Verdict

Full Of Nature is marginally preferred to Smokey Storm and Indian Art. The selection needed every yard of six furlongs at Newmarket to get on top after being slowly away but the experience should have brought her on and she should be sharp enough for this. She's well drawn while the form of that Newmarket race looks strong with the second having finished third to the smart Danehill Destiny on debut and the third winning a decent York maiden on her next start. Smokey Storm will definitely handle the track having run well at Brighton and Goodwood; the form of his Goodwood second was given a boost when the winner, to whom he was conceding 3lbs, won a Listed race at Sandown on his next start. Indian Art isn't that well drawn but won quite nicely at Goodwood and is the preferred mount of Richard Hughes, although Roly Boy should be all the better for the extra furlong and his initial experience and can't be ignored. Our Wee Girl has looked very green on both starts and that could cost her here, Able Master faces a very stiff task giving weight away and the form of Fivefootnumberone's maiden win has taken plenty of knocks. He could do no more than win but we were impressed by FULL OF NATURE at Newmarket and she's preferred to Smokey Storm.
