2011 Cambridgeshire Odds Favour Dare To Dance

A lightly-raced three-year-old colt by Danehill Dancer is getting the nod ahead of a tough group of handicappers in one of the biggest late-season contest at Newmarket. The Jeremy Noseda-trained bay has only been on-course three times running 211 lifetime with attempts at Kempton, Sandown and a previous run at Newmarket.

Sent off as the favourite in both of his victories, he is considered the slim favourite again for this contest with a 6/1 margin being bandied about by most major bookmakers.

He had been heavily-backed in ante post action over the past few weeks and only just made it into the handicap with the 33rd spot in a field of 35. He is set to carry 8st 9lb over the 1m1f distance.

Race sponsor George Primarolo declared “"Ante-post punters will be breathing a sigh of relief after the well-backed Cambridgeshire favourite Dare To Dance scraped into the field... There is a chance he may not go off as jolly as there has been plenty of support for Questioning over the past few days.”

Questioning, trained by John Gosden for Princess Haya of Jordan, hasn't won since breaking his maiden in his first attempt last August, but he put in a very solid shift to finish second to King Torus in listed company at Haydock. Just a quarter-length back at the line, he looks to be progressing nicely after a tough summer navigating a number of top contests while hitting the board three times.

Questioning can be backed in the region of 8/1.

Cry Fury grabbed a handicap contest one-back at Goodwood in early August but was well-beaten at Doncaster in the St Leger under card. The Juddmonte-bred will be riding in Khalid Abdullah's colours and should retain William Buick in the irons.

Godolphin's upstart four-year-old Man Of Action will also be attracting some attention for this one having captured a handicap contest in the St Leger under card with Frankie Dettori in the irons. Look for him in the region of 12/1.
