Once the winner of the Cheveley Park Stakes has departed the track, a field of talented colts will take to the Rowley Mile ahead of the Middle Park Stakes. Like the Cheveley Park, several legends of the sport have landed this huge juvenile price, including the likes of Sun Chariot, Abernant, Brigadier Gerard and Dark Angel.

2022 Middle Park Stakes Entries
After Noble Style was ruled out of Newmarket having suffered a recent bout of colic, Gimcrack Stakes runner-up, Marshman was installed as the bookie's favourite for this Group One. Aidan O'Brien watched Blackbeard win the Group One Prix Morny earlier in the season and he sits just ahead of Marshman in Betfair's betting market.
Prix Morny runner-up, Persian Force also sits prominently in the betting. As does impressive Sirenia Stakes winner, Mischief Magic who bolted up in the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton last time out.
Aidan O'Brien has also handed an entry to The Antarctic. James Ferguson's runs once-raced Zoustar colt, Zoology. Ismail Mohammed's duo of Never Just A Dream and Once More For Luck round off the small, select field.
2022 Middle Park Stakes Tips
Blackbeard and Persian Force bring the strongest winning form to the table. Both have been freshened up, having racked up the miles at the start of the season. Whether the less-exposed runners have caught up or not, only time will tell, but I'm inclined to take both on this weekend.
With Noble Style out of the race, Mischief Magic will fly the flag for Godolphin. Charlie Appleby's charge was ultra-impressive when winning the Sirenia Stakes. Yet, the jury is out on what he actually beat that day and the switch from a track like Kempton to the Rowley Mile is rather huge.
Noble Style was a little too good for MARSHMAN when they met in the Gimcrack. Karl Burke's juvenile lost his 100% record that day, but did nothing to harm his reputation, as the top two pulled a decent way clear of some talented rivals in the chasing pack.
Clifford Lee's mount is a powerful traveler who likes to be ridden prominently - traits that will suit this historic track at Newmarket racecourse. On ratings, Marshman is already up there with the best in this field and, with the prospect of more improvement to come, Burke's rising star could be the one to side with.
Verdict
Chances can be given to all of the leading contenders in this Group One. I just feel that there's a good deal of progression to come from Marshman, so I'll side with Karl Burke's runner at 5/2.
