      Verdict

      There is little between Feather Boa and B A Highflyer on recent Newmarket nursery form as the pair meet on identical terms with marginal TEAMtalk preference for the former. Michael Blanshard's charge will relish a stamina test over this trip and has proved a most consistent servant so should go close once again. There are plenty of dangers such as the lightly raced Celestia who has scope to improve while Ellamyte comes here in good heart following a placed effort in a valuable sales event at Newmarket. Litewska will appreciate the emphasis being placed on stamina having been outpaced over this trip on a quick surface but recent all-weather winner Rowan Express has something to find at this grade.
