14.20 Trustatrader King Charles II Stakes

Parade ring updates:

Marvelman: Compact, wears red hood but been very relaxed. Fine.

Big Cyril: Well balanced and clearly fit. Sweating noticeably and needs to be managed.

Diego Ventura: Impressive physical, smaller, muscular colt, sprinting type. No fitness concerns on return.

13.45 Nyetimber Newmarket Stakes

Video replay

Result:

1st Alpine Trail 10/11 favourite

2nd Nebras

Parade ring updates:

Verdict: Alpine Trail best.

Alpine Trail: Instant eyecatcher, muscular, well put together, added a second handler as little on toes. Relaxed now. Positive.

Ernst Blofeld: Big, strong colt has become quite warm but likeable. Wears red hood and has show few signs of inexperience but no concerns.

Nebras: Strengthened up since two. Always been a muscular type, become a little warm.

Harvey: Sweaty and being quite strong in the pre-parade. Big colt with plenty of presence, not unfit but you'd expect him to come forward a touch from whatever he does today. Heavily sweating now, would be a concern. WITHDRAWN

Aurel: Impressive physical, tall, leggy and athletic. Still green, expect he will learn plenty from today.

13.10 Darley EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes

Winning trainer reaction

Andrew Balding: "It is a relief that she is a winner but she probably didn’t quite see out the trip as well as we hoped so we would have to consider coming back down in trip. I thought she would stay it well, but Hollie just felt she was running on fumes a little bit in the last half-a-furlong. I think her class and experience has got her through it.

“Time will tell, but I think there were some nice fillies in the race and it wasn’t a bad effort. We could possibly look at the Sandringham with her, but we want to discuss it with Imad (Alsagar) and we will see how he feels, but it is a possibility.”

Video replay:

Result:

1st Zgharta 13/8 favourite

2nd Pearla 10/3

Parade ring updates:

Verdict: Zhgarta best and has come froward from last run. Pearla best of the debutants.

Zhivah: Still more growing room and development to come. Late to the paddock but taking everything in her stride.

Zgharta: Thought she'd come on a touch when second at the Craven Meeting and she has muscled up, particularly over quarters. Relaxed attitude. A positive.

Pearla: A lovely stamo of a filly, tall and athletic. No fitness concerns but she's a bit green, having a good look at everything. Will learn plenty.

Zaltana: Compact filly, presents more like a sprinting type with plenty of power. Touch warm, but no concerns.

Silent Love: Good size, wears the red hood and has two handlers but quiet.

Understudy: Small filly but looks bigger. Covers the ground in the walk. Having a good look at everything, touch green.
