THERE will be plenty of 1000 Guineas clues on offer today in the Electrolux Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket.

The likes of Special Duty, Lady Of The Desert, Habaayib and Misheer all figure fairly prominently for the first fillies’ Classic of the season next May.

Stan James cannot split Criquette Head-Maarek’s Special Duty and the Brian Meehantrained Lady Of The Desert for the Cheveley Park, making them 5-2 joint-favourites for the Group One event.

The same firm also offers 33-1 and 25-1 respectively that either horse doubles up in the Guineas.

Stan James spokesman Charlie McCann said: ‘‘Criquette Head-Maarek has already saddled three previous winners of the Newmarket fillies’ Classic and if Special Duty returns to winning ways tomorrow she is more than likely to be targeted at the 1000 Guineas on the Rowley Mile in May.

‘‘The impressive Lowther winner Lady Of The Desert is 25-1 to land the Cheveley Park/Guineas double and will give the French raider plenty to think about in what promises to be a most informative contest.’’ Martin Dwyer has partnered Lady Of The Desert in all four of her starts and is in bullish mood.

‘‘She’s definitely improved with every race, she won so easily at York – she couldn’t have done it any easier,’’ said Dwyer.

‘‘She’s ready for the step up now to a Group One.

‘‘I worked her last week and it was pretty good, she must have a great chance.

‘‘A lot of her form is working out. People probably thought it wasn’t a great Lowther, but she won it so easily and she can only beat what is put in front of her and she’s improved. She’s really exciting.’’ Royal Ascot winner Habaayib takes her chance, but has some ground to make up on Misheer from the Cherry Hinton.

However, she was under the weather for a short while after that race and may not quite have been at her best.

Fresh from Group One glory with Hibaayeb in the Fillies’ Mile last week, Clive Brittain has his eyes fixed on the prize with Misheer.

The Newmarket veteran was dancing his trademark victory jig after she won the Cherry Hinton in July, but admits he made an error by dropping back down to five furlongs for the Flying Childers last time.

‘‘She’s back to her best form,’’ said Brittain.

‘‘The filly has done nothing wrong all year, the trainer made a mistake by running her over five furlongs.’’

■ The Manifest bubble was burst in brutal fashion as the John Dunlop-trained Akmal proved far too good for the redhot favourite in the Listed Directa Signs Noel Murless Stakes at Newmarket.

Manifest, whose comfortable maiden win provoked talk of him being supplemented for the St Leger, was in trouble by the three-furlong pole as Tom Queally struggled to get on terms with the frontrunning winner.

Henry Cecil’s 4-6 market leader found nothing for pressure, which left the Richard Hills-ridden Akmal in the clear.

Dunlop’s 3-1 shot held off the late challenge of Nehaam by three-quarters of a length.

Manifest finished third, another length and a half in arrears.

Dunlop said: ‘‘He is a very tough horse. I thought this was a big hike, although it was a good three-year-old handicap he won at Yarmouth. He enjoys fast ground, gets a trip, and will go further in time.

‘‘That will be it for this year, as there is nothing else for him.’’ Rank outsider Sir Parky, trained by Richard Hannon, landed a shock win in the Group Three Somerville Tattersall Stakes by making every yard of the running.

Hughes wasted no time in driving his mount to the fore and never eased up on the 33- 1 chance, urging him all the way to the line to hold off the fast-finishing Sebastian Flyte by half a length.

Rum King also scored to bring up a Hughes-Hannon double in the Weatherbys Maiden Stakes.

While the rest of the field struck out into the centre of the track, Hughes hugged the rail on the 11-4 market leader and was never worse off than second. He easily asserted inside the final two furlongs and secured a two-length verdict over Chat De La Burg.

Kieren Fallon produced a ride of sublime quality to land the EBF Fillies’ Handicap with Sea Of Leaves.

The former champion jockey settled the Jim Goldietrained three-year-old in middivision before gradually winding up the 6-1 chance.
