George Boughey will “have a roll of the dice” in the hope of landing a first Group One and Classic success in the 1,000 Guineas next month after Cachet stretched two‑and‑a‑half lengths clear of her rivals in the Group Three Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket on Tuesday.

Cachet did not add to her debut win in a Newmarket maiden in May as a two-year-old last season but ran well in a series of Group races, finishing third in the Group One Fillies’ Mile and fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies’ Turf, and stayed on well in the seven-furlong contest after hitting the front well over two furlongs out.
