Jim Goldie's Hillview Boy to have a feasible chance of getting into the Cambridgeshire and is definitely on our shortlist but given a weight of age allowance, TIGER REIGNS has a decent opportunity to complete a four timer here while Authentic could be a danger. Versatile as far as the ground is concerned, the selection has racked up his winning sequence by diminishing margins. This is definitely his best trip, scoring four times from five runs over it, and he has to be considered. Hillview Boy was expected to run a big race on day one of the Western Meeting and duly finished third behind Demolition. He races off the same mark here so looks sure to run his race again. Authentic was a multiple winner in Italy on a variety of going and any market move for him should be noted while Lang Shining is another potential player
