KNEGARE NOW THE CLEAR EASTER CUP FAVOURITE

Ian Fortune

Callaway Knegare may have suffered a narrow defeat in his opening round assignment but he has been promoted to outright favouritism with the sponsors for the Bresbet Easter Cup.

The brilliant Juvenile Derby champion flew home after early bother and is now just 5-1 to land the oldest classic on the calendar.

His nearest rival in the ante-post market is Hopes Teddy. A brilliant winner on Saturday when showing massive early speed, the Pat Buckley trained star is 7-1 second choice in the market, just ahead of English Derby champion De Lahdedah on 8-1.

Da Bold Falcon is next at double figure odds on 10-1, while defending champion Clonbrien Treaty is joined on 12-1 with impressive opening round scorer Cushie The Best and Untold Dollar. The fill market can be seen below
