Weekend Winners: Kate, Sam and Declan have their say on the Cambridgeshire

Ahead of another fun-filled Saturday with quality racing, the Weekend Winners team discussed their best bets for the feature Handicap.

The panel of Kate Tracey, Sam Boswell and Declan Rix paid special attention to Newmarket's feature Handicap, the bet365 Cambridgeshire.

With a field of 27 set to go to post, John Gosden looks to enhance his excellent record in the Cambridgeshire, now working alongside his son Thady, their leading light Gavriel heads the market in their pursuit of a record-extending sixth success in the race.

"I'm going to side with the five-year-old who was second to the well handicapped Raamee. Don't be afraid of horses towards the top of the handicap in this race with class coming to the fore in recent years.

"He looks like he is enjoying his racing at the minute having gone a little cold last year. This nine-furlong distance is perfect for him as they go hard throughout. I think he's a nice bet at a double figure price."

"This race sees the return of Tracey's Trends, this race shows you need to be a four-year-old, rated bet 102-109 and drawn low. The horse that comes out on top with these is the Alan King trained Alcarath.

"He wears the first time cheekpieces which shows sign of intent and you need a prominent runner in this style of race with the winners of previous year. The draw has completely switched in the last few years and the favourites in the race are drawn badly."

"I don't match any of Kate's trends and I'm clutching at straws in this competitive handicap. The pace looks spread across the field and wanted a horse that is towards the front. I landed on Spanish Voice who loves the course and distance.

"He's been well fancied on starts on the turf but slightly disappointed recently but this trip should be in his remit and I think he could go very well for Oisin Murphy who is looking clutch Billy back in the Jockeys' title."
