THE Cambridgeshire meeting at Newmarket marks the beginning of the end of the turf flat season with the 35-runner handicap (3.40) at the top of the betting agenda for handicap lovers.

One of the key factors in deciding which horse to invest in will be derived from where the pace is set to come from. Former winner Majestic Dawn (drawn 14) is probably the main protagonist in the pace arena along with Injazati (18), among six other horses that have in the past led or raced prominently. Among those other six, they are spaced evenly across the draw.

Let’s start with the big outsiders. First up I think that Scottish raider Geremia (drawn 4) will outrun his price. Although the son of Fastnet Rock has mainly been racing over further (up to two miles) on his last three starts over a mile-and-a-quarter, he has not been short of pace, running fifth to the smart Phantom Flight at York before twice finishing close up over the stiff Newcastle track behind Tregony.
