More to come from Nell Gwyn heroine Daban

Potential rather than proven form came to the fore in the Nell Gwyn with Daban taking a huge step forward from a maiden success at Kempton in November to run out an eyecatching winner on only her second start.

With a plethora of Group winners in opposition, it looked a strong running on paper and there appeared to be no fluke about the winner’s success, which if anything can be marked up considering she raced noticeably keenly in the early stages.

Despite those early exertions, she quickened like a good filly coming out of the dip and was extending her advantage at the line.
