Confirmed runners and riders for the 2023 Dewhurst Stakes and Cesarewitch Handicap at Newmarket - plus a free bet

Dewhurst favourite City Of Troy is set to face up to seven rivals at Newmarket on Saturday (2.00) as he bids to extend his unbeaten record to three for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore.

After comfortably scoring on his debut in July, the son of Justify landed the Group 2 Superlative Stakes by six and a half lengths from Haatem before being ruled out of the National Stakes last month due to unsuitable ground.

Iberian, winner of the Champagne Stakes last time, is among those who will attempt to deny the likely odds-on favourite, who also heads the market for next year's Qipco 2,000 Guineas.

National Stakes winner Henry Longfellow and Coventry Stakes winner River Tiber are notable absentees for O'Brien, who is also represented by Henry Adams.

Cesarewitch: market leader Pied Piper remains in contention

Market leader Pied Piper featured among 36 declarations for the highly competitive Cesarewitch Handicap (2.40) at Newmarket on Saturday.

The Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old, who was narrowly denied in last season's County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, will be partnered by Ryan Moore.

Vino Vitrix, who is also prominent in the market, remains in contention for Hughie Morrison, who is also set to be represented by Not So Sleepy.

Grand Providence has secured the final spot in the 34-runner field and will attempt to follow up her success in last month's Cesarewitch Trial.

Rachael Blackmore is set to ride Jackfinbar for Willie Mullins, who will have five runners in a race he has won three times in the last five years.
