Malton-based trainer Brian Ellison has entered 10 of his charges for the Betfred Cambridgeshire, notably Saptapadi who was fifth to Twice Over in a Group Two race at York last month and the useful hurdler Ultimate. Ellison’s eight entries for the Betfred Cesarewitch are headed by the talented hurdlers, Bothy and Neptune Equester.

Tony Martin took the Betfred Cambridgeshire in 1999 with She’s Our Mare and the Caracciola (2008), has entered Sentry Duty and Ascot Stakes winner Veiled. Micky Hammond could rely on Goodwood Stakes victor Hollins.

Noel Meade has entered top class hurdler Donnas Palm, while Ian Williams has engaged Shergar Cup Stayers’ winner Ile De Re and Petara Bay could line up for Robert Mills having landed the Summer Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last time.

Mark Johnston has engaged nine in pursuit of a third Betfred Cesarewitch success to follow Spirit Of Love (1998) and Dancer (2004), including Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes winner Fox Hunt. Johnston also has six entries for the Betfred Cambridgeshire with Jutland leading the Middleham trainer’s pursuit of Betfred’s 100,000 bonus.
