Top Rank has come in for signigicant support ahead of the Group 2 Joel Stakes (3.35) at Newmarket, with punters deserting market principals Benbatl and Kameko

Available at 15-4 overnight with Paddy Power, Saeed Manana's four-year-old is now a 3-1 shot with the same firm to follow up his impressive display in the Superior Mile at Haydock 20 days ago.

Benbatl has not been seen since running in the Saudi Cup in February, while Kameko is looking to halt a quartet of fourth-placed finishes following his 2,000 Guineas success. Both continue to dispute favouritism this afternoon at around 5-2 generally.

Punters latched on to the Aidan O'Brien-trained Monday this morning ahead of the Group 2 Shadwell Rockfel Stakes (3.00)

Her nearest market rival Isabella Giles won a Goodwood Group 3 by seven lengths last month but has drifted to 2-1 (from 15-8) as punters get behind Monday.
