The Feilden Stakes at Newmarket on Tuesday was a disappointment when it came to unearthing Classic clues but the road towards the Guineas will begin in earnest on Wednesday with two fascinating trial races on the Rowley Mile.
The Nell Gwyn Stakes tends to vary in quality from season to season but the latest renewal looks like one of the best for many years. Brave Anna took the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes at this course last September but she can be backed at around 8-1 this morning which is an indication of the depth in the 11-strong field. Her top-flight success means she carries a 3lb penalty and the market takes the view that at least one of Wednesday’s opponents will take advantage.
