Leading Cambridgeshire fancy Caradoc taken out of prestigious handicap

Caradoc, one of the leading fancies for the Bet365 Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket on Saturday, does not feature among the five-day confirmations for the £160,000 cavalry charge.

The Ed Walker-trained son of Camelot was vying for favouritism with some firms following his victory at Newbury on Saturday and was as short as 8-1 in places, but he has been ruled out of the heritage handicap.

Raising Sand, third in the Superior Mile Stakes at Haydock two weeks ago, tops the weights at 9st 10lb for the 1m1f contest, while Royal Hunt Cup winner Afaak, Seniority and Victory Command could also feature.

John Gosden, who won the Cambridgeshire with Wissahickon 12 months ago, could be represented by Lord North and Star Of Bengal.

In the absence of Caradoc, Lord North and the Hughie Morrison-trained Le Don De Vie are disputing favouritism at around 8-1.

Phoenix Stakes scorer Siskin missed a meeting with Pinatubo in the National Stakes but looks set to go head-to-head with another Godolphin star in Prix Morny winner Earthlight in the Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes.

The Richard Hannon-trained Mums Tipple, who looked a top prospect when bolting up in a sales race at York's Ebor meeting, could add extra spice to the race, while stablemate Threat could also feature.

Raffle Prize, who went down fighting when runner-up to Earthlight in the Prix Morny, heads 15 confirmations for the Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes.

Royal Ascot winner Daahyeh, runner-up in Group 1 company at the Curragh last time, could represent Roger Varian, while Aidan O'Brien, who has won the last three runnings of the contest, could saddle up to four runners.

The Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes has an illustrious roll of honour and previous winners of the Group 2 include Frankel and Roaring Lion.

This year's contenders could include Highland Chief, who finished third behind Pinatubo in the Chesham Stakes, and Futurity Stakes scorer Armory.
