2024 Dewhurst Stakes Entries

Aidan O'Brien has saddled five of the last nine winners of the Dewhurst, and three of those have returned an odds-on price. The firm favourite for this year's renewal is O'Brien's Acomb Stakes winner The Lion In Winter, who could be backed into odds-on favouritism after Acomb runner-up, Wimbledon Hawkeye won the Royal Lodge.

Charlie Appleby will be hoping to see unbeaten Superlative Stakes winner, Ancient Truth hand him a third Dewhurst victory at Newmarket. Joseph O'Brien's Scorthy Champ brings Group One-winning form to the table, having upset Henri Matisse in the National Stakes at the Curragh.

Field Of Gold could step up into top level company for the first time, having run out an impressive winner of the Solario Stakes at Sandown. Aidan O'Brien's Henri Matisse and Royal Lodge winner, Wimbledon Hawkeye also hold an entry.

Bay City Roller will be looking to build on an impressive victory in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster. George Scott's unbeaten colt could be joined in the field by Solario runner-up Matauri Bay, and National Stakes this Seagulls Eleven.

Ides Of March, Acapulco Bay and Camille Pissarro have also been entered by Aidan O'Brien. Other possible runners include Coventry Stakes winner Rashabar, Royal Lodge third Angelo Buonarroti and Beresford Stakes hero Motazhell.
