Talking Horses: Lord North can help Gosden and Dettori get back on track


Fans of the John Gosden/Frankie Dettori combination endured a frustrating Friday but Lord North gives them every chance of a better Saturday in the Cambridgeshire

Fans of the John Gosden/Frankie Dettori combination endured a frustrating Friday but Lord North (3.40) gives them every chance of a better Saturday at around 8-1 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket. A progressive three-year-old, like the horse that won this race last year for the same trainer and jockey, he looked well treated when runner-up on his handicap debut recently.

That was his first run after a gelding operation and a break since May, suggesting Gosden may have had this target in mind for some time. The 33-1 about the doughty Baltic Baron has some each-way appeal.
