Future Champions Day Opens at Newmarket With Dewhurst Stakes and the Cesarewitch in Focus

Betting attention centers on Zavateri versus Distant Storm, with Irish-trained stayers prominent for the Cesarewitch.

Overview

  • The Group 1 Dewhurst features unbeaten Zavateri, recent National Stakes winner, against course-and-distance scorer Distant Storm, with Gstaad also well fancied.
  • Tipsters are divided on the Dewhurst, with Racing Post voices split between Distant Storm and Zavateri, talkSPORT siding with Zavateri, and others forecasting a close finish.
  • The Cesarewitch draws a large Irish contingent after three straight Irish wins, with Reverend Hubert widely backed following his runaway Trial success and a lighter mark than last year.
  • Selections for the marathon handicap vary, as The Sun’s Templegate tips Mordor, talkSPORT’s Jonny Pearson goes for Dawn Rising, and other picks include Beylerbeyi, Bunting and Manxman.
  • Sky Sports Racing carries live action from Chepstow, Hexham and Wolverhampton, where Chepstow’s Silver Trophy features last year’s winner Josh The Boss among 18 runners.
