50/1

Mount Nelson colt, dam a winner and closely related to two-year-old Listed winner Tigrilla. Yard's juveniles have been in fine form this year and while he looked very green on debut, he should do better here for a trainer in form.

Forecasts

Ghaiyyath (11/8), Tiffin Top (11/4), Para Mio (7/1), Midi (8/1), Wild West Hero (12/1), Gododdin (16/1), Mutanaqel (20/1), Sherzy Boy (22/1), Bombyx (25/1), Blazing Tunder (25/1), Silver Crescent (33/1), Proschema (40/1), Pippin (40/1), Nelson River (50/1), Highcastle (66/1), Baasha (100/1), Pentland Hills (100/1), Boniface (100/1)

John Gosden and Frankie Dettori have a fine record at Newmarket and it would be no surprise to see TIFFIN TOP run a big race after a respectable effort at Doncaster on debut. Midi has some fancy entries and is seemingly the Sir Michael Stoute first-string while Hugo Palmer runners often come on for their debut and Gododdin may do better here. The expensive Ghaiyyath was disappointing on debut but any market support should be noted and he may come on for that run.
