Hinterland is Glorious Goodwood-bound after landing a gamble in the totescoop6 Heritage Handicap at Sandown.

The heavily-supported 7-2 favourite was in charge fully two furlongs out and Philip Robinson only had to drive him out to score by a length and a quarter from the 2005 winner, Ace Of Hearts.

Hinterland will now try to land another totesport-sponsored handicap for Michael Jarvis in Goodwood's totesport Mile on August 4.

He was cut to 7-1 favourite from 12-1 by the same firm for the totesport International at Ascot on July 29 but Goodwood looks the likely destination for him.

Jarvis' only worry came when Hinterland proved reluctant to load.

"He put up a little protest and has had problems at the stalls, but we'd put him through twice at home earlier in the week and he was as good as gold," he said.

"He ran a cracker to finish fourth in the Hunt Cup and that was a competitive race. I was amazed the handicapper left us alone for it."

Jamie Poulton was dreaming of a Melbourne Cup bid with Land 'N Stars after the 16-1 chance upset odds-on Sergeant Cecil in the Addleshaw Goddard Stakes.

Paul Doe timed his challenge to perfection on Land 'N Stars who nailed the favourite in the last 100 yards and held on by a neck.

"He's won £100,000 in Dubai and now this Listed race. One day people will believe me when I say the horse is class," said Poulton.

"This morning I went out and backed him to win three grand."

Of the Flemington idea, for which the winner is a 20-1 shot with Paddy Power, Poulton added: "It's a once in a lifetime chance for me and this horse, but first I want to run him in the Goodwood Cup."

Pivotal Point was cut to 20-1 from 33s by Stan James and to the same price from 25s by William Hill for next week's Darley July Cup following his half-length success over Benbaun in the Laurent-Perrier Champagne Sprint Stakes.

Peter Makin has had far from a clear run of things with his winner since the gelding landed a gamble in the 2004 Stewards' Cup.

"I'm sure he picked up a bug in Hong Kong and he was so flat I had to put him away," explained the trainer.

"Now he's right back to his best, and if he's all right he'll run at Newmarket next week."

Henry Cecil celebrated his biggest success of the season when Star Cluster battled to victory in the Listed race for fillies.

Khalid Abdullah's three-year-old responded bravely to Richard Hughes' urgings to get the verdict after a triple photo-finish to the Weatherbys Vat Services Stakes.

The 5-1 shot got home by a short head from Silver Touch, with Expensive third and odds-on favourite La Mottie close up in fourth.

"I thought she had a great chance today. The one I was frightened of was La Mottie who came from a long way back. But she wouldn't get beaten. She does just enough," said Cecil.

"She is lazy and when they came to beat her she just kept doing enough and she is very genuine.

"She's still coming to herself and would have preferred a bit of give in the ground.

"I'd like to think she could win a Group race but whether it would be in this country or Deauville or somewhere, I don't know. We will have to see what the owner wants to do."

Hughes completed a 53-1 double on The Snatcher (8-1) when Richard Hannon's charge proved three-quarters of a length too strong for Crocodile Bay in the Inkerman Handicap.
