'25-1 is well worth taking' - Nick Watts is keen on one for the Topham Trophy at Aintree's Grand National meeting

Although it is obviously very early days in the Flat season, it pays to take a keen interest in the racing at Doncaster as future stars can emerge. For example, last season Charyn won the Doncaster Mile before scooping three Group 1 races later in the year.

This season the race provided a hugely impressive winner in Roger Teal's Dancing Gemini. He ran in the Derby and Eclipse last year but this effort seems to confirm him as a miler, reinforcing his good second in the French 2,000 Guineas at Longchamp last May.

It wouldn't be a surprise if he followed a similar path to Charyn now. That horse took in the Sandown Mile, Lockinge and Queen Anne after his Doncaster win and would have won all three but for Audience surprising his rivals at Newbury under an enterprising ride.
