The 2018 Dewhurst looks an terrific edition with four potential stars lining up in over Newmarket's seven-furlong course.
Betting this year is headed by the regally bred, and particularly talented, Too Darn Hot, and off a high rating performance in Doncaster's Champagne Stakes last time that looks a fair assessment.
Assessed Prices: Too Darn Hot $1.80; Anthony Van Dyck $4.20; Sangarius $11.00; Advertise $11.00.
Too Darn Hot currently trades around even money so there is an edge there for those keen to play at the top of the market according to Racing and Sports' Priceline.
Where the Priceline disagrees most, however, is with the second pick. Sangarius comes up as the market's elect as the main danger to Too Darn Hot but the Priceline fancies Anthony Van Dyck off a strong performance in Ireland last time.
The National Stakes in Ireland is the highest rating piece of 2yo form in Europe to date, and in running second Anthony Van Dyck ran to a mark that looks very competitive with the favourite here.
Sangarius is yet to prove that he can run to that level and hot profile or not he looks over bet early on.
