Cambridgeshire calling: big hopes for Newmarket yards in the handicap that can throw up champions

Among the rich tapestry of Britain's major betting handicaps, the bet365 Cambridgeshire (3.40) holds special pride of place. 

There is the unique sight of up to 35 runners charging down the Rowley Mile, and the slightly unusual nine-furlong distance which can lure trainers of horses whose regular trip may be a furlong up or down. 

All of that is part of the puzzle to be solved, but perhaps the Cambridgeshire's greatest attraction is its habit of revealing future Group-class talent to the wider world.
