Win can come on Kew at Newmarket

- BY ASHLEY IVESON

Kew Gardens can provide Aidan O’Brien with a first ever victory in the bet365 Feilden Stakes at Newmarket.

With the Grand National meeting at Aintree now out of the way, Flat racing can again take centre stage and this Listed contest is the main attraction on the opening afternoon of the Craven meeting at Headquarte­rs. Kew Gardens was not far off being top-class as a juvenile last season, running with credit behind stable companions Nelson and Saxon Warrior.

The Galileo colt enjoyed his day in the sun when winning the Zetland Stakes at this track in October and while O’Brien’s runners invariably improve for their first outing of the campaign, Kew Gardens would surely not be making the trip across the Irish Sea unless he was ready enough to do himself justice.
