Nobodys Perfect has leading claims in the bumper, and is taken to hold the potential challenges of newcomers Cistertian and Fizzywizz. Ferdy Murphy has been on a roll for the past month or so, and Nobodys Perfect will surely go close to adding to the tally judged on her promising debut effort at Wetherby last month. Held up early, she travelled sweetly through the field and as the penny dropped, was closing on the winner SweetArd at the finish. With normal improvement she should go one better, although any market moves for either Cistertian or Fizzywizz should be noted. The latter comes from a stable that definitely knows the time of day in this sphere, while Cistertian is a half-sister to Carmelite who won on her debut. In addition, Henrietta Knight won this event 12 months ago, and has a good strike-rate here as well, so Cistertian will be a popular choice. However, we shall stay loyal to Nobodys Perfect.
