Constitution River is sure to be a warm order for the Boodles Raindance Dee Stakes, with Aidan O'Brien-trained charge having landed some notable wins already. It all started when running brightly to finish second in the July meeting at Newmarket, with the horse chasing home odds-on favourite Distant Storm before landing two consecutive Irish successes.
Sent off as overwhelming favourite at Galway, it came as no surprise to find the horse was able to score over seven furlongs on yielding ground. A month later and there was lots to like about the performance of the horse over the same distance at the Curragh. The odds-on market leader was able to score in the Futurity Stakes over seven furlongs.
Flushing Meadows is another O'Brien-trained runner who stands a chance, with many bettors likely to get on this horse from an each-way point-of-view. The horse might come on from an eighth-placed finish in the Red Rock Stakes at Leopardstown, with a success at the Curragh being recorded in June before further impressive performances.
Morshdi has claimed a victory in successive races and William Haggas will hope to achieve another when the horse lines up here. An April success at Newmarket involved travelling well over a mile and a furlong at odds of 14/1, with this success following a victory at York where the stiff mile at the Knavesmire for this talented charge.
2025 Dee Stakes Betting Tips
Aidan O’Brien is likely to rack up a number of winners at Chester this week and a victory might come in the Dee Stakes. The Irish handler has a couple of lively contenders in a race over one mile, two and a half furlongs. Acapulco Bay looks a fine contender and he was second last time out, with this horse running well at Naas this season.
The horse was two lengths off the pace over one mile, with that coming after a victory at the Curragh last August. However, Mount Kilimanjaro is a stablemate who is also trading at a similar price despite underwhelming last time out. Sent off as the 1/4 favourite, the runner could only manage third out of five places.
Previously to this, there was a smart performance at Saint-Cloud back in October. The horse performed well over a mile and this came after a victory at Longchamp in the beginning of the same month. A repeat of that performance in the Arqana Series - Haras de Bouquetot Criterium d'Automne could see the horse prosper here.
If Convergent lines up here, then it’s a horse we have to take seriously. Karl Burke saddles a three-year-old who is ridden by Sam James. There was a double success at Redcar, with these victories coming in October and then more recently in April. High Stock was impressive at Newmarket when fending off fourteen other runners.
