Preview of this weekend’s racing with Farringdon: October 14-15
Including races at Newmarket

ANOTHER big Saturday across Britain and the biggest factor will be the weather with two low pressure systems about to sweep across these islands and therefore a chance that the going at Newmarket could be genuinely on the soft side of good, if not soft all round.

That makes the breakdown of the feature betting race of the day, the Cesarewitch Handicap over an extended two-and-a-quarter miles at 2.40, only slightly easier to dissect with a full field of 34 set to go to post.

As such, following his oh-so-game victory and return to winning form at Chester last time out, I have to side with the top weight TASHKHAN, who is now back up to a handicap mark of 109, having won off 104.
