Newmarket tips for Friday: Class-dropping Nathra can collect in Joel Stakes

Luca Cumani’s filly went down fighting by a neck to We Are Ninety in a 1m 2f contest at Newbury having raced keenly in the early stages and looked all over the winner when leading entering the final furlong.

The third home Nezwaah has won since and gone on to finish an excellent second to the unbeaten So Mi Dar at Yarmouth and Queen’s Trust, who came fourth, has since been placed in Group 1 contests behind Minding and Seventh Heaven.

That gives the form a rock solid look in the context of this contest and Beautiful Morning hails from a yard in good form and looks sure to appreciate the step up in trip.

Lots to like about Laurence in Silver Cambridgeshire

In the Silver Cambridgeshore that brings proceedings to a close (17.55), Laurence looks decent each-way value in a wide-open affair.

The four-year-old is a course winner and comes into the race on the back of a fine second to Khairaat at Doncaster.

Laurence stuck to the task well to be beaten just a length and the winner, to whom he was conceding 7lb, is an unexposed a thriving three-year-old who looked way ahead of his mark.

In the circumstances it was a cracking effort and although now 3lb higher in the weights the selection remains well-treated on the pick of his form and looks the ideal type for this test.
