15:40 bet365 Cambridgeshire Handicap (Heritage Handicap)

Race preview

This trip looks perfect for the Andrew Balding-trained GOOD BIRTHDAY, who remains well treated off 98 which is just 3lb higher than when scoring readily at Beverley late last month. Still open to improvement and with the form of his one-length third in the London Gold Cup at Newbury reading well, the son of Dabirsim should get a good pace to aim at and will be doing all his best work late in the day. It is easy to see why Le Don De Vie has been popular in the betting as he has won three of his four starts this year, is the mount of Ryan Moore and represents the yard responsible for the winner in 2009. Fifth Position has had a break since Goodwood and is of interest on his handicap bow, while Lord North is unexposed for last year's winning trainer/jockey combination and Bedouin's Story will no doubt catch the eye inside the last couple of furlongs.
