2023 Chesham Stakes Betting Odds at Ascot racecourse

Saturday, 24 June 2023

The first race on the Royal Ascot Day Five racecard is the Chesham Stakes, with the runners and riders competing over seven furlongs on what is likely to be good ground. Richard Fahey trains Golden Mind and this could be the pick of the two-year-olds, with this horse one of several in the race that comes into the clash off the back of a victory.

La Guarida runs for Richard Hannon and could be in the final shake-up in this race, while Aidan O’Brien goes into the encounter mob-handed. It’s debatable which of the runners has the strongest chance out of Buttons, Pearls And Rubies and Content, although they all have a similar rating and it will be interesting to see the jockey ride of each horse.

2023 Chesham Stakes Tips

There could be money for Golden Mind when it comes to this Day Five opener at the 2023 Royal Ascot meeting, with Richard Fahey saddling a runner who was successful last time out. A maiden stakes victory over six furlongs at Leicester Racecourse was achieved by a neck in a field of ten runners and there could be more to come over a longer distance.

La Guarida has strong claims for Richard Hannon, with the runner having obliged at Goodwood in a previous outing. Sent off at betting odds of 7/1, the horse was not expected to trouble favourite Indispensable although a victory by over two lengths means that the runner is now among the favourites to win the 2023 Chesham Stakes.

Aidan O’Brien will be confident of some lively performances from his stable crew and that includes Buttons who has recorded one victory from one run thus far. Sent off as the 4/6 favourite in a fillies’ maiden at Leopardstown, the runner was able to score over seven furlongs and there could be more success this time around.

Pearls And Rubies has also recorded one from one thus far, with a 3/1 success being achieved over five furlongs when winning on good ground. Content was third in a first outing and that was in the same race as Buttons, although there wasn’t much separating the two stablemates and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the form reversed.
