Betfred Cesarewitch betting and odds

The Betfred Cesarewitch provides the pick of the action on Future Champions day at Newmarket this weekend, writes Mikey Mumford. Thirty-four runners will head to post to do battle over 2m2f and Nicky Henderson’s Veiled currently shades favouritism in her hat-trick bid. Elsewhere, Seb Sanders and Sir Mark Prescott team up with Tuscan Gold, while Frankie Dettori takes the ride on Never Can Tell.

Betfred Cesarewitch betting tips

Veiled Looking to complete her hat-trick after wins here and at Ascot this year and won at further than this last time out. Eddie Ahern is aboard again and excellent claims should she get good ground. She looks the one to beat.

Keys Quite lightly raced sort who continued his fine three-year-old form into this year and duly picked up a decent Ascot Handicap last time. Has shown he is capable on different conditions although yet to race beyond 2m, there should be no doubts about the trip. The nature of his penultimate Newbury win should put him in the picture.

Kazbow Lost out the last twice in tight-knit finishes but had won gamely the time before at Doncaster when making all over 1m6f. Unraced beyond 2m and while connections seem confident he’ll get the trip not sure this is ideal, danger though if he stays.

Never Can Tell Game winner over 1m7f at Chester last time but had lost out to Colour Vision who he meets again the time before that. Work to do to reverse the form with that rival but a largely consistent performer who could easily outrun his odds but more for place claims than win purposes.

Cosimo De Medici Won the last twice including over course and distance last time in the trial for this race. Has more going for him than some of these and although often slowly away he often does his best work late in the day and each-way claims here.

Tuscan Gold Run only once this year when a one pace third at Goodwood but had been performing well on the all-weather and on turf last year. Lack of racing this campaign would be a slight worry though but stays at least 2m and chances if breaking well from central draw.

Beyond Has won half of his 10 career starts but the majority of those have come in weak races. However, his win in a Sandown event last time proved he has the ability to compete in better races but this company might be too much for him.

Becausewecan Good performer for Mark Johnston and won a decent event at Ffos Las last time when up against younger and improving sorts. Has work to do though on his Ascot effort in June where he finished in mid-division and never going the pace of the leaders but couldn’t be in better heart.

Another fascinating big field handicap which could go one of several ways. Veiled makes most appeal on her latest form and as a previous course winner but she’s taking on the men here. And for that reason, KEYS looks an excellent option; he was most impressive at Newbury two runs back and a similar performance should put him in the mix. Becausewecan and Cosimo De Medici have also been running consistently of late and can reward those each-way punters. [Mikey Mumford]
