The field for this year's Hunt Cup looked light on genuine up-and-comers and that's reflected in a finish fought out by established, albeit rock-solid, handicappers, last year's Cambridgeshire winner leading home another big-field specialist; the field split evenly intially, merging at the 6f pole, by which time those held up from low draws were already on the back foot, and generally it was those positioned handily centre to near side that ran the most efficient races, Cai Shen and the favourite Dimension both shaping well in getting involved briefly from the opposite flank.
