Leader Writer can blow the field away in Cambridgeshire

O’Brien should have a big say on the day

After the disappointment of the Ayr Gold Cup washout last weekend, what a couple of days racing there are in store.

The Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket on Saturday takes centre stage of course. But there’s also not one, but two Group 1 renewals as well as a Group 2.

And that’s not even mentioning the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe card from France tomorrow.

Plus there are also three live races from Haydock – it really is a bumper weekend of action.

The Coral News Team delves into our tips book for some insight.

Bet of the Day

The 35-runner 1m1f Cambridgeshire Handicap can generally be a minefield to pick a winner from.

This is one of the biggest betting races of the year and that generally means value among a big spread of horses.

There is one horse, in particular, that intrigues more than the rest. And that’s Leader Writer.

Henry Tiller’s French five-year-old had a big reputation upon arrival at the Newmarket stables but had a few kinks to iron out.

A son of Pivotal, he was hugely impressive in a win over a mile at Ascot earlier this month on just his third start under Tiller’s tutelage.

At a furlong greater distance here than at Ascot, he should be well involved near the finish line.

As mentioned previously, there are so many in with a shout here but at big odds, Leader Writer is Coral’s Bet of the Day.
