Templegate's guide to Cesarewitch participants
HIPOP DE LOIRE - rating: 3
A real marathon horse, his last position was third in the Doncaster Cup. Experienced on various surfaces and able to endure the distance. A stable play for Mullins, but rarely wins. Might be a good betting idea.
DIVINE COMEDY - rating: 3
A solid mare who has shown excellent results this year. A lively second place at Goodwood confirms her form. Durable on every surface and has a chance to impress if she adds even more.
BARNSO - rating: 2
A competitive horse but not at the highest level. Travels well but may lack strength and class to win.
DAWN RISING - rating: 3
An experienced stayer, his last position was fifth at Curragh. Handles various surfaces, though winning will be difficult, has a chance for a good performance.
THE SHUNTER - rating: 2
The winner of last year's race, but at his age of 12, he may not stand up to the competition.
BUNTING - rating: 4
A promising horse, working under the watchful eye of Willy Mullins and Tony Bloom. Although he lacks experience at this distance, he has real potential.
MANXMAN - rating: 3
An honest participant with high potential. Last year, he finished in second place which increases his chances of success.
ALPHONSE LE GRANDE - rating: 4
The winner of last year, now he is 6 pounds heavier. After a good performance in York, he may surprise again, having the support of an experienced rider.
BEYLERBEYI - rating: 4
Has shown significant improvement this season. Looks like a stayer, responds quickly to changes.
FIREBLADE - rating: 3
Proven stamina over a distance of 2 miles, shows good form. Nevertheless, more is needed to succeed at this level.
NDAAWI - rating: 3
A true winner at Galway Hurdle, shows good performance in Chester. Experienced team, debuts with blinks.
MORDOR - rating: 5
A horse with good chances, due to a close finish over a distance of 2m4f at Goodwood. Watch out for strategy.
SEDDON - rating: 1
An old wrestler returning to the track after a long break. Has the will, but age and lack of form can hinder.
WINTER FOG - rating: 3
An experienced horse who won at Tramore. He may prove to be an outsider, but has a chance for success.
VAGUELY ROYAL - rating: 1
Has lost form after redirecting. Has shed weight but does not inspire great hopes.
REVEREND HUBERT - rating: 4
Has shown good results in recent competitions. Has every chance to shine again.
SURREY BELLE - rating: 2
A filly that is developing, has won at Ayr. Currently competing at a higher class, but needs more.
POLE STAR - rating: 3
Shows potential, handles distance well. We await improvement.
BELGRAVIAN - rating: 3
Performed well in the last race and has chances for success.
CAPRELO - rating: 3
Showed good results earlier but needs progress to succeed.
BASHFUL BOY - rating: 1
An old wrestler who is struggling at this level due to age.
Templegate's forecast
MORDOR may become the winner of the Cesarewitch for £175,000.
Gordon Elliott has good chances with this stayer who has performed excellently at this distance in Goodwood. Beylerbeyi may also show good results, and Willy Mullins has a strong team, led by Bunting, while last year's winner Alphonse Le Grande is in the game again.
