Middleham trainer Mark Johnston has admitted that his two representatives, Threading and Nyaleti, may be up against it when they take on the brilliant Group 1 Coronation Stakes winner, Alpha Centauri, in the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket’s Adnams July Course on Friday (13th July).

Threading and Nyaleti, two fillies trained at Middleham in North Yorkshire by Mark Johnston, will put their QIPCO 1000 Guineas hopes on the line when they take part in the Group 3 £60,000 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile Racecourse on Wednesday (18th April).

Juliet Capulet was all out to fend off Nyaleti in a thrilling climax to the Shadwell Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket.

Mark Johnston will consider his next move with Nyaleti after she produced a devastating display in the Princess Margaret Juddmonte Stakes at Ascot.

Connections of Nyaleti expect the filly to take "a lot of beating" in the Princess Margaret Juddmonte Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
