Verdict
TO NATHANIEL is going the right way judged on a recent third over 1m2f at Chelmsford and that’s also the best piece of form on offer. The Gosden colt is taken to improve further over this extra distance and confirm latest running with Royal Castle. Charlie Appleby’s charge is likely to finish closer with that debut effort under his belt and jockey bookings suggesting he’s preferred to stablemate Kingswear, a brother to Group 2 winner Dartmouth, while Ispahan and Punctuation are other newcomers to note.
