Boiling Point
Defied top weight in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) and holds a leading chance provided that smart handicap form is reproduced; hasn't transferred it back to Group level this term but he's respected on ratings and is a similar type to last year's winner of this race (for same connections).

From the connections
“Boiling Point is a very good horse and is really a Group horse - he will win a good Group race. But Cliff [Lee, jockey] is so good from the front. There was no point pulling him round, even with top-weight. It was all about getting him into a nice rhythm and he was either going to be good enough or he wasn't. We were always going to go far side from that draw (6) and it has worked out really well. I don't know how much weight exactly he was giving the second, but he's just held on. He was running on fumes for the last 100 yards but as I say Cliff is brilliant from the front and I'm never worried when I ask him to go forward. He will go back into Group company now. I don't know where yet - today was the plan - Karl Burke, trainer.”
“Boiling Point nearly won a Group Three here at the end of last year. He has got away with it today, but he will be better on good to firm ground. He has looked like he needed every yard of it today. I need to speak his owner Sheikh Obaid but he has had two quick runs now and I would quite like to put him away and wait for the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. The stiff seven furlongs there should suit him and I thought all through the winter that it could be the race for him. After that, we can decide whether we step him up to a mile. In my opinion, it looks like he would stay a mile - Roger Varian, trainer.”
