The Hannon yard have won the last two renewals so it's fair to assume NELSPRUIT will improve further. He won over 5f at Goodwood last time and was narrowly beaten over today's trip on his debut at Newbury. Aleko looks a threat on his easy debut win at Haydock and makes more appeal than stablemate Buratino, who was well beaten when second in Listed company at Sandown. Miss Moneypenny had a subsequent winner back in third when scoring at Windsor and Jeanie's Place obliged when sent off favourite on her introduction at Thirsk. Brighton winners Just Emma and Art Collection make less appeal despite Ryan Moore's presence on the latter.
