Nell Gwyn Trends to Help You Find the Newmarket Winner
We’ve looked back at the key trends from the last 19 runnings of Wednesday’s feature Newmarket contest – the Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes – on the second day of their Craven Meeting.
The Frankie Dettori-ridden Coppice is the likely favourite for the 7f race, that is also a decent trial for the 1,000 Guineas.
Dettori, who is riding in his last season, will also be looking for his eighth win in the Nell Gwyn.
Over the years we’ve seen two Nell Gwyn Stakes winners go onto land the second Classic of the new flat turf season, including last year’s winning filly Cachet.

95% Of Nell Gwyn Stakes Winners Were Having Their First Runs of The Season
A big trend to start with that has seen 18 of the last 19 Nell Gwyn Stakes winners landing this race on their first outing back from a break.
Yes, most will fit the bill here with the new flat turf season having only just started, but two of the third three in the betting – Fairy Cross and Girl Racer – would fall down here.
Fairy Cross was in action only at the end of February at Meydan (2nd), while Girl Racer was introduced by trainer William Haggas only last month, when winning well at Wolverhampton.
Lady Bullet is the only other runner that’s been on the track in recent weeks.
Look Out for A ‘Top Three’ Finish Last Time Out
Next up is to look for a recent ‘top three’ finish. 14 of the last 19 Nell Gwyn Stakes winners ticked this Newmarket stat and we can hopefully rule out several more.
The main four in the betting – Coppice, Fairy Cross, Girl Racer and Inner Space are all fine having finished in the top two last time. However, Small Oasis, Barefoot Angel, Frankness, Sweet Harmony, Dubai Jemila and Lady Bullet all fall down here.
We can also look for horses that won last time out, with 9 of the last 19 Nell Gwyn winners supporting this trend. The last time out winners in the field are Coppice, Girl Racer, Inner Space, Karsavina, Mammas Girl and Secret Angel.

Nell Gwyn Stakes Favourites Have a Good Record
What about the Nell Gwyn Stakes favouites? Well, they’ve not got too bad a record with 37% of the last 19 winning.
We’ve also seen 13 of the last 19 market leaders placed in the race in recent times. It will be a shock if the Frankie-ridden Coppice isn’t going off as the favourite in Wednesday’s race.
63% Of Winners in The Last 19 Runners Came From The Top Three In The Betting
The market is often a great pointer to the winner of the Nell Gwyn Stakes too – 12 of the last 19 winners could be found in the first three in the betting.
If this trend is to continue in 2023, then the winner will come from Coppice, Girl Dancer or Fairy Cross (as the betting stands at the moment).

Frankie Dettori Loves to Win The Nell Gwyn Stakes
As we all know, this is the last season riding for Frankie Dettori – so, it goes without saying, he’s going to be wanting to win everything!
He’s on the likely favourite here in Coppice, who is currently @ 7/1 with the best horse racing betting sites for the 1,000 Guineas next month.
Frankie also has a top record in the Nell Gwyn Stakes – he’s won the race a staggering seven times and more than any other jockey in the history of the race.
Trainer John Gosden Is Respected
The John Gosden yard also has to be respected in the Nell Gwyn Stakes. The stable has won the race five times in total, with the first of those coming way back in 1999 with a horse called Valentine Waltz. While the most-recent Gosden winner in the race was Daban in 2017.
Frankie has ridden three of the five Gosden Nell Gwyn Stakes winners. Gosden has Coppice and Inner Space in this year’s race.
Sir Henry Cecil remains the winning-most trainer in the race with 8 successes.
