ROYAL HUNT CUP MAY BE PIRNIE'S 1956 OBJECTIVE

As a race, the Cambridgeshire is a law unto itself, but it always leaves plenty of lessons for the future. The first thing to look for in the field is next year's Lincolnshire Handicap winner.

Last year I thought I had found this in All's Caprice, but he did not stay the Lincoln Eille and had to be content with the Victoria Cup. This year I think we can do a little better.
