It’s a big day of racing this Saturday at the Newmarket Cambridgeshire Festival, with the Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes, Cheveley Park Stakes and Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes all dominating today’s live stream schedule.
With the three top class contests dominating the card at HQ, this should be a cracking Saturday of action.
First up, Richard Hannon holds a strong hand in the 13:55 Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes, with the unbeaten Toronado and Havana Gold still engaged.

Toronado won the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster last time out while Havana Gold, who unseated Ryan Moore in France, has won all his other three starts.
Khalid Abdullah sponsors the race through his Juddmonte Farms operation but both his Ashdan and Dundonnell have been taken out of the race, leaving John Gosden’s Excess Knowledge as his only interest.
Aidan O’Brien has four remaining entries. Afonso de Sousa, Eye Of The Storm, Lines Of Battle and The Ferryman.
At 14:25 is the Cheveley Park Stakes and this looks a competitive renewal with plenty of upgrading fillies. Maureen is the 7/2 favourite after winning two of her last three races but there is also some market support for 6/1 chance Winning Express. She was impressive on her debut at Sandown and in a competitive listed fillies race at Salisbury last time out she came forward again in taking fashion.
This is another step forward again but she looks a classy filly and is improving all the time.
The Cambridgeshire Handicap is another popular event later on in the day but the third big race at HQ this Saturday is the Group 1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes, taking place at 15:00.
9/4 favourite Beauty Parlour makes her eagerly-awaited first start for Sir Henry Cecil after the French 1000 Guineas winner was switched to the English trainer by the Wildenstein family after finishing second in the French Oaks on her final start for Ellie Lellouche. Christophe Soumillon keeps the ride.
She’s joined in a star-studded field of eight by stablemate Chachamaidee (11/2), who is the mount of Tom Queally. John Gosden’s Prix Rothschild heroine Elusive Kate(5/2) heads the opposition along with Aidan O’Brien’s dual Group Two winner Up (9/1) and Gamilati (20/1) for Godolphin.
