Nisser beat only four rivals to win a maiden at Windsor back in July but both placed horses went on to win. He has his first start since and Marsha has not raced since finishing third in a Listed sprint at Dundalk in October. VENTUROUS finished third over track and trip on his recent reappearance, when ahead of Take The Helm, and the Godolphin colt gets the nod in this racing off the same mark. Mr Lupton was runner-up in last year’s Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar and should be sharper for a recent run but Suqoor is upped in class after winning over 7f at Lingfield. Gallipoli was below par on his reappearance while Sahreej returns to action having shown his best form over 5f last year.
