin when the pair last met.
But the former is 5-1 second-favourite for trainer Simon and Ed Crisford after he was forced to miss Royal Ascot due to a low blood count.
Ed Bethell’s Regional is 7-1 following his brilliant second in the King Charles III Stakes.
Although the forecast rain for the week might not be to his liking with all his wins coming on good or good to firm.
Aidan O’Brien has entered River Tiber for his third run of the season and rank outsider Military.
