Day one of Newmarket's Cambridgeshire Meeting comes up on Thursday with a seven-race offering at Headquarters including the Group 3 Somerville Tattersall Stakes. They race at Newmarket from 1.35-5.
05, with the feature off at 3.20, and ground conditions are set to be 'good'. We've picked out a trio to follow at Newmarket on Thursday as the Cambridgeshire Meeting gets up and running.
2.45 Newmarket – British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies' Handicap (Class 2, 6f) Our first port of call is the Class 2 British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies' Handicap over 6f in which Executive Decision is fancied to go well for Jamie and Saffie Osborne. The Ardad filly won at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to soft) last summer off a mark of 74 and carried her 6lb penalty to success at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) nine days later.
That got her a mark in the mid-90s and she was duly well-held in three further runs in the autumn. There was encouragement on her comeback at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May and she then ran well when fourth at Epsom (6f, good to soft) on Derby Day in June in a valuable handicap. Her only start since saw her probably left with too much to do from the rear at Ascot (6f, good) in July as she finished fourth.
She has been eased a further 2lb and is on a tempting mark now with conditions underfoot to suit. 3.20 Newmarket – Somerville Tattersall Stakes (Group 3, 7f) The feature Somerville Tattersall Stakes sees unbeaten Diego Ventura looking to give Wathnan Racing an.
