Andrew Balding's three-year-old Mister Winston can take the step up to 1m1f in his stride and land the prestigious handicap at Headquarters.

The Cambridgeshire is always a tricky handicap but many times it has paid to look away from the favourites and at biggish odds Mister Winston looks to hold an excellent each-way chance and may just come out on top.

The Churchill colt has done much of his running at around a mile with some success.

But this slight step up in distance can bring out improvement to help him land a third career success on just his ninth start.

Mister Winston, who will be ridden by Nicola Currie, won a seven-and-a-half-furlong maiden at Chester at the end of June and was fourth, not beaten that far, behind the John and Thady Gosden-trained Fifth Column, who will be a rival again, in the bet365 Mile on the July course at Newmarket.
