Newmarket feature among options

Roger Varian has given Nahrain a choice of three races as she attempts to stretch her 100% record to four. The filly has entries in the Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket and the Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies' Stakes at Gowran Park, both on Saturday, and the Qatar Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp on Sunday week. The daughter of Selkirk will be stepping up to Group company after winning a maiden, a handicap and a Listed race. "She's in the Sun Chariot and a race at Gowran on Saturday. She's also in the Opera the following weekend which gives us an extra week with the filly," said Varian. "I hope to get her out in one of these three options, but I can't commit to any of them yet. "She's a filly by Selkirk, who might just be happier with slightly easier conditions than we might see at Newmarket this weekend."
