Expert Eye now 4-7 for Dewhurst glory

Expert Eye is 4-7 (from 4-6) favourite with Coral for Saturday’s Darley Dewhurst Stakes, ahead of the well-backed Emaraaty at 9-2 (from 5-1), following the final declarations for the Newmarket Group One today.  Verbal Dexterity, who had been 9-2 second favourite, was the biggest name missing from the final line up.

“While Expert Eye remains a red-hot favourite to cement his position as favourite for next year’s QIPCO 2,000 Guineas, the absence of Verbal Dexterity from the Dewhurst field should ensure the well-backed Emaraaty, who was 8-1 at the start of the week, is sent off second favourite on Saturday,” said Coral’s David Stevens.

Also at Newmarket on Saturday is the Betfred Cesarewitch, for which John Constable is the 7-1 market leader with Coral, ahead of Who Dares Wins at 9-1.

“Unsurprisingly for one of the longest races in the Flat calendar, the Cesarewitch betting is dominated by trainers better known for their jumping exploits, with in-form hurdler John Constable favourite to give Evan Williams a big race win at Flat HQ,” said Coral’s David Stevens.
