It's Dettori and Gosden again as Lord North reigns in Cambridgeshire

Another day, another big-race winner for Frankie Dettori and John Gosden as the well-backed Lord North obliged for favourite-backers with a cosy success in the Cambridgeshire.

Sent off the 9-2 favourite for the 1m1f handicap, the three-year-old produced an eyecatching turn of foot to catch the Alan King-trained Beringer close home.

With barely a flick of the whip and able to afford a quick glance, it was Dettori again at his best, and it was his third success in the race following Halling in 1994 and Wissahickon last year.

The winning rider said: "He was a little bit on and off the bridle, but when I got a bit serious he came good for me. I had to be patient and wait for my gaps but he had plenty left.

"When he hit top gear I went 'that's it' and I was able to ease him in the last 100 yards. He only carried 8st 10lb today but he's low mileage and there's plenty more to come."

Gosden, who trained Wissahickon to win the competitive handicap last term, added that Lord North could follow a similar all-weather campaign to his stablemate.

He said: “As with the horse that won this race last year, we might look towards the all-weather races, some nice Listed races and then of course the Winter Derby, that sort of route for him.

“There is a very good programme for horses like him in December and into the new year now. I thought he was a potential Group-class horse earlier in the year but his mind was the problem.

“It was a bit cheeky of Frankie in the closing stages, all that looking around – that's the end of handicaps now!”

Beringer, last seen finishing down the field at York, bounced back to form when finishing three-quarters of a length behind in second, while Good Birthday produced another good effort four lengths back in third.

Lord North holds an entry for the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot on Champions Day next month, for which he is a 4-1 chance with Betfair.
