Verdict

Nature Lover never threatened well regarded stablemate Stunning Beauty at Newmarket on her debut but should finish closer today while Shamaroon drops back down in trip having failed to show any progress over 1m2f at Newbury. Greycoat placed over 7f here on last year’s debut but a chance is taken on the newcomer TAQAREER. The Frankel colt is a full-brother to a winner in Ireland and could go close on his debut with the Gosden yard firing-in the winners in the last few days.
