Faydhan flops at Newmarket

Leading Qipco 2000 Guineas contender Faydhan was ruled out of the race after delivering a dismal display behind 9-2 shot Home Of The Brave on his seasonal reappearance in the CSP European Free Handicap at Newmarket.

Slowly away under Paul Hanagan on his second career start, the 4-9 favourite was last in the early stages, while James Doyle bounced out on Hugo Palmer's Home Of The Brave.

As Hanagan brought his mount out to challenge the response was limited, as up front Palmer's representative bounded up the hill after coming out of the Dip.

Home Of The Brave had a length and three-quarters in hand of Richard Hannon's Tupi, with Faydhan making a little progress late on into third.

Palmer said: "We'll have to sit down and have a long think (about the Guineas) and watch what happens tomorrow and Saturday (Craven and Greenham). He might be the perfect type for the Jersey.

"He was a bit gassy, as he always is in a race, and we might have to get some skin-tight silks as noises are not his best friend - he is a very sensitive horse."

Gosden was quick to rule Faydhan out of the Newmarket Classic: "It was not unexpected as he has only won a maiden and is a slow learner.

"He ran on steadily at the finish, but I have ruled him out of the Guineas.

"I see him as more of a Royal Ascot type, with either the Jersey or St James's Palace as the race to go for."

Osaila held off the challenge of New Providence to land the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes.

The highest-rated filly in the field and the winner of a Group Three at Ascot last season, as well as a big sales race, she was drawn widest of all and Frankie Dettori bided his time before joining the main group.

Travelling noticeably well two furlongs out, Godolphin's Beautiful Romance and New Providence were the only remaining dangers.

New Providence was looking to provide Hugo Palmer with a big treble on the day and refused to go down without a fight, but Osaila gave Richard Hannon a first winner on turf of the new season.
