The 75th renewal of the Cesarewitch starts on Thursday evening and while this years event looks a little short on quality there is still some value to be had.
David Pruhs' Primitive Way heads the market and he should go well. This good looking son on True Honcho holds the track record over this trip at the Sandy Lane circuit but anyone who saw his last run at Peterborough, where he seemed to let Genesis Alix past him, will think twice before lumping on at a best price of 3/1.
Tony Collet looks to have a strong hand with Lenson Joker, Sherries Boy and Black On Air. Lenson Joker was just caught by Greyhound of the Year, Spiridon Louis, in the St Leger and this slightly shorter trip is in his favour. If his Derby exertions haven't taken too much out of him he's a real contender stepped back up to six bends.
At a bigger price though I fancy Sherries Boy to go well. Sherries Boy recently finished fourth in the Coral Regency behind the exciting Flying Winner and also ran well behind classy Aero Blackjack at Walthamstow last time out. He's not got a great draw in trap four in the third heat but it looks a relatively weak affair and I still fancy him to progress. The 14/1 about his chances put up by Corals looks too big to me and is worth taking each way.
Bet - 6 points each way Sherries Boy at 14/1 with Corals
