Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 14 Journalists Posted April 14 Tuesday, Newmarket, Britain, post time: 14:25, BET365 FEILDEN STAKES-Listed, £55,000, 3yo, 9f 0y Field: Almeric (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Green Storm (Ire) (Circus Maximus {Ire}), King Of Cities (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Last Galileo (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Law Of Design (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}), Masai Moon (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Nightwalker (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Sallaal (Ire) (Frankel {GB}). TDN Verdict: With the Derby and Prix du Jockey Club on the horizon, this early pointer sees Godolphin put forward one of their list of possible protagonists for the Classics in the Kempton debut winner Masai Moon and he is cut from the right cloth as a relative of Galileo (Ire) and Sea The Stars (Ire). Also in the mix is Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's Yarmouth novice scorer Sallaal, who as a half-brother to Benbatl (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Elmalka (GB) (Kingman {GB}) has great upside as does Juddmonte's G3 Autumn Stakes third Nightwalker, a half-brother to Whitebeam (GB) (Caravaggio). Tuesday, Newmarket, Britain, post time: 15:00, BET365 EARL OF SEFTON STAKES-G3, £85,000, 4yo/up, 9f 0y Field: First Conquest (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), Ambiente Friendly (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Cairo (Ire) (Quality Road), Lavender Hill Mob (GB) (Expert Eye {GB}), Ottoman Fleet (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Persica (Ire) (New Bay {GB}). TDN Verdict: Ambiente Friendly has his first outing for the James Owen stable as he bids to get back on track after a finale that went flat in the G2 Prix Niel in September. The Derby runner-up and Irish Derby third encounters Persica, who threatened briefly in the G1 Champion Stakes and gets the quicker ground he prefers, and one of Godolphin's classy stalwarts Ottoman Fleet whose tally of four wins and a second in five starts on his home track include the last two renewals of this. Tuesday, Newmarket, Britain, post time: 15:35, LANWADES STUD NELL GWYN STAKES-G3, £85,000, 3yo, f, 7f 0y Field: Arabian Dusk (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Biniorella Bay (GB) (New Bay {GB}), Cartwheel (GB) (Lightning Spear {GB}), Celestial Orbit (GB) (No Nay Never), Nardra (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Qarlyga (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}), Remaat (GB) (Kodiac {GB}), Saguaro Blossom (Ire) (Arizona {Ire}), Verse Of Love (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) and Zanzoun (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Godolphin already have the hot favourite for the 1,000 Guineas in Desert Flower (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) and so it is significant that another TDN Rising Star in Verse Of Love is set to go off favourite for his longstanding trial. So impressive over this course and distance in October, she is bred for further than this and will have to contend with a stern test of maturity facing the likes of the fast G2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes winner and G1 Cheveley Park Stakes third Arabian Dusk and Listed Star Stakes scorer Celestial Orbit. William Haggas withdrew the 8 1/2-length soft-ground six-furlong Haydock novice winner Nardra from Saturday's G3 Fred Darling Stakes and whether she needs this good-to-firm surface remains to be seen.
