Point heads Cambridgeshire weights

Championship Point has been handed top weight for the totesport Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on October 6.

Mick Channon’s charge is a 25-1 shot to defy his 10st burden and become the first horse since Cap Juluca in 1995 to win from the head of the handicap.

Pipedreamer (8st 12lb), The Illies (8st 5lb) and Sagredo (8st 10lb) currently share 12-1 favouritism with the race sponsors.

The former represents John Gosden and was last seen lifting a valuable Goodwood handicap, while Barry Hills’ The Illies was successful in his latest two outings in competitive handicaps at Ascot and York.

Sir Mark Prescott has won the Cambridgeshire twice before with Quinlan Terry (1988) and Chivalry (2003) and Sagredo is his possible.

Irish handler Jessica Harrington could be represented by the 25-1 shot Jumbajukiba (9st 11lb), successful in a Curragh handicap earlier this season and last seen collecting a Listed contest at Cork in facile fashion.

One-time Derby favourite Greek Well is a 16-1 chance to give Sir Michael Stoute a second Cambridgeshire success, following Intermission’s victory 31 years ago.
