Nashirah had a tough task on her latest start when taking on subsequent 1000 Guineas favourite Qabala in the Nell Gwyn Stakes, and can take full advantage of an easier assignment at Chelmsford.

The Charlie Appleby-trained filly was not disgraced in fifth place in the Newmarket Group Three over seven furlongs on her first race since spending the winter in Dubai. Today she drops back to six furlongs, over which her only success to date came at Yarmouth last season, when she lines-up for the Totepool Chelmer Fillies Stakes.

Nashirah can do the business and take the Listed honours.

The three-year-old, trained by Jedd O’Keeffe, stuck on well to beat Gennaro by three-quarters of a length at Pontefract to open his account. As that was only the sixth race of his life, further improvement is likely – and a rise of 5lb does not look excessive.

The daughter of Kingman had shown promise on her debut in November and backed that up with a seven-length romp. Trainer John Gosden has found a good opportunity for her to notch a second success, and she can defy a penalty.
