Not much form to go on but TEAMtalk selection Nas Na Riogh sets a fair standard and will prove hard to beat if reproducing his debut second at Kempton late last month. Nicky Henderson's filly had several of today's rivals behind on that occasion including The Last Cast who faded badly in the closing stages and there is no reason why the form should be reversed. Newcomer Itcanbedone Again had some useful form over middle distances on the Flat and should be monitored closely in the market while Briar is progressing along the right lines and shouldn't be dismissed lightly.
