FIFTY TWO LEFT IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE Forbearing was the most notable absentee following today`s confirmation stage for the #120,000 Tote Cambridgeshire at Newmarket. Sir Mark Prescott`s charge, who had been 12-1 third-favourite for the nine-furlong handicap with Ladbrokes, was not among the 52 horses who stood their ground for Saturday`s race. Favourite for the contest is the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Nooshman, an unlucky-in-running ninth behind Komistar in the Courage Best Handicap at Newbury last time. John Gosden is responsible for second favourite Bound For Pleasure who needs one horse above him in the weights to come out to get within the safety limit of 35 runners. The Manton trainer also has Grampas in the race but Supply And Demand, who had been a 20-1 chance for the first leg of the 'autumn double', has been withdrawn. Michael Hills has been booked for Air Defence, second to Bound For Pleasure at Doncaster last time and one of three horses Barry Hills has left in the race along with Zyz and Full Flow. Duck Row heads the weights on 9st 10lb with other notable entries including last year`s runner-up Bomb Alaska and the Dermot Weld-trained Jammaal. On the same card Irish and Yorkshire Oaks winner Petrushka heads the 14 confirmations for the Sun Chariot Stakes over a mile. However, Sir Michael Stoute`s filly is reportedly more likely to run in the Prix de l`Opera at Longchamp the following day. Falmouth Stakes winner Alshakr and the classy French-trained Lady Of Chad are also among the possibles for the Group Two event.
