JOHN GOSDEN has started the season in sparkling form and it is worth taking a chance on his Wajaha coming out on top in the Leslie Harrison Memorial Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket.

In what is really the first genuine Classic trial of the season, Luca Cumani’s Fantasia is likely to be all the rage.

As she has been bought by George Strawbridge, who also has Rainbow View, she is being targeted at the French Guineas – but may be vulnerable first time up.

On the other hand, Wajaha is race-fit, having won at Kempton just over a fortnight ago, and has a really progressive profile.

A daughter of a 2000 Guineas winner Haafhd, she may try to emulate her father if Hamdan Al Maktoum’s filly proves up to this task.

Jeremy Noseda’s Awinnersgame is the one to be on in the Betterbet European Free Handicap.

A consistent juvenile, he won a big sales race at Doncaster before finishing a close-up sixth behind Soul City in the Goffs Million at the Curragh.

Suited by the race conditions and with the assistance of Johnny Murtagh, a big run looks assured.

Rockhampton went into the notebook as a horse to follow after his recent Leopardstown triumph and it will be interesting to see how he fares stepped up in class for the Tattersalls Timeform 3-YO Trophy.

The Galileo colt failed to set the world alight as a juvenile but looked a typical Aidan O’Brien improver when scooting up on his comeback.

He is only 25-1 for the Derby at Epsom but expect those odds to contract considerably with a big performance at Headquarters.

Tarzan showed enough in three maiden outings to suggest he can make a winning start to his handicap career at Beverley.

His third place behind Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Donativum in a Yarmouth maiden reads particularly well and he must have every chance off a mark of just 71.

Odds-on backers had their fingers burnt when Khan Tengri was beaten at Wolverhampton last time but compensation awaits at Kempton.

He has been placed on three of his four starts and with first-time blinkers applied, few would begrudge him an overdue success in the digibet Sports Betting Maiden Stakes.

There is plenty for jumping enthusiasts to enjoy at Cheltenham where Mr Boo can show his liking for fast ground once again in the ESN Silver Trophy.

Gary Moore’s ten-year-old won a decent contest at Lingfield recently, beating another fast ground performer Laskari.
