This is a competitive handicap and the shortlist contains Teodora Adivina, Nutkin and Princess Cocoa and the nomination is given to Teodora Adivina. The selection looked like one to stay on the right side of when scoring in decisive fashion at Leicester last time. She is a progressive type and she makes plenty of appeal on her handicap debut. Nutkin beat Maslak in impressive fashion last time on heavy ground at Folkestone. She should be more at home on this faster surface and she is another that could be well-treated on her handicap debut. Princess Cocoa wasn't beaten far by Malyana at Ripon last time but that horse has subsequently been out and disappointed. Trouble Mountain hails from a shrewd yard and if there was strong market support for him then it could pay to take the hint. However, we will stick with Teodora Adivina who can lead them home.
