2025 Nell Gwyn Stakes Runners

Despite his brilliant record at Newmarket, Charlie Appleby has only managed to win the Nell Gwyn once before. That could change on Tuesday when Verse Of Love makes her reappearance, having bolted up on the Rowley Mile on her sole juvenile start.

James Doyle has been confirmed in the saddle of Arabian Dusk, who won the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes last term and finished third in the Cheveley Park. Aidan O'Brien could send over Chesham Stakes heroine Bedtime Story, and Weld Park Stakes winner Heavens Gate.

Ollie Sangster's Celestial Orbit has already proven her stamina over seven furlongs, having won the Star Stakes at Sandown last July. July Festival maiden winner, Remaat could represent Andrew Balding. Tom Marquand will ride the once-raced Nardra for William Haggas.

Kieran Shoemark has been confirmed in the saddle of all-weather winner Zanzoun. Ray Dawson rides Cartwheel for Dylan Cunha. Roger Varian's Qarlyga and Tom Clover's Biniorella Bay complete the entries.
