Verdict
Nyaleti has the form in the book having chased home Clemmie in a Group 2 at Newmarket last time with Mistress Of Venice behind. She’d earlier seen off all bar another Ballydoyle runner, September, in the Chesham here and should take all the beating if handling this easier surface. But SPRING COSMOS didn’t look short of speed herself when landing a competitive Newmarket maiden on debut. She’s entitled to improve for that run and could be the value. Dance Diva made it three out of three in a Listed race at Newmarket earlier this month and will be there to pick up the pieces if the likely front-runners go off too quickly.
