Tanya's Blog - Dare To Dance is a non-runner

Dare To Dance is a non-runner but judging by the conversation I had with the grafters at Barking, Corals HQ business is good with a massive spread of runners being backed.  In the Betfred Cambridgeshire, Sky Bet are offering first six places while quite a few others are offering each-way first five places inc Betfred, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, Boylesports, Bet365, Victor Chandler and Stan James.   CIRCUMVENT is my pick with the hope that Christophe Lemaire sends him to the front on the rail as soon as possible as he travels well, can deal with the big field scenario and ran in the race last year.  Proponent and Constant Contact are my each-way alternatives.  To give you an idea of just how hard the race is even with the non-runners, the 15 tipsters in the Racing Post selection box have come up with eleven different selections.   SAPHRESA deserves her hat-trick in the Sun Chariot and could cap a fabulous day for jockey Christophe Lemaire.   Just to pause as I’ve lost concentration the coffee machine in the press room is now taking a hammering, the photographers are in need of refreshments ahead of a very captivating day.  Tom Peacock, David Stevens, George Primarolo are all early birds working hard there’s much preparation to do in a day where quotes will be plenty.   Back to the selections, the Cheveley Park and Royal Lodge look too hard to call, although Lightning Pearl’s credentials are certainly well up to taking on Best Terms.   At the time of writing it is 10.30am and now time to head off to the Channel 4 Racing programme meeting.  There is much to discuss ahead of a schedule which includes coverage of four courses.  You can catch all the action from Chester, Newmarket, Haydock, and Market Rasen all on Racing UK, isn’t it great the jumps are becoming prominent once more.   POINTERS   8 of the last 10 Cheveley Park Stakes winners had won last time out   17 of the last 20 winners of the Cheveley Park Stakes had run three times or more   17 of the last 20 winners of the Cheveley Park Stakes had won at least twice   The top three in the betting in the Cheveley Park Stakes have provided 17 of the last 20 winners   Christophe Lemaire has had five winners from his 12 rides at Newmarket   Nanton has not won in six attempts at Newmarket   Proponent has won twice from five starts at Newmarket   27 of the last 30 Cambridgeshire winners had finished in the first four last time out   The Newbury Stakes has produced four of the last six Cambridgeshire winners   1985 was the last time a jockey won both the Sun Chariot and the Cambridgeshire in the same year.   Seven of the last 20 favourites have won the Cambridgeshire   Three and four-year-olds have won 25 of the last 34 Cambridgeshires   The Cambridgeshire was run on the July course in 1939, 1941, 1986 and 1991   Since 1996 the horse running from stall 17 in the Cambridgeshire has won 4 times, second once and fourth once today Nice Style out of the lucky stall   No horse has carried more than 9 5 to victory in the Cambridgeshire since 1995   Nine of the last ten Cambridgeshire winners were drawn 10 or above   Since 1988 only two Cambridgeshire winners were aged over 6   Only 5 horses aged four or over have won the Sun Chariot in the last 30 years   Since 1988 18 of the Sun Chariot winners came from the top three in the betting   18 of the last 20 Sun Chariot winners finished either first, second or third on their most recent run.
