Day one

The first day of the Cambridgeshire meeting looks a fascinating one and the race I am most interested in is the one mile handicap at 2.35 in which I believe Blackcat Blackitten has a leading chance.

A winner of his last start at Kempton Park, the form of his turf efforts also shows that this youngster is improving at a rate of knots and taking into account William Buick’s claim he has only been penalised 4lbs for that impressive success.

Of course there are many dangers including John Gosden’s lightly raced Ekhitiaar, Kasumi and the hat-trick seeking Persian Express, but all of them will have to improve again at the weights to beat the selection.
