Mr Pickwick may be improving with experience but Nosey Barker disappointed when favourite for a handicap at Ffos Las last time and is looking exposed. Swashbuckling showed promise at Newmarket while Mediation only found one too good on her debut on soft ground at Newbury and has to go on the short-list. Trevisani is another to consider as he stayed on strongly in another maiden at Newbury having taken a while to get the hang of things. MOVIE SET is a son of Dubawi and the first foal of a mare that won a couple of Group 3 contests up to 1m4f on ground with plenty of give. He'll know what's required and can make a belated winning debut.
