Arguably an even worse division that the first but something has to win and NABEEDA is our idea of it with Sherjawy and Admiral Bond others to go on the shortlist. Mel Brittain's charge reverts back to five furlongs having campaigned latterly over six and seven. His course form is solid without being spectacular and that might just about be enough. Sherjawy is a respectable enough conveyance at lowly levels. He is probably better at Kempton than here. Geoff Oldroyd has his horses in fair nick so Admiral Bond is worth more than just a cursory glance in the market. Best One is beginning to look exposed these days. Berrymead has dropped significantly down the weights and were her turf form taken into account, she has each-way claims on the basis of a victory at Brighton. Chantilly Jewel is tried in a visor having raced previously in blinkers. A race of plating grade in all but name and Nabeeda possesses least negatives.
