FLAMING NORA and Brinmore look the two to focus upon. Preference is for the former from the in-form Fanshawe team as she ran very green on her Beverley debut before the penny finally dropped. She will probably emerge as the best horse from the race and should be far more streetwise for the experience. Brinmore is a considerable danger, William Knight's charge having shown up well in a couple of Goodwood maidens. She will improve again and go close on that evidence. Lion Court disappointed on reappearance but it's too soon to write off the Prescott inmate and a better effort would not surprise. Top Diktat and Shelovestobouggie represent top connections but both need to show much more than in moderate recent runs.
