TODAY and tomorrow are when the flat season really hit a peak high for all generations of horses from juveniles, through handicapper and older group horses with the Champions Day meeting at Ascot following on further down the line.

For betting purposes it is the Cambridgeshire Handicap (3.40) at Newmarket that will take centre stage this afternoon and there is little doubt if there is a group class horse lurking in a handicap that Greek Order is that charge having raced just the five times in his career, and off a mark of 85 easing home by four-and-a-half lengths off 85 in a class three handicap at Newbury.

A 10lbs rise in the weights obviously requires a lot more, but he remains unexposed. As a betting proposition though I am quite happy for the three-year-old to win at around 4/1 and miss out. But in a field of 35 runners the call has to be to find an each-way play with winners in the past 10 years coming home at prices ranging between 9/2 and 50/1 and with the last three winners returning at 40/1, 40/1 and 25/1.
