THE big-betting race of the day is the Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket (3.50) and with 35 horses to choose from there should be plenty of value across the track and my idea of the each-way bet in this cavalry charge is Yeager trained by Jeremy Noseda. 

This four-year-old has only raced nine times in his career — seven on turf — but during that time has shown smart form to win a good class handicap at Ascot over a mile and was even thought good enough to run in the Secretariat Stakes, a grade-one event in the US, as a juvenile.

Since then he has blown hot and cold, with his best run since being his maiden race this season when running the very smart So Beloved to three-quarters of a length at Lingfield over a mile, getting going way too late.

He then blew out at Ripon (not suited to the contours of the track) and hated the slower ground back at Ascot last time out when 20th of 29.

Dropped to a rating of just 93 and given a 63-day break since that failure, there is little doubt that he is very well handicapped now and he comes to this great race quite a fresh horse.

Drawn down the middle in 13, Jimmy Quinn can choose which side he wants to go and he is made a sporting each-way nap of the day.

Of course in a field of 34 rivals there are many dangers including the three-year-olds Maverick Wave and Extremity, the former winners Educate and Bronze Angel and the current favourite Cornrow, but I think the biggest player against my selection could well be Velox.

Luca Cumani’s charge has not had the best of luck on his last two outings at Goodwood and Doncaster, but should be very well served by this out and out gallop at the home of racing and I am sure that his trainer will be very happy by his draw on the far side of the track where there seems to be plenty of pace.

The supporting card is also worthy of a mention and the Cheveley Park Stakes (3.10) looks well up to standard. I can see Tiggy Wiggy taking them along for most of the journey, but possibly not getting home over the stiff six furlongs and being taken by the French filly High Celebrity inside the final furlong.

The Royal Lodge Stakes at 2.35 has an open look to it despite only the six runners, but I like Nafaqa to see off the Andrew Balding-trained Elm Park, while the other one I am interested in is One Word More who showed his turn was near last time out at Leicester and is beginning to look very well handicapped in the 5.35.

Elsewhere, I fancy Goldream to fly through late to land the 4.10 at Chester and, on the same card, Glenard has Sir Walter Scott to worry about in the 5.20.

In the evening at Wolverhampton have a second look at Malaysian Beach at 6.30 and then Hidden Asset in the finale at 9.00.
